a question related to void

I found this sentence in MSDN:
When used as a function return type, the void keyword specifies that the function does not return a value.
Note that "does not return a value".
And I know that Classes have a special member function called a constructor. The constructor can take parameters as needed, but it cannot have a return value.
Here is the question:
Why could not I use void when declare a constructor?

constructor does return something, a new instant of the object ;

Because the standard says so.

In the end, that's really the only reason. The standard
specifies a very special syntax for constructors, and that's the
syntax you have to use. It could have specified something else,
and then you'd have had to use something else. But any way you
look at it, constructors are not just everyday, run of the mill
functions, and need a special syntax.
