Song To M

To the tune of Pictures of You, by The Cure

M, you are a name,
You are a quiet invitation,
Briefest braille for the blind
Start of a simple conversation,

Title on the cover page
Without any explanation,
For now, for the moment
You’re the whole presentation.

I want to remember you:
I want to remember you.


From the first frame of the trailer
For unexpected chapters,
Uncharted adventures,
Untold ever afters,

From the first note of the measure
Of music I don’t know
But want to hear more of,
La canto da capo,

You’re a language that’s new to me
From the beginning,
A song to repeat
For its gradual meaning,

And somewhere in the melody
I want to learn you
And find in you more than
A tune that I turn to.

I want to remember you:
I want to remember you


From the first word,
I want to memorize you,
Learn every line of you,
Look into your eyes

And discover you.  M,
You are a name so far,
But I’ve only started
To see who you are,

And I want to see more,
I want to speak you and sing you
And know you by heart,
You and everything in you.

Somewhere in this fantasy
We’ll sing our songs together
And hope that the harmony
Plays on forever,

And if you’ll indulge me
I promise you this,
I’ll keep every secret
And hold every kiss

Between us, and even if
Things never change
And we remain strangers
You’ll always be more than a name

I want to remember you
And know you are more than name.
I want to remember you
And know you, know you are more than a name.

Just say the word, and
I’ll stay here as long
As you keep on singing
And there is a song

Between us, and even if
Things start to change
And we become strangers
I’ll always remember your name.
