Lyrics
- The harvest moon was brightly shining
Venetian stars gleamed up above
Do you remember, in sweet September
You sang your way to love?
Refrain
That night in Venice when you came along
In my old gondola to woo
That night in Venice you sang me a song
As I smiled at two eyes of blue
Romantic words went straight to my heart
A pretty tune just seemed to impart
That love was all, can’t you recall
That night in Venice with you?
- The music of guitars enchanting
Just simply thrilled me thro’ and thro’
You loved so sweetly, then so completely
I lost my heart to you
