Verse:

I'm dreaming of hours I've never known,
I'm dreaming of someone to call my own.
I sing you a love song, but all in vain,
For nobody answers my love refrain;

Chorus:

A lonely gondolier is singing of romance underneath the stars,
While voices in the shadows hum to the strum of guitars.
He puts his heart into the love song, so many lovers come to hear,
And then into the waters blue, there falls a tear,
To tell the story of the lonely gondolier.
