Zucchero Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

In this world I am gonna walk
Until my feet refuse to take me any longer
Yes, I'm gonna walk and walk some more

I will ask everyone I meet
Ask till they tell me there's no answers anymore
Yes, I'm gonna ask more and some more

And I will love somebody somewhere
'Til my heart breaks until it's done
Until it explodes from out of nowhere
Like the sun, like the sun

In this world I am gonna sing
Until my voice won't be singing any longer
Yes, I'm gonna sing more and some more

And I will love somebody somewhere
'Til my heart breaks until it's done
Until it explodes from out of nowhere
Like the sun, like the sun

Like the sun

I will be looking at everyone
Until my eyes refuse to see them any longer
And though it hurts me so, gonna keep on looking, looking
Looking look at me

And I will love somebody somewhere
'Til my heart breaks until it's done
Until it explodes from out of nowhere
Like the sun, like the sun

In this world I will love no more
So love can't hurt me, hurt me any longer
