Serenade
Gianni Togni Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
se ti vedessi non ci crederei
sei un grido chiuso qui
nella bocca dello stomaco
che non sa come uscire e resta lì
Serenade
perché ho bisogno di rinascere
che stà entrando nella vita mia
è tanto tempo ormai che io ci provo
Serenade
se sapessi quanto ti vorrei
perchè pensarti è solitudine
perchè parlarti è già difficile
io che mi sto tenendo tutto dentro
Serenade, oh sì
anche solo per un attimo
come vorrei che fosse subito
perché lo sai, la vita non aspetta mai
Serenade
io sto cambiando devi credermi
e se qualche volta ho finto
è stato solo per difendermi
da una paura che non ho mai vinto
Serenade
se sapessi quanto ti vorrei
per non sentirmi così inutile
perchè in qualcosa devo credere
tu sai che un uomo non può farne a meno
Serenade, oh si
anche solo per un attimo
come vorrei che fosse subito
perchè lo sai, la vita non aspetta mai
come vorrei che fosse subito
perché lo sai, la vita non aspetta mai
