Of the crystal tears
that you spilled on leaving,
a dream I’m gonna build
To dream it in my loneliness.
Because a match, a man in his life
could never imagine.
The diamonds you cried
I saved.
You might look for
what I gave you.
Because when you search, you will only find sadness.
And seeing that your new love
didn't know how to understand you
In your nights there will be a memory that speaks of me.
Of the crystal tears
that you spilled on leaving,
a dream I’m gonna build
To dream it in my loneliness.
Because a match, a man in his life
could never imagine.
The diamonds you cried
I kept them.
You will see your image in the mirror.
It will be the same one that keeps the shape of your face,
Of your smile, of your crying.
And maybe, somewhere, listen to my voice,
with her you’ll know that your tears,
which for all are vile glass,
For me they’re diamond.
They’re tears, crystal tears.
You moved away from me
and I was crying that goodbye.
Your tears you kept
were diamonds, I saw them.
Because a match, a man in his life
could never imagine.
The diamonds that you cried, I kept them.
The diamonds that you cried, I kept them.
