Snow
Torrini Emiliana Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You won't believe what I just found out
She's getting married on the fifth time 'round
Leaning on my favorite side
And I wondered where you are and realize
Something is painted in the snow that you'd like

Finally I'm going all sane
want to tell you something
We last for long
Well we've sometimes gone astray
But I can't care for nothing, no way

And I hope again to live this life
Just to see you again before I die

Yes I hope again to live this life
To see you once more before I die





And see you before I die
