If time is all I have - James Blunt

La tematica e il senso di questa canzone sono lampanti, ma il bello è che non scade nel banale, in qualcosa di messo lì tanto per, è una canzone semplice e allo stesso tempo molto intensa.
"Dì il mio nome" c'è così tanto in come l'altro ci chiama per nome.

When you wake up
Turn the radio on
And you’ll hear this simple song

That I made up
That I made up for you

When you’re driving
Turn the radio up
Cause I can’t sing loud enough
Hard these days
To get my message through

If time is all I have
I’ll waste it all on you

Each day I’ll turn it back
It’s what the broken-hearted do
I’m tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake

When you marry
And you look around
I’ll be somewhere in that crowd
Torn up, that it isn’t me

When you’re older
The memories fade
But I know I’ll still feel the same
For as long as I live

But if time is all I have
I’ll waste it all on you

Each day I’ll turn it back
It’s what the broken-hearted do
I’m tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake

Won’t you say my name, one time
Please just say my name

But if time is all I have
I’ll waste it all on you
Each day I’ll turn it back
It’s what the broken-hearted do
I’m tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake

If time is all I have
I’ll waste it all on you

Each day I’ll turn it back
It’s what the broken-hearted do
I’m tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake

Won’t you say my name
When the song is over

Goodbye my lover - James Blunt

Goodbye to you (Ita)

Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me. (X2)

I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me. (x2)

And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bear my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
