about

This style of this song is somewhat new for us. To express a man's vulnerability to his illusions of romance; an idealist confounded by life’s realities...his secret self, exposed. Philip's mellifluous voice perfectly blends the conflicting feelings of passion and angst here, surrounded in a pseudo-Brazilian musical background.

lyrics

Love’s Lost in Translation
(Chieli Minucci/Philip Hamilton)

Every time we try to say goodbye
I wonder why (but I know)
I can see it anytime you smile
There’s a place for me
clear across the sea,
Those recent memories
Can we keep them alive?

It’s the kind of love we made
Some call me crazy
But all I want, is to play with you,
lay with you, to say to you,
what’s on my mind

Even though we know it’s time to go,
there’s a ray of hope
(and you know)
How I always want to stay a while,
I can see in your smile,
it’s the same, when you whisper my name

It’s a symphony, you sing to me,
(only me)
In the heat of the night

You call me crazy
How I love to live a life that’s full of promises
and dreams of love far away
A solitaire that’s hard to bear all alone

Where lovers speak a language all their own
all their own

It’s no fantasy
This is real to me
All my own

Want you, miss you, need you, want you
Need you, want to hold you, miss you, need you

To lay with you, say to you what’s on my mind
what’s on my mind

Everywhere I look , every place I go
When I’m by myself I can see your face

When I lay in bed the nights so lonely
without your love

When I close my eyes, when I dream of you
when you fall asleep, when I kiss your face at night

Everyone I see reminds me of you, and what you’ve done to me

This lonely heart
will find a way
to love

(Love will find a way)

Don’t ever say you’ll go away
I want you to stay

I’ve gone away, but never away from you
Don’t you ever doubt it

Don’t ever say you’ll go away
I want you to stay

Another way to spend the whole day, with you
singing all about it
