Someone Like You
Russell Watson [Tenor] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Il tempo passa senza che
Lo passo mai insieme ate
Ma ti pensavo sempre
Nei sogni tu con me
Per me il mondo finira
Se non ci fossi tu
Ovunque vai
Voglio che sai

If you need a friend or a lover
Or a place that you can hide
I will always be there
Even though my hands are tied

I know deep down inside
If you'd consider what we shared
Maybe you'll see
You're all that I need

E'una vita che cercando a te
E non importa che io senta per te
Soltanto una notte ancor
Chiamami amor

All of my life
All my life
I've been searching
For someone like you

There's never been a better time
There's never been a better place
For you and I together here
Alone and face to face

Oh, I'd do anything
If you'd just let me in your life
Whatever it takes
I won't make the same mistake again

E'una vita che cercando a te
E non importa che io senta per te
Soltanto una notte ancor
Chiamami amor

All of my life
All my life
I've been searching
For someone like you

Could it be the brightest star
So close, yet, still far away
Don't you know I've fallen for you
Baby, I'm calling for you
Right here, right now

E'una vita che cercando a te
E non importa che io senta per te
Soltanto una notte ancor
Chiamami amor

All of my life
All of my life
I've been searching
For someone like you





For someone like you

Even if I am powerless


I know deep down inside
I am aware within myself

So near, but still distant

Don't you know that I have fallen for you


Baby, I'm calling for you
My darling, I'm calling out to you


Right here, right now
At this precise moment

I love her without makeup. Many many years ago when I first saw her on the making of Miss Saigon, she was 17. At her audition, She was without makeup and I am telling myself, a real beautiful girl without makeup is the most beautiful moment. She proves me right even so many years later, She still got it.

@jlew3275

Tyrone Seto sorry to say teen years are peak years for no make up looks , after 21 you start seeing the cracks ...

@flowersings

JLew If a woman is truly healthy, she should not have to wear makeup all her life, have nothing to hide, and look 15 -25 years younger. People are aging prematurely due to horrible diets, pesticides, environmental toxins and pollution, and elf radiation. There are many raw vegans that look 20 or more years younger. Make up cannot hide wrinkles and sagging anyway.

@QThombre

@@jlew3275 lol

@Almenar-ow4fc

Yes true. Women with out make up its real beauty

@pinkberry3518

What makes Filipinos stand out as singers aside from their vocal prowess is their ability to deliver the message of the song and feel every word in the lyrics. It's story telling, singing and acting at the same time!

@joncerda351

Not all Filipinos are like that lol just Lea Salonga

@buttercup9155

2021 anyone? still listening to this video again and again. they sound so good and gosh Lea's beauty is so timeless just like her voice!!! ✨

@beverlyhill9947

I AGREE, AND WANT TO ADD WARMLY, RUSSELL WATSON IS SO AMAZING IN HIS RANGE, POWER, DEFINITION AND TONE IN HIS SPECIAL GIFT OF VOICE AND PERSONALITY. AND HE IS NOT BAD ON THE EYES EITHER. MANY YEARS LATER, I HAVE SEEN RUSSELL SING AT THE ROYAL ALBERT~~"SOMEONE TO REMEMBER ME" AND NOW THAT WAS MAGIC FOR SURE. SADLY, HIS HEALTH AND HERS CHANGED THEIR LIVES FROM THE ABOVE VIDEO IN 2001. BUT THEY STILL ARE GIFTS TO THE WORLD. THEIR VOICES WILL CONTINUE TO BLESS LIVES AS WE DO REWINDS OF THEIR MUSICAL CAREERS. GOD BE WITH THEM BOTH. THIS VIDEO WAS SO POWERFUL AND BREATHING...I JUST LOVED IT! WHAT WOMAN WOULD NOT WANT TO BE SUNG TO BY RUSSELL WATSON AND LIKEWISE WHAT MAN WOULD NOT WANT TO SUNG TO BY LEA SALONGA. SO LOVELY INDEED!~~BEV~~USA
