Venice Without You

The water remembers Everything I booked the room we talked about The one above the narrow street There's music drifting from the harbor And strangers dancing in the heat The waiter smiled and asked a question If i was waiting for someone I almost said your name out loud Before remembering you're gone Every Looks like a memory Every light Knows something i don't Venice without you Is just water and lights Everybody's taking pictures Of the same old perfect night Venice without you Still beautiful tonight But every million-dollar sunset Doesn't feel alive Venice without you The boats still cut across the silence The church bells ring on every hour The city hasn't missed a heartbeat The city never lost its power That's what hurts the most about it Nothing here remembers pain The world just keeps on turning golden Like you were never even here Every Looks like a memory Every light Knows something i don't Venice without you Is just water and lights Everybody's taking pictures Of the same old perfect night Venice without you Still beautiful tonight But every million-dollar sunset Doesn't feel alive Venice without you Maybe love is just a city You can never visit twice Maybe people leave forever While the streets remain alive Maybe that's the hidden lesson Maybe that's what growing means Learning how to love a memory Without living in the dream Venice without you Is just water and lights Everybody's taking pictures Of the same old perfect night Venice without you Still beautiful tonight But every million-dollar sunset Doesn't feel alive Venice without you Venice without you The water remembers I don't have to
