Annual Valentine Song Festival! Music From Cinema Paradiso

 Beautiful music, but oh, so sad. I have read the plot and looked at many segments, but the story line is nearly as sad as Old Yeller, and I try not to watch movies that break your heart. But The Music Is Good!  Here is Cormac Thompson performing the love theme, and that is where we became acquainted with this widely acclaimed movie

Lyrics translated to English:

If one day you could see
Through my eyes the beauty
And happiness I see in you.
When I see your eyes
The life I dream of can come true
Or is it just a dream?
Are you near?

If one day you could see
With my heart the yearning.
Then you would know just how I feel
When I feel your heart
And when I drink you in my arms
And breathe you with my soul
We are one
Remember.

If one day you could see
With my soul the future.
Time would stand still, then
Disappear.

This is all I ask
Just like a film that fades from view.
My paradise was you
So I dream
Remember
