Distante dos Olhos
Moacyr Franco
Far from the Eyes
Why does this tear run so cold
And winter has already gone?
Why are the kids from the street
Not playing tonight?
I don't know why the joy of old friends
Doesn't amuse me anymore and one told me like this
Far from the eyes, slowly you forget
The love that doesn't sleep in your heart
But there's someone I send to bring you a rose
Asking if I'm forgetting about you
So far from the eyes, so close to me
There's no path that doesn't lead to you
And now I know why always that bitter sob
I try to hide
When I think that maybe someone will pass by
Hug you, speak of love
Also because I can't remember the smile
That exists in your gaze when you're not here
Far from the eyes, slowly you forget
The love that doesn't sleep in your heart
But there's someone I send to bring you a rose
Asking if I'm forgetting about you
So far from the eyes, so close to me
There's no path that doesn't lead to you
But there's someone I send to bring you a rose
Asking if I'm forgetting about you
So far from the eyes, so close to me
Through every path I will find you
