I pray you'll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer when we lose our way
Lead us to a place, guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe
La luce che tu dai (The light you give)*
I pray we'll find you light
Nel cuore resterà (Will stay in our hearts)
And hold it in our hearts
A ricordarci che (To remind us of)
When stars go out each night
L'eterna stella sei (You, the everlasting star)
Nella mia preghiera (In my prayer)
Let this be our prayer
Quanta fede c'è (There is so great a faith)
When shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
Sognamo un mondo senza più violenza
(We dream of a world without violence)
Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
(A world of justice and of hope)
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
(Take your neighbour's hand)
Simbolo di pace e di fraternità
(As a symbol of peace and brotherhood)
La forza che ci dai (The strenght you give to us)
We ask that life be kind
E'il desiderio che (It is our prayer that)
And watch us from above
Ognuno trovi amore (We all will find love)
We hope each soul will find
Intorno e dentre sé (Within and without ourselves)
Another soul to love
Let this be our prayer
Just like every child
Needs to find a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
E la fede ched (And the faith)
Hai accesi in noi (That you've given us)
Sento che ci salverà (Will grant us salvation)

Jesu, joy of man's desiring
Holy wisdom, love most bright
Drawn by Thee, our souls aspiring
Soar to uncreated light
Word of God, our flesh that fashioned
With the fire of life impassioned
Striving still to truth unknown
Soaring, dying round Thy throne

I know you're gone
I watched you leave
I always thought that it was me
You made it clear with that last kiss
You couldn't live a life
With maybes and what ifs
When every boat has sailed away
And every path is marked and paved
When every road has had its say
Then I'll be bringing you
Back home to stay
I have the cards you sent to me
You wrote of trains and Paris galleries
This spring you'll draw
Canals and frescoed walls
Look how far your dreaming's gone
When every town looks just the same
When every choice gets hard to make
When every map is put away
Then I'll be bringing you
Back home to stay
And now I know why you had to go alone
Isn't there a place between?
When every boat has sailed away
And every path is marked and paved
When every road has had its say
Then I'll be bringing you
Back home to stay
Reach out to me
Call out my name
And I would bring you back again
Today…

Un Amore per Sempre [Italian]
Ecco ora mai
Il momento temuto da tempo sai
Già so quello che mi dirai
E la fine di noi
So che con lui tu te senti più
Libera di essere di volere
Di prendere di contare di più
Che scioco io
Io che ti ho dato tutto di me
Ora che vai
Stai portando il mio cuore con te
Un amore per sempre
Dura solo un istante
Sono tanti i ricordi
Che svaniscono in te
Resta forse quel sogno
Una storia di amanti
Ma alla fine vai via da me
Questa città
E un immenso deserto di lacrime
Sento il cuore affogare en me
Mentre tu sei con lui
Dicono che no se muore in amore
Non perdi mai
Io mi sento morire ormai
Vuoto dentro di me
So pure che
Dovrei essere felice per te
Ma mentirei
Perché volgio che resti con me
Un amore per sempre
Dura solo un istante
Sono tanti i ricordi
Che svaniscono in te
Resta forse quel sogno
U una storia di amanti
Ma alla fine ti perdo
Te ne vai, vai con lui
Un amore per sempre
Dura solo un istante
Sono troppi i ricordi
Che svaniscono in te
Resta qualche momento
Forse solo un istante
Ma alla fine vai via
Lontano da me
An Everlasting Love [English]
Here it is—
The moment that I've been dreading
I know what you are going to say
That it is over for us
I know that with him, you will feel
Free to be who you want to be
That you know you can count on him
I was so foolish
To give you my all
As you leave now
You take my heart with you
An everlasting love
Lasts only for a moment
Many of these memories
Vanish with you
Perhaps this dream
This story of lovers will remain
But in the end, you are still leaving me
I am like a deserted city
Filled only with tears,
Which drown my heart
Whenever I think of you and him
They say that you don't die from love
That you have nothing to lose
I feel myself dying
I feel a great void within myself
I also know
That I should be happy for you
But I would be lying if I said so
Because I want you by my side
An everlasting love
Lasts only for a moment
Many of these memories
Vanish with you
Perhaps this dream
This story of lover will remain
But in the end, I've still lost you
For you are leaving—with him
An everlasting love
Lasts only for a moment
Many of these memories
Vanish with you
The moment will last
Maybe only for an instant
But in the end, you are gone
Far away from me

Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land
Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen
They did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
Now I understand what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen
They did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left inside
On that starry, starry night
You took your life as lovers often do
But I could have told you, Vincent
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
Starry, starry night
Portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Now I think I know
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen
They're not listening still
Perhaps they never will
