Sing Along – Against All Odds

Una delle mie canzoni d’amore preferite. Mi basta ascoltare solo i primi due accordi per tornare a un’estate di tanti anni fa, in campeggio. Rivedo la nostra roulotte, le biciclette, gli amici, le feste al campetto. E un ragazzo romano che mi faceva battere forte il cuore… E poi, adoro Phil Collins!

How can I just let you walk away,
Just let you leave without a trace?
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh ooh
You’re the only one who really knew me at all

How can you just walk away from me
When all I can do is watch you leave?
‘Cause we’ve shared the laughter and the pain
And even shared the tears
You’re the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now
‘Cause there’s just an empty space
And there’s nothing left here to remind me
Just a memory of your face

Ooh, Take a look at me now
‘Cause there’s just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds
And that’s what I’ve got to face

I wish I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There’s so much I need to say to you
So many reasons why
You’re the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now
‘Cause there’s just an empty space
And there’s nothing left here to remind me
Just a memory of your face

Take a look at me now
‘Cause there’s just an empty space
But to wait for you well that’s all I can do
And that’s what I’ve got to face

Take a good look at me now
‘Cause I’ll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
And that’s a chance I’ve got to take

Take a look at me now

Happy St Valentine’s Day, j
