CONCERTS COME AND CONCERTS GO.
SOME EVEN COST A LOT OF DOUGH.
*
SOME ARE GREAT AND SOME ARE WRONG.
SOME ARE WEAK AND SOME ARE STRONG.
*
BUT THE VERY BEST ONE BY FAR
FOR THIS ONE NIGHT …A SHINING STAR.
*
ON SEPTEMBER 5TH I HEARD THEM SING
WITH AN ORCHESTRA AND ALL THEY BRING.
*
THEY STOOD THERE, ALL THREE, HANDSOME AND YOUNG,
PRIDE IN THEIR EYES, MUSIC ON THEIR TONGUE.
*
WHEN THEY BEGAN I STARTED TO WEEP
I’VE HAD VISIONS OF THIS IN MY SLEEP.
*
I SNIFFED A LOT AND LOOKED AROUND.
ALL WERE MOVED BY THAT WONDROUS SOUND.
*
IT CAME FROM IGNAZIO’S HEART AND PIERO’S SOUL
BEAUTIFUL GIANLUCA HAD A GOAL.
*
HE WANTED TO PROVE HE LOVED US BACK
BY GIVING US WHAT WE ALL LACK.
*
ITALIAN WORDS, AT AN ITALIAN PACE,
IN AN ENGLISH SONG SO FULL OF GRACE.
*
WE ALL STARED IN DISBELIEF
TIME MOVED QUICKLY, THE SHOW SEEMED BRIEF.
*
THERE NEVER WAS A TRIO WHO
COULD MESMERIZE LIKE THESE GUYS DO.
*
IT REALLY HAPPENED, THIS QUEST WE SHARED
HOW COULD ANY OF US HAVE BEEN PREPARED.
*
TO HEAR WHAT WE HEARD, TO SEE WHAT WE SAW
IMPOSSIBLY WITHOUT A FLAW.
*
THEY WON MY HEART OH, A WHILE AGO.
AND ON THIS NIGHT I LOVED THEM SO.
*
THOSE ANGLES SANG TO US, THEY SANG TO ME!
MY BODY SHOOK, I KNEW ALL COULD SEE.
*
THE PASSION I HAVE FOR THESE THREE GUYS
TOOK NO ONE THERE BY SURPRISE.
*
MOTHERS, DAUGHTERS, FATHERS TOO
ALL HAD A LOOK AS IF THEY KNEW.
*
THESE LADS WILL GROW UP TO BE MEN
WE HEAR THEM NOW, WE’LL HEAR THEM THEN.
*
BUT ON THIS NIGHT, OH, THIS NIGHT OF JOY!
I SAW HEAVEN THERE AND NOT A BOY.
