Gondola, gondola, why am I crying?Where am I drifting, lost and alone?Where is the girl I met in the moonlight?She took my heart and made it her own.Gondola, gondola, why am I crying?Lonely I found her, moonlight around herDark eyes that said I'm yours to adore.And in the night filled with musicHeavenly, beautiful musicSoftly she sighed as I held her nearTrembling she murmured a moan.Gondola, gondola, why am I crying?Drifting in ecstasy, peace now had found meI fell asleep, my head in her armsWaking at dawn, my head on a pillowFragrance alone remained of her charms.Gondola, gondola, why am I crying?Was I just dreaming, was moonlight schemingPlaying a trick on my lonely heart?Oh no, I still hear the musicHeavenly, heartbreaking musicStill feel her lips as they touch my cheekWhispering that we'd never part.Gondola, gondola, gondola, gondolaGondola, gondola, gondola, gondolaGondola
