Ti amo [English Version] lyrics

‘Ti amo’, but for your ‘ti amo’,

Meanin’ I love you so,

I Wouldn’t be tryin’ to keep love from dyin’.

Why did you say, ‘Ti amo.’?

knowin’ it was not so?

Why did you have to play,

leavin’ me lonely, with memories only?

You could have been straight to me,

sayin’ it just can’t be,

but no, you led me on.

I was the tall guy, and now I’m the fall guy.

How was I to know when this big affair started,

I would end up broken hearted?

Summer dreams gone with the wind now.

Your ‘forever’ turned to never.

Your ‘ti amo’, your whisper ‘ti amo’,

was just a song and dance,

while I kept spinnin’ and thought I was winnin’.

Your kisses were sweet and your words were so tender.

How was I not to surrender?

Your every touch sent me flyin’.

Oh I loved you! How I loved you!

Yes I was yours. I simply had to be.

You meant so much to me.

I had to have you, to hold you and have you.

The nights will grow longer and snow will be fallin’.

Softly my heart will be callin’,

but there won’t be any answer.

You can’t hear me. You’re not near me.

I know we’re through. I should get over you,

but I still need you so.

Ti amo, ti amo, ti amo, ti amo, ti amo.

How could I know when it started,

I would end up broken hearted?

Summer dreams gone up in smoke now.

Your ‘forever’ turned to never.

Your ‘ti amo’, your whisper ‘ti amo’,

was just a song and dance,

while I kept spinnin’ and thought I was winnin’.

The nights will grow longer and snow will be fallin’.

Softly my heart will be callin’,

but there won’t be any answer.

You can’t hear me. You’re not near me.

Your ti amo, ti amo, ti amo, ti amo, ti amo…
