Occhi da orientale

Eastern eyes that tell emotions
clear gaze of April, of the sweetest illusions
all written on a face that can't seem to learn
how to hold back at least its own pain
More than five hundred nights I've already fallen for
a mouth just slightly open, a breathless sigh
if this darkness could erase the universe
maybe I could look at you and not feel so lost

but you sleep a little longer, don’t wake up just yet
I’m scared to touch you and mess it all up
no, you sleep a little longer, I still don’t know
how to look at you the right way
in your disarming eyes

they're eyes of shiny amber between violet eyelids
clear gaze of April like when the sun comes out
and I’ll be the cloud that keeps you hidden
so others won’t notice you’ve been lost

but you sleep a little longer, don’t wake up just yet
I’m scared to touch you and mess it all up
no, you sleep a little longer, I still don’t know
how to look at you the right way

in your innocent, disarming, devastating eyes
those eyes of yours right in front of me
keep them closed for just a few more moments

Eastern eyes that tell emotions
and what else can I do, I can write songs
your eyes...

if this music could erase the universe
maybe I could look at you and not feel lost
in your eyes...
lost...
in your eyes...
