Lyrics
- Gone are the cares of the day
Night calls my sorrow away
With you in fancy I stray
While of a silvery stream I dream
Chorus:
‘Neath the pale Venetian Moon
There are stars that twinkle
And guitars that tinkle
Drifting on a blue lagoon
In the moonlight playing
‘Mid the shadows swaying
Melodies you sang to me
Memories shall ever be
Long ago and far away
Tender voices blending
Just a message sending
Still in dreams, I hear you say
Lonely lips are missing
Lips that spoke of kissing
We shall meet some other June
‘Neath the pale Venetian Moon
- Bright were the stars in the sky
Lighting the tear in your eye
While you were sighing “Goodbye”
Vainly I’ve tried to forget we met
Sung by Laurence Rubenstein:
