Contando Estrelas
Diogo Nogueira
Counting Stars
Counting stars, I watch the night fade away
And I don’t even notice the beauty of the moonlight
The sun rising on the horizon brings dawn
And I’m suffering, can’t even appreciate it
The wind carries the light dirt from the yard
And the little birds sing around my place
My heart trapped in the barn
Barely hears the morning symphony
The afternoon falls and doesn’t erase this longing
The blue sky without a witness loses its color
Time flies, I don’t notice, and that’s how
My life is with the end of our love
Give me back my joy
Come running back home
The house feels so empty
Without your scent in the air
The dining room table with no one to say good morning
Without your flavor to please my taste
In the picture frame, all that’s left of us
I miss your smell
Here on my pillow, under the sheets
Come back, I don’t want anymore
The memories of my sighs
Bring back the scent and the flavor
The beauty and the color
Of this love that’s just ours
I’m getting bitter
With my head stuck in the past
Come give me this gift
