Almost blue...but very Chet

Tanto tempo fa...e lontano da qui...la bellezza ti viveva sulla faccia...nello sguardo minaccioso...tra le mani tribolate...tanto tempo fa...e lontano da qui...lo splendore e la decenza...la decadenza...come premonizione...nella tua valigetta...nastri e spartiti...nella tua valigetta...la colla per la dentiera...stasera hai un concerto..vammi in farmacia...a prendere della pasta adesiva...please...all'angolo americano...c'eri tu e Diane...a rifarsi le unghia...c'eri tu...e Diane...tu...con una foto tra le mani...tribolate...e cantavi..."Far, far away a long, long time ago"..tra le lacrime...che cadono via dalle rughe..."Far, far away a long, long time ago"... Almost blue Almost blue Almost doing things we used to do There's a girl here and she's almost you Almost all the things that your eyes once promised I see in hers too Now your eyes are red from crying Almost blue Flirting with this disaster became me It named me as the fool who only aimed to be Almost blue It's almost touching it will almost do There's a part of me that's always true...always Not all good things come to an end now it is only a chosen few I've seen such an unhappy couple Almost me Almost you Almost blue
