Uma Noite Para Comemorar

This is just a night to share
anything we can still keep inside
a safe place
To run to
When nothing feels right
And it’s all out in the open
Not knowing what to do
This is a night to celebrate
Anything we can still save from time
A place for us
to linger
When nothing makes sense
And you feel more lost
and you long for a friend's embrace
This is just a night for me to get back
at what life has done without a warning
it’s piled up in photographs
in distances and longings
In a pain that never ends
and spills over the days
This is a night to remind me
That there’s something infinite like the sky
A smile, a hug
That transcends time
and to be scared like before
waking up in the middle of the night
needing a lap

This is just a night to share
Anything we can still keep inside
A safe place
To run to
When nothing feels right
And it’s all out in the open
Not knowing what to do
This is a night to celebrate
Anything we can still save from time
A place for us
to linger
When nothing makes sense
And you feel more lost
and you long for a friend's embrace
