Canto Per Te

The stage is empty now
The crowd is already clearing out
Technicians coming and going
The last autograph for a fan.
You're always on my mind and
I sing for you.
I'm tired, I pick up
Your guitar without a "me"
You taught me how
The first chords, the first "yes."
With my eyes in a café
I sing for you.
Two lonely kids
In one big coat
Hot chestnuts and breath
To warm them up a bit.
Craving to play,
Dreams rehearsed in a garage,
But a guy, you know how it is
Wants what he can't have...
That's why
I sing for you.
Now I sing for you
Now that you're not here
Alone I sing for you
Alone in a replay.
From my eyes a bit of blush
As the spotlight fades away
If I cry, what does it matter
No one can see me anymore.
What do they know that
I sing for you.
Two lonely kids
The guitar without a "me"
I redo my makeup and put on
A smile and a new "yes."
I catch another train
My life is rushing by
Then tomorrow I'll sing
Other stories, not mine.
That's why
I sing for you.
Now I sing for you
Now that you're not here
Alone, I sing for you
Now I wish you were here...
