lyrics

Obsession
(D. Caymmi / G.Peranzetta / T. Mann)

You know I never really see who you are,
It seems I never really can understand.
Just when I think that you’ve gone
I feel you take a hold of my hand.

You’re like the wind that blows in front of a storm,
The electricity explodes in the night.
Now it’s already too late
To decide if it’s wrong or it’s right.
This obsession is too strong to fight.

Somewhere there must be a place where two heartbeats can touch,
Where lovers can meet in the daylight and find it’s enough.
So do I really need the shadows you hide in,
This passion that lives in the dark?
Show me your heart.

I never hear about the pain in your past,
You never talk about the places you’ve been.
Each time you say that you love me
I find you are lying again.

And still you know you rule my dreams with your charms.
You still put all those silver clouds in my eyes,
Make me believe you’re a blessing
When you are a curse in disguise,
An obsession that can’t be denied.

You know I never really see who you are.
You’re like the wind that blows in front of a storm.
You still put all those silver clouds in my eyes.

Somewhere there must be a place where two heartbeats can touch,
Where lovers can meet in the daylight and find it’s enough,
So do I really need the shadows you hide in,
This passion that lives in the dark?
Show me your heart.
