Venerdì scorso, all'età di 30 anni ci ha lasciato Lorenzo, il protagonista della toccante storia a cui si è ispirato il film "L'olio di Lorenzo" e a cui Phil Collins ha dedicato questa canzone

Cantata da: Phil Collins

Once upon a time I made a lion roar - he was sleeping in the sunbeams on the old zoo floor. I had gone to see the park where my papa used to play, it's called called Villa Borghese and it's on the way to East Africa. Down on Grand Comoro Island, where I grew past four, I could swim and fish and snorkel on the ocean floor, and the wind laughed, and the wind laughed through the trees as if to say, here's a child who'll want the world to go his way in East Africa, in East Africa. Suddenly for me the world turned upside down - far from my friends the lions and the dolphins came this awful sound. Dark shadows, sounds of thunder raging over me, came this monster called 'A-dre-no-leu-ko-dys-tro-phy' Where's my East Africa? Well they said, they said, they said (the ones who know it all) they said from now on for you there will be no more standing tall, so I took my parents' hands, I lifted my head to say I'll just have to be a hero, there's no other way! Back to East Africa Back to East Africa Back to East Africa Come with me I'm going back, going back to East Africa.

Il 21 settembre io e Arancione abbiamo festeggiato i 5 anni insieme.

Non ne ho parlato quando era ora perché preso da un periodo di lieve depressione per vari motivi di cui non sto ora a spiegare.

Così scrivo ora queste poche righe per direle

Jeg elsker deg

Chorus:
Baby if you've got to go away
I don't think
I can take the pain
Won't you stay another day
Oh, don't leave me alone like this
Don't say it's the final kiss
Won't you stay another day

Don't you know
We've come too far now
Just to go
And try to throw it all away
Thought I heard you say
You love me
That your love was gonna be here to stay
I've only just begun
To know you
All I can say is
Won't you stay just one more day

Chorus:
Baby if you've got to go away
I don't think
I can take the pain
Won't you stay another day
Oh, don't leave me alone like this
Don't say it's the final kiss
Won't you stay another day

I touch your face while you are sleeping
And hold your hand
Don't understend what's going on
Good times we had return
To haunt me
Though it's for you
All that I do seem to be wrong

Chorus:
Baby if you've got to go away
I don't think
I can take the pain
Won't you stay another day
Oh, don't leave me alone like this
Don't say it's the final kiss
Won't you stay another day
