TO MAKE YOU HAPPY

A big place is waiting for us

the apartment of our dreams

a room with so much space 

you can fill it with things

you can walk through it

and do your own things

a place for me, for you

for our little girl

for our own comfort,

pack your bags 'cause we're going far

to another country, to the sea, wherever you want

'cause what is good for you is good for me

I want to see that big smile, the way you feel

the way an ice cream makes you smile

and feel so satisfied

'cause that's what means real life

it's in the small things

and I want you to spread your wings

to make you happy it's all that matters to me

I will not complain, I'll stay on weekends with you watching tv

or what about going somewhere and eat something new?

take the risk and try something new for you

or we can play safe and ask what you like

I know it's related with chicken and fries

and then let's drive somewhere else, I know what your face means

let's go and sit somewhere else and ask for two ice creams

you know I'll always eat half while you're eating it all

then we go home to sleep, 

I always smile when you sleep and  I feel you breathe

to lose you is something I wouldn't know how to live with...

But still here I am

and I have gone far 

though we will never be apart

I'm running towards something I will never reach

'cause I already had it, I already went through it

the unconditional love you gave me like no one ever will

and these dreams fgo on when I close my eyes, 

where you just stare at me

where I'd do anything to make you real happy

and you just stare at me like it's ok

like telling me to live the moment 

'cause it's gonna end once I am awake

and so it is

then I keep thinking how could I have made you a little happier

thinking inside me "Why didn't I do this or that for her?"

but it softens my pain to think of the way you stare at me

and to know that I still can have you in my dreams to make you happy

even though I cry when I try to reach you in real life

I run after your memories, I go after the life we had,

I run after the love you gave me and end up feeling bad,

I lie and rest in your bed to see you, 

your love lives in my head, I feel you...

I feel you...

Spare a little candle
Save some light for me
Figures up ahead
Moving in the trees
White skin in linen
Perfume on my wrist
And the full moon that hangs over
These dreams in the mist

Darkness on the edge
Shadows where I stand
I search for the time
On a watch with no hands
I want to see you clearly
Come closer than this
But all I remember
Are the dreams in the mist

These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away

Is it cloak n dagger
Could it be spring or fall
I walk without a cut
Through a stained glass wall
Weaker in my eyesight
The candle in my grip
And words that have no form
Are falling from my lips

These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away

There's something out there
I can't resist
I need to hide away from the pain
There's something out there
I can't resist

The sweetest song is silence
That I've ever heard
Funny how your feet
In dreams never touch the earth
In a wood full of princes
Freedom is a kiss
But the prince hides his face
From dreams in the mist

These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away

These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away
