How Sad Venice Can Be (Que C'est Triste Venise)
Charles Aznavour
Ton : C
HA#ow sad Venice can be
When yFou return alone
To fGmind a memory
In every paving sFtone.
ICm walk among the birds
That fFill San Marco's Square
With eCchoes of her words
Around me in the aFir.
HA#ow sad Venice can be
When the mGandolins play
A sCmong she sung for me
One unforgotten dFay.
LA#ike images of sleep
TD#he gondoliers go by
But wCmhen I try to weep
I fFind my tears are dA#ry.
HBow sad Venice can be
When mG#mist is in your eyes
And you can hC#mardly see
As pigeons fill the sF#kies.
I fC#mind the little street
And tF#hen the old café
Where wC#me would always meet
To dream away the dF#ay.
HBow sad Venice can be
Be-nAeath the silent mG#oon
ThC#mat rises from the sea
And silvers the la-gF#oon.
I hBear the vespers chime
And cG#mross the Bridge of Sighs
I kC#mnow that it is time
To bF#id my last good-bByes.
TChere's nothing more to say
I pFass beneath the light
And then I tDmurn away
From VGenice in the nCight.
HCow sad Venice can be
It's tFoo lonely to bAare
When yFou have lost the love
That yGou discovered tChere.
