All the places I've been make it hard to begin to enjoy life again on the inside but I mean to Take a walk around the block and be glad that I've got me some time to be in from the outside and inside with you
I'm sitting on the corner feeling glad Got no money coming in but I can't be sad That was the best cup of coffee I ever had And I won't worry about a thing because we've got it made here on the inside, outside so far away
And we'll laugh and we'll sing get someone to bring our friends here for tea in the evening Old Jeffrey makes three Take a walk in the park does the wind in the dark sound like music to you? Well I'm thinking it does to me
Can you cook, can you sew well, I don't want to know That is not what you need on the inside to make the time go
Counting lambs, counting sheep we will fall into sleep and we awake to a new day of living and loving you so

Ah, que insensatez hiciste tú Corazón más sin cuidado Por un gran dolor lloro tu amor Un amor tan delicado

Ve mi corazón dile a tu amor Que tú estás arrepentido Que lo que pasó fue insensatez Y que ahora has comprendido
Ve mi corazón y con amor Sincero, apasionado Ve pide perdón pues por amor Uno siempre es perdonado
Ve mi corazón y con amor Sincero, apasionado Ve pide perdón pues por amor Uno siempre es perdonado

Che sensazione di leggera follia sta colorando l'anima mia immaginando preparo il cuscino qualcuno, è già nell'aria qualcuno, sorriso ingenuo e profumo il giradischi, le luci rosse e poi champagne ghiacciato e l'avventura può iniziare ormai accendo il fuoco e mi siedo vicino qualcuno, stasera arriva qualcuno, sorrido intanto che fumo ma come mai tu qui stasera? Ti sbagli sai, non potrei non aspettavo ti giuro nessuno! Strana atmosfera, ma cosa dici mia cara? Non sono prove, no no no: un po' di fuoco per scaldarsi un po' e poca luce per sognarti, no ? siediti qui accanto, anima mia ed abbandona la tua gelosia se puoi combinazione ho un po' di champagne se vuoi, amore come sei bella, amore, sorridi e lasciati andare! chi può bussare a quest'ora di sera? sarà uno scherzo o un amico, e chi lo sa? no, non alzarti chiunque sia si stancherà come sei bella amore, ho ancora un brivido in cuore!

Come adesso che ho bisogno della verità scavo tutte le parole in profondità e se quelle più sincere pesano di più non le lascerò cadere se mi aiuti tu E' per questo che ti cerco per questo chiedo a te non tenere il cuore spento se vuoi sentire me... E se poi tu vuoi capire lo puoi fare già forse basta riscoprire la semplicità ritrovare tutto il fiato per dirtelo così io che sono sempre stato come adesso qui... Innamorato come forse tu ancora non lo sai innamorato della vita di quest'avventura così vorrei che non finisse mai che non finisse mai... Io che ho sempre più bisogno della verità scavo tutte le parole in profondità per tirare fuori il meglio, l'anima che c'è come adesso sto facendo qui davanti a te Io non cambio questa strada perché la sento mia fino a che non ti avrò dato anche l'ultima energia... Innamorato come forse tu ancora non lo sai innamorato della vita di quest'avventura così vorrei che non venisse mai Innamorato della nuova primavera che mi dai di questa musica leggera che mi scopre ancora innamorato più che mai di te Innamorato di quest'avventura così vorrei che non finisse mai cha non finisse mai non finisse mai
