When we drifted in the moonlight
I fell in love with you
The world seemed paradise that night

On Venetian waters
When we drifted in the moonlight
Your lips touched mine
The halo round the moon grew bright

One stolen kiss, dear
Was fate that brought us both together
A glimpse of love, dear
That for us would never be

On Venetian waters
When we drifted in the moonlight
My heart will always keep
That moonlight memory.
