Ti Voglio Dire

I want to tell you
that I can never find
words for love.
I’d like to try
for you a whole lifetime
to build
and look ahead
and say that’s where we’ll get
to one day.

I want to tell you
that with you
I’ve started hoping again;
your silence
gives me the courage to
start over.
Lay your face here,
close your eyes,
the world isn’t watching us anymore.

If you sleep, dream of me;
if you shiver, hold on to me.
I’ll be your home,
I’ll protect you,
I’ll make you sing
for love.

I want to tell you
thank you for this strength that
you give me.
With you near,
my desire is strong
to get there.

I want to tell you
now that it’s night
and you can’t hear me anymore,
thank you for the days
that you spend waiting
for me to come back;
thank you if when you wake up
every morning
you’re close to me.

If you cry, hold me tight
with all your soul;
if you shiver, hold on to me.
I’ll be your home,
I’ll protect you,
I’ll make you sing
my love.

I want to tell you.
