A Praça

The Square
Today I woke up missing you
I kissed that picture you gave me
Sat on that bench in the little square just because
It's where our love began
I felt like all the birds recognized me
And they understood all my loneliness
They became so sad, and even fell silent
So then I wrote this song
The same square, the same bench
The same flowers, the same garden
Everything is the same, but I'm sad
Because I don't have you near me
I kissed that beautiful tree where
With my pocket knife, I carved a heart
I wrote in the heart my name next to yours
To be your great love, then I swore
The guard is still the same one who once caught me
Stealing a yellow rose for you
There's still a swing, a seesaw, my love
Children who never stop running
The same square, the same bench
The same flowers, the same garden
Everything is the same, but I'm sad
Because I don't have you near me
That good old popcorn man was the one who saw
When, embarrassed, I told him about our courtship
He's still the same ice cream man who witnessed
Our first kiss
We keep growing, time keeps passing
And we never forget the happiness we found
I'll always remember our bench in the square
It's where our love began
The same square, the same bench
The same flowers, the same garden
Everything is the same, but I'm sad
Because I don't have you near me
Because I don't have you near me
Because I don't have you near me
