Darkest night Candlelight Your hands were soft Your skin too pale White on white I had to turn away From your light I could see you Laugh at me You knew what I was thinking inside With one look Of your all seeing eyes Wear the disguise I'm lost in your eyes Your glance felt Like a knife So clear, so blue I was swimming inside I was swimming inside You'll always be Real to me I took one look I could fly away Stare, stare In your all seeing eyes 'Till starlight You wear the disguise I'm lost in your eyes Amedio, Gli occhituoi Mi anno fatto innamorare
