Lyrics
Dove vai stanotte…
when the lights go down…
VERSE 1
There’s a shadow in the evening
where your laughter used to be
Like a song that keeps on playing
in a quiet memory
You would turn and say my name
like it meant a thousand things
Now the silence feels much louder
than the words it used to bring
PRE-CHORUS
E dimmi ancora…
se mi pensi come io…
CHORUS
Dove vai stanotte…
when you’re not with me…
Dove vai nel cuore…
where I cannot see…
If I follow through the darkness
will you turn… or let me go…
Dove vai stanotte…
I still need to know…
VERSE 2
Every street we used to walk on
still remembers how we moved
Like the night was made for dreaming
and we had nothing to lose
Now I’m standing where we left it
with the echo of your voice
And I wonder if you hear me
or you’ve made another choice
PRE-CHORUS
E dimmi adesso…
se ritorni mai da me…
CHORUS
Dove vai stanotte…
when you’re not with me…
Dove vai nel sogno…
that I used to see…
If I reach across the distance
will you stay… or let me go…
Dove vai stanotte…
I still need to know…
BRIDGE
Maybe love is just a moment
that we never learn to hold
But it stays inside forever
even when it turns to gold
FINAL CHORUS
Dove vai stanotte…
when the night is falling down…
Dove vai davvero…
when I’m not around…
If I call you one more time
will you answer… yes or no…
Dove vai stanotte…
I still need to know…
OUTRO
Dove vai…
stanotte…
