I am happy I’ve seen him.
Even if all the wishes in the world were mine,
I could not have imagined a face as perfectly handsome as Gianluca’s.
I am so grateful I know who he is.
Even if magic was alive and real,
I would not have known it was Ignazio
I wanted in my dreams at night.
I am thrilled he hopped in a cab with Loretta, Mary B. and I.
Even if I had a note from everyone who has ever known him,
I would not have believed the unspoiled graciousness of Piero.
I am so fortunate to have heard them.
Even if all the angels in heaven had formed a choir,
I would not have heard a sound as exquisitely beautiful
as the music of the three young men who stole our hearts.
