Venetian Night

by Bud Lemire on March 21, 2007


Down at the Yacht Harbor on Venetian Night
All the boats parade the water with colorful lights
Decorated in lights, all over their boats
As we watched from our car, those waterway floats

From Aronsons Island, as they flowed past
They moved at a pace that was not too fast
Passing by the Water Plant, into the Yacht
Some had sails, while others did not

Some lights were colored, but it wasn’t always so
Many were perfectly arranged, just for the show
Just like the house lights, around the Christmas Holiday
Only back then, these were on the waterway

Everyone who watched, picked the most beautiful one
Comparing notes, and it sure was a lot of fun
The Popcorn Stand was there, so I got me some
While more boats passed by, the night wasn’t done

I watched every boat pass, lit up in the Yacht
While enjoying the popcorn I recently bought
Boats of every size, lit up so bright
A parade on water, on Venetian Night




Venetian Night hasn't been around in awhile, but I remember the times we had watching them.
