Singing Softly To Me
Things seem so much better when
they're not part of your close surroundings.
Like words in a letter sent,
amplified by the distance.
Possibilities and sweeter dreams,
sights and sounds calling form far away,
calling from far away.
I didn't know you then, now did I girl?
I couldn't hear you singing softly to me.
I didn't know you then, now did I girl?
I didn't see the brave girl so near me.
I didn't know you then, now did I girl?
I couldn't hear you sing softly to me.
I wanted a mystery that couldn't be solved,
I wanted a puzzle with pieces missing.
I wanted a story that couldn't be told,
only the fishing part of fishing.
I didn't know you then, now did I girl?
I couldn't hear you singing softly to me.
I didn't know you then, now did I girl?
I didn't see the brave girl so near me.
I didn't know you then, now did I girl?
I couldn't hear you sing softly to me.
And now I find
it was you all the time.
I'm in love again-
it's too late now...
Cantándome Suavemente
Las cosas parecen mucho mejor cuando
no son parte de tu entorno cercano.
Como palabras en una carta enviada,
amplificadas por la distancia.
Posibilidades y sueños más dulces,
vistas y sonidos llamando desde lejos,
llamando desde lejos.
No te conocía entonces, ¿verdad, chica?
No podía escucharte cantándome suavemente.
No te conocía entonces, ¿verdad, chica?
No vi a la valiente chica tan cerca de mí.
No te conocía entonces, ¿verdad, chica?
No podía escucharte cantar suavemente para mí.
Quería un misterio que no pudiera resolverse,
quería un rompecabezas con piezas faltantes.
Quería una historia que no pudiera contarse,
solo la parte de pescar en la pesca.
No te conocía entonces, ¿verdad, chica?
No podía escucharte cantándome suavemente.
No te conocía entonces, ¿verdad, chica?
No vi a la valiente chica tan cerca de mí.
No te conocía entonces, ¿verdad, chica?
No podía escucharte cantar suavemente para mí.
Y ahora descubro
que eras tú todo el tiempo.
Estoy enamorado de nuevo-
es demasiado tarde ahora...
