Venice

Sun in her hair, the light in her eyes
For a moment I stared, taking photographs in my mind
Maybe it’s that dress or maybe it’s the wine
But I fell more in love on that summer Italian night
Soon we will leave there and have to go home
Fly through the sky back to life as we know
But my vision of her will forever be changed
Cause no matter where we might be
She’ll still look like Venice to me
I remember seeing eyes of a statue follow her along
As she danced through all the tiny avenues, making sure we got lost
And now we’re watching TV on the couch in our home
And the stress of her workday is taking its toll
But my vision of her will forever be changed
Cause no matter where we might be
She’ll still look like Venice to me
Tell me, how did she find the best part of her soul
In a place that she never had been to before?
And I don’t think we need to go back there again
Cause no matter where we might be
Even in Tennessee
She’ll always be Venice to me
Venice to me
