Da una lacrima sul viso
ho capito molte cose
dopo tanti tanti mesi
ora so cosa sono per te.
Una lacrima e un sorriso
m'han svelato il tuo segreto
che sei stata innamorata di me
ed ancora lo sei.
Non ho mai capito
non sapevo che - che tu, che tu
tu mi amavi ma, - come me,
non trovavi mai
il coraggio di dirlo, ma poi...
Quella lacrima sul viso
e un miracolo d'amore
che si avvera in questo istante per me
che non amo che te.
