1a canzone al giorno

Sulla Gazzetta dello Sport di ieri c'era un articolo su George Michael e il suo ultimo tour che a settembre è passato anche da Firenze. Questo nuovo percorso musicale di George prevede l'utilizzo dell'orchestra e un arrangiamento dei suoi successi decisamente meno... pop. E leggendo mi è venuta in mente una canzone tratta da "Faith", il suo primo album da solista del 1987, che all'inizio non mi aveva entusiasmato e poi nel tempo avevo apprezzato sempre di più. Il titolo è "Father figure" e come per magia è la canzone di oggi!!

Father figure (George Michael)

That's all I wanted 
something special, something sacred- 
in your eyes 
for just one moment 
to be bold and naked 
at your side 

Sometimes I think that you'll never 
understand me 
maybe this time is forever 
say it can be 

that's all you wanted 
something special, someone sacred- 
in your life 
just for one moment 
to be warm and naked 
at my side 

Sometimes I think that you'll never 
understand me 
but something tells me together 
we'd be happy 
 
(baby) 
I will be your father figure 
(oh baby) 
put your tiny hand in mine 
(I'd love to) 
I will be you preacher teacher 
(be your daddy) 
anything you have in mind 
(it would make me) 
I will be you father figure 
(very happy) 
I have had enough of crime 
(please let me) 
I will be the one who loves you- 
until the end of time 

that's all I wanted 
bu sometimes love can be mistaken 
for a crime 
that's all I wanted 
just to see my baby's 
blue eyed shine 
this time I think that my lover 
understands me 
if we have faith in each other 
then we can be 
strong 

(baby) 
I will be your father figure 
(oh baby) 
put your tiny hand in mine 
(I'd love to) 
I will be you preacher teacher 
(be your daddy) 
anything you have in mind 
(it would make me) 
I will be you father figure 
(very happy) 
I have had enough of crime 
(please let me) 
I will be the one who loves you- 
until the end of time

if you are the desert 
I'll be the sea 
if you ever hunger 
hunger for me 
whatever you ask for 
that's what I'll be... 

so when you remember the ones who have lied 
who said that they cared 
but then laughed when you cried 
beautiful darling 
don't think of me 

because all I ever wanted 
it's in you eyes baby, baby 
and love can't lie, no... 
(greet me with the eyes of a child) 
my love is always telling me so... 
(heaven is a kiss and a smile) 
just hold on, hold on 
I won't let you go, my baby 

(baby) 
I will be your father figure 
(oh baby) 
put your tiny hand in mine 
(I'd love to) 
I will be you preacher teacher 
(be your daddy) 
anything you have in mind 
(it would make me) 
I will be you father figure 
(very happy) 
I have had enough of crime 
(please let me) 
I will be the one who loves you- 
until the end of time

I will be your father 
I will be your preacher 
I'll be your daddy 
I will be the one who loves you 
until the end of time
