You woke us up with a kiss, and then
You went to bed while we
Ran into that school that
You told us teaches us how to live
But you taught us life
Every day a little bit more
With those loving eyes of yours
Of two crazy children like us
What I wouldn't give
Because time never ages us
I learned to sing with you
In the summer nights, in the coffee
I learned my courage
And I divided the street and happiness
Your strength and your sadness
Every instant, every mirage
For the parties you were never at
Mom opened the gifts with us
Work took you away
Your loneliness was mine
What I wouldn't do
To give you back the time lost by now
I learned to love like you
This life, risking all of myself
I learned your courage
And I understood the shy insanity
Of your unique being because
You're half of my journey for myself
It's like this
Always more
I look like you
In your smiles,
and in your tears
I learned your courage
And I learned how to love and grow
In life, risking all of myself
And I shared this journey with you
Me with you
I learned my own courage
I wake myself up in this house of mine
I think of when you went away
And even now, what I wouldn't do
To give us back the time lost by now
