Dearest Pinocchio
friend from my happiest days
of all of my secrets
that I've entrusted to you
Dearest Pinocchio
la-la-la-la-la
remember when I was little
la-la-la-la-la
in my little white bed
la-la-la-la-la-la
I paged through you
vai-ia
I talked to you
vai-ia
I dreamed of you
vai-ia-ti-pu-ci-pu
Where are you? I want to see you
I want to know about your world
Perhaps daddy, Geppetto
is with you?
Where are the cat who deceived you,
the good cricket that spoke to you,
and the Blue Fairy?
Where?
Who knows?
Dearest Pinocchio
Sentimental little one, don't you think?
friend from my happiest days
Remember Toyland?
with all of my secrets
And the puppet master1, how frightening!
remain now
in my heart
as you were then
Dearest Pinocchio
