Spero Stai Bene

Spero stai bene.
Cause it's been so long
too long to count the days.
Sento la tua mancanza.
Oh, I miss you everyday.

Breathing was easy
when I was with you.
Living, instead of grieving-
Now what do I do?
Ora che cosa faccio?

And here.
in lonely, empty world.
It's more quiet than before.
Il sole e le stelle
watch over me
when I sleep...

Dreaming was easy
when you were here with me.
Seeing was intriguing.
Now what memories can I keep?
Ora che cosa faccio?

Oh, somewhere, wherever you are.
Oh, there, you take care.
I'll rest on your arm.
I hope you are well.
Wherever you are,
I hope you are well.

Catching Butterflies

A little girl,
no more than 6 years old,
stands out in the yard.
Blowing dandilions,
sipping honey suckles,
dealing with all the time she's got.

And she likes catching butterflies in her net.
She thinks you're the sun in her eyes
or the gold around her neck.
She likes the color blue
if you guessed.
She knows more about you
than the flowers on her dress.

This sweet girl,
with no more than lent in her hair,
frolics and calls it "dancing with the air".
Well, I never knew her name,
I just played her games
and put her picture in a frame.

The girl who catches butterflies and
then lets them go.
It may come as a surprise,
if you knew she was alone.
Catching butterflies without a care
in the world-
a little girl no more than 6 years old.

She knows, she knows, she knows...
about catching butterflies.

Cups

I saw you.
How could you?
Do you have a heart inside?
Don't say you didn't mean it
oh, babe, cause I won't believe it.
Face it, you did wrong.

I saw cups fly.
The sound of them shatter on the floor
still plays in my mind
and how she cried,
when you left out the door.

It scares me.
It tears between
my emotions for you.
I seemed so happy
until I found out what it is that you do.

I saw cups fly.
The sound of love getting ready to die
still shows the light
and how she lied,
when you said goodbye.

The Night We Let Go

I was at a party with my friends.
Before it started, I knew this was the end.
I saw you, baby.
You looked up with those blue eyes.
The same ones you gave me when you lied.

On the night we let go,
I saw some things I never thought I would
and let me know
all I should've been told.
Thank you for the night we let go.

Was it a foolish mistake I made?
Why was I so stupid of the price I paid?
Well, things cost alot
, but not as much as I had lost.
Silly, how was the game?

You looked up with those blue eyes.
You caught me by surprise.
I should have realized.
How dumb was I...
on the night we let go?
