Tu, con l'espressione malinconica
E quel sorriso in piu,
Cosa mi fai ?
Stai cosí vicino, cosí immobile
Parla qualcosa, non ti ascolto mai.
I maschi disegnati sui metro
Confondono le linee di Miro.
Delle vetrine, dietro ai Bistrot
Ogni carezza della notte
E quasi amor.
I maschi innamorati dentro ai bar
Ci chiamano dai muri di citta
Dalle vetrine, dietro ai juke box
Ogni carezza della notte
E quasi amor.
Tu sotto la giacca,
Cosa avrai di piu,
Quando fa sera
E il cuore si scatena.
Mi va, sulle scale poi te lo daro
Quello che sento
Parlami ancora un po'.
I maschi innamorati dentro ai bar
Ci chiamano dai muri di citta
Dalle vetrine, dietro ai juke box
Ogni carezza della notte
E quasi amor.
Ai maschi innamorati come me
Ai maschi innamorati come te
Quali emozioni, quante bugie,
Ma questa notte voglio farti le pazzie.
Ai maschi innamorati come me
Ai maschi allucinanti piu di te
Non e mai ora a dirti addio
Tutta la notte voglio farti ancora mio...si!

J'avais dessiné sur le sable
Son doux visage qui me souriait
Puis il a plu sur cette plage
Dans cet orage, elle a disparu
Et j'ai crié, crié, Aline, pour qu'elle revienne
Et j'ai pleuré, pleuré, oh! j'avais trop de peine
Je me suis assis près de son âme
Mais la belle dame s'était enfuie
Je l'ai cherchée sans plus y croire
Et sans un espoir, pour me guider
Et j'ai crié, crié, Aline, pour qu'elle revienne
Et j'ai pleuré, pleuré, oh! j'avais trop de peine
Je n'ai gardé que ce doux visage
Comme une épave sur le sable mouillé
Et j'ai crié, crié, Aline, pour qu'elle revienne
Et j'ai pleuré, pleuré, oh! j'avais trop de peine
Et j'ai crié, crié, Aline, pour qu'elle revienne
Et j'ai pleuré, pleuré, oh! j'avais trop de peine

You're here with me now but you're saying
You don't want me any more
You're holding me now but you're saying
You can't see me no no more
You whisper good-bye then cling tighter to me
I can't take no more.
Baby it's you
Who makes me feel the way that you do
You know I can't forget you so soon
Baby it's you.
Running your fingers through my hair
But saying you care no more
You're kissing my ear with a heart chilling
Breath that you can't no more
Laying beside me with legs all around me
I care no more oh no.
Baby it's you
Who makes me do the things that I do
You know I can't cast aside you so soon
Baby it's you.
Changing the show
Adding dramatics to help love grow
Your heart is your life
Cut it carefully with your knife
Don't leave the world
Stay right here
Don't make don't make anything rough.
Baby it's you
Who makes me feel the way that you do
You know I can't forget you so soon
Baby it's you.
Baby it's you
Who makes me do the things that I do
You know I can't cast aside you so soon
Baby it's you.
Watching the pretty flowers grow
Never again no summer

See the tree, how big it's grown 
But friend it hasn't been too long 
It wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad, 
The first day that she planted it
Was just a twig
Then the first snow came and she ran out 
To brush the snow away
So it wouldn't die
Came runnin' in all excited, 
Slipped and almost hurt herself
And I laughed till I cried
She was always young at heart, 
Kinda dumb and kinda smart 
And I loved her so
And I surprised her with a puppy
Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago
And it would sure embarrass her
When I came in from workin' late 
'Cause I would know
That she'd been sittin' there and cryin'
Over some sad and silly late, late show
And honey, I miss you and I'm bein' good
And I'd love to be with you if only I could
She wrecked the car and she was sad
And so afraid that I'd be mad 
But what the heck
Though I pretended hard to be
Guess you could say she saw through me 
And hugged my neck
I came home unexpectedly 
And caught her cryin' needlessly
In the middle of a day
And it was in the early spring 
When flowers bloom and robins sing
She went away
And honey, I miss you and I'm bein' good
And I'd love to be with you if only I could
One day while I was not at home 
While she was there and all alone
The angels came
Now all I have is memories of honey 
And I wake up nights and call her name
Now my life's an empty stage 
Where honey lived and honey played
And love grew up
And a small cloud passes overhead 
And cries down on the flower bed
That honey loved
And see the tree how big it's grown 
But friend it hasn't been too long 
It wasn't big
And I laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted it, 
Was just a twig
