I've come back to the city
The one that saw me be born
Because you're not here anymore
_____
Nobody needs to tell me that
_____
The leaves in our park no longer wait for autumn
_____
When you were here they weren't like that
At least I never saw them
It didn't believe in the impossible
_____
No matter how many streets I walk I get nowhere
I found out while wandering
_____
that having a destiny is more a motive than the where and when
_____
How could I take so long to realize something that's so clear
_____
Only where you are is my home
_____
And the light of your gaze is my zip code
_____
Only where you are is my home
It feels like it was yesterday
_____
And more than 20 years have already gone by
But I still remember well
and the honey of your lips
_____
But you, but you're not here anymore
_____
And I've heard that people in the neighborhood say
_____
that they don't think you'll come back anymore
They say that you keep painting
_____
that portrait from a memory
_____
that you made of me when we were little with a 6 and a 4
_____
And later at the university
_____
you asked me to pose again
_____
You put some pearl earrings and your shoes on me
_____
We couldn't stop laughing and I was dying of embarrassment
_____
Even though I know I'd have done
_____
anything for you no matter how crazy and absurd it seemed
_____
because it was in that instant, that moment when I realized
_____
Only where you are is my home
_____
And the light of your gaze is my zip code
_____
Only where you are is my home
_____
Only where you are
_____
and everything ended before it began
_____
since you can't cover the sun with one finger
because in this one I know
_____
that you've come only to fly
_____
Only where you are is my home
_____
And the light of your gaze is my zip code
_____
Only where you are is my home
