Every Little Smile Is a Star
It's useless to tell everybody
what a great lover you are;
if all you do is listen without an ear.
Come and hold my hands and dare
to tell me you have stopped loving me...
be honest and ease this fear!
Every little smile is a star
that brings beauty and light into my moonless night,
talking away the shiver, the pain, and the doubt;
can it leave the deepest scar?
I can't talk about feelings never revealed,
you wouldn't understand that they are so sweet and precious;
I'd rather keep them inside and remain sad...
until an unexpected voice will awaken them to become words!
Every little smile is a star
that is very distant from the heart and the eyes;
reach out and touch it as if it were a small firefly:
be gentle and it will still glow for hours...
every little smile is a star
that stays for a night comforting who's about to cry!
