A Room in Rome - Alvin Curran, Giancarlo Schiaffini, AlÍpio C Neto & Sergio Armaroli

You don't know it but I've made my mind up You'll wind up in my arms First I have to break down your resistance to my charms Yes, darling, I know it won't be easy But I won't rest until I find a way Everybody knows that Rome wasn't built in a day How I'll make it happen I'm not certain I'm workin? on a plan and when I get it tight You'll believe I'm your man You don't know it yet but you'll surrender When I'll make my play But everybody knows that Rome wasn't built in a day I'll offer you protection Twenty-four hour love and affection But it'll take time to make it right Just look at what the pharaoh did When he build his pyramid Everybody knows that didn't spring up over night There'll be a celebration and a silver band will play But everybody knows that Rome wasn't built in a day Rome wasn't built in a day

In a darkened room Beyond the reach of God's faith Lies the wounded The shattered remains of love betrayed And the innocence Of a child is bought and sold In the name of the damned The rage of the angels left silent and cold Forgive me please for I know not what I do How can I keep inside the hurt I know is true Tell me when the kiss Of love becomes a lie That bears the scar of sin too deep To hide behind this fear Of running unto you Please let there be light In a darkened room All the precious times Have been put to rest again And the smile of the dawn Brings tainted lust singing my requiem Can I face the day When I'm tortured in my trust And watch it crystalize While my salvation it crumbles to dust Why can't I steer the ship before it hits the storm I've fallen to the sea but still I swim for shore Tell me when the kiss Of love becomes a lie That bears the scar of sin too deep To hide behind this fear Of running unto you Please let there be light In a darkened room

You talk too much when you're nervous I listen just to observe it A girl like you is deserving Of someone to love your courage To see your shape in the morning Impossible not to adore it For months I tried to ignore it I'm sorry for me to intrude But I can't fight it anymore And I promise by the time this is through You'll have been way way happier before And you stayed down You had me when I was face down To see your heart in a cold room I wish someone would have told you But you stayed down You had when I was face down I wish someone have told you You put your heart in the cold room And you look pretty in the sundress that you wore To your best friends wedding in july You look pretty when you undress And you were so embarrassed, she was mad it was white But you're golden Color of the pack that she's smoking She can't get back what was stolen It's what everybody else sees What everybody else sees But you're coping, Constantly unfolding It's clear what she doesn't notice Is what everybody else sees What everybody else. And you stayed down You had me when I was face down To see your heart in a cold room I wish someone would have told you But you stayed down You had when I was face down I wish someone have told you You put your heart in the cold room And you stayed down And you stayed down Yeah you even had me when I was face down And you stayed down You had me when I was face down Put your heart in the cold room I wish somebody would have told you

They say counting stars You play the part of a soul missin' home Were you counting stars? 'Cause you packed your bags, had your heart set to roam When you left for Georgia Said your friends didn't want ya But I swear I do, say, "What we are?" Time's not a problem Do you think we were moving too fast? Guess we weren't meant to last I can't move on from that and I don't have the words So I'll keep counting stars inside of my room Inside my room (In my room)
