A dream come true
A gondola ride so nice
History in front of me
Building paint chipping away
From the water and years gone past
I feel like I have déjà vu
I belong here
I have been here before
It calls my name
My name now and past
Its beauty speaks of ages past
The ride through the Grand Canal
Sends my heart a flutter
Another gondola with two old ladies pass by
They are knocking Venice for not repainting
Why paint over history
Why not see the wonder and miracle of this unique city
I have found love here
I have found my past
I have found beauty
St. Marks Piazza, we walked hand in hand
My new husband and I
Honeymooning in Venice
A miracle in my mind
He was a blond blue eyed 6 foot 2 beauty
We were at peace here
Oh if only we could have stayed
The architecture spoke to my soul
Its uniqueness a wonder to behold
So much to say about this city on water
Gondolas the way to travel
City of canals
Call me back
Give me peace
My love I miss you
Venice you are my home
Wish I had come alone
Bridge of Sighs
Please receive my sighs
