O Sole Mio" by MEN WITHOUT HATS

================================



So high

give me your love

imagination

run wild

tell me you're mine

i can never remember your name



so high

give me your heart

hey guardian angels

more light,

i'm falling in love

and i want to remember my way



Mother, mother

can't you see

everyone's in love with me

O sole mio



so far

given the light

of distant ages

sometimes i can never be sure

i can only remember today



so now

given enough

i'll heed the sages

how far is the mountain above

well it wasn't a potion away



Mother, mother

can't you see

everyone's in love with me

(but only i know)

all the people in the square

try to act like nothing's there

O sole mio

(i was a rainbow)



so now

give me your love

in celebration

of life

in love

of fascination

so now give me your heart

my guardian angel knows

(i was a rainbow)



Mother, mother

can't you see

something's wrong inside me

everytime i try to say the words

they don't come out right

Mother, mother

if you please

life has got me on my knees

half expecting someone's love

[to come]

and hit me blind side

Mother, mother

if you care

tell me i am unaware

of what i'm doing to your beauty

and your holy love-life

Mother, mother

if you please

something's wrong inside of me

everytime i try to say the words

they don't come out right



Me

i was a rainbow

O sole mio
