Lagoon

A Shallow body of water 
 Separated from the ocean 
People comes to Venice 
Hoping to find love fill emotions
  
He drives a gondola 
With lovers from every where 
So many Private conversations 
He can't help but overhear 
  
There was a couple 
 Got married this afternoon 
They were having ice cream 
Under a full new moon 
  
But today he's with another girl 
Sailing down the lagoon 
Hugging and kissing 
will go to his wife very soon 
  
There are so many rides 
Fill with love and adultery 
On the lagoon of Venice 
Only a gondolier can see 
  
So many comes here 
Looking for love that's true 
Hoping to find happiness 
So their life's can become new 
  
There was a girl from Trinidad 
Who was alone on the lagoon? 
 She meet a guy from New York 
They found love that afternoon 
  
A couple came from England 
Looking for what had disappear 
They lost their love in London 
And are hoping to find it here 
  
It's just a lagoon 
But a place of love   
And people comes hoping to 
 Find what they been  dreaming of 
  
Some will find love to day 
Some might find it tomorrow 
Some love you will get to keep 
And some you can just borrow 
  
So many comes to this lagoon 
Waiting for love to starts 
Not knowing they already have it 
If they look in their hearts 
  
 Love can happen anywhere 
On the land, skies and sea 
But when true love comes 
The Lagoon is where some hope to be 
  
Across the universe 
Under the sun or the moon 
People are falling in love 
On a beautiful lagoon
