Com'ero vecchio - Salvatore Adamo

Dio com’ero vecchio quando non ceri tu Nemmeno nello specchio mi riconosco più

Dio com’ero grigio senza i tuoi colori

E successo quel prodigio che si chiama amore

Seduto in ufficio col colletto inamidato

Dietro le sbarre del mio bel vestito rigato

Respiravo appena e per poco ci sarei rimasto

Ma tu sei venuta un sorriso e mi ai liberato

Dio com’ero vecchio quando non ceri tu Nemmeno nello specchio mi riconosco più

Dio com’ero grigio senza i tuoi colori

E successo quel prodigio che si chiama amore

Mi facevo piccolo per non disturbare la gente

Lasciavo lo spazio a chi si credeva importante

E tutti i miei sogni gli schieravo nella mia mente

Ma oggi mi ami e di colpo mi sento un gigante

Dio com’ero vecchio quando non ceri tu Nemmeno nello specchio mi riconosco più

Dio com’ero grigio senza i tuoi colori

E successo quel prodigio che si chiama amore

Dio com’ero vecchio quando non ceri tu Nemmeno nello specchio mi riconosco più

Dio com’ero grigio senza i tuoi colori

E successo quel prodigio che si chiama amore

God, how old I was when you don't look. I don't even recognize myself in the mirror anymore

God, how gray I was without your colors

That prodigy called love has happened

Sitting in the office with a starched collar

Behind the bars of my beautiful striped dress

I barely breathed and I would almost stay there

But you came with a smile and set me free

God, how old I was when you don't look. I don't even recognize myself in the mirror anymore

God, how gray I was without your colors

That prodigy called love has happened

I made myself small so as not to disturb people

I left space for those who believed themselves important

And all my dreams lined up in my mind

But today you love me and suddenly I feel like a giant

God, how old I was when you don't look. I don't even recognize myself in the mirror anymore

God, how gray I was without your colors

That prodigy called love has happened

God, how old I was when you don't look. I don't even recognize myself in the mirror anymore

God, how gray I was without your colors

That prodigy called love has happened
