Domenica Sera - Mina

Don’t ask me to love you

I’d hate to refuse you.

I know you would leave me

I know I would lose you.

While we‘re close together

It’s now or it’s never

It can’t be forever

Don’t ask me to love you.

The hurt of the past love

Made his love my last love.

So take and caress me

Don’t ask to possess me.

Don’t let your heart trust me

It treats you unjustly

But that’s how it must be

Don’t ask me to love you.

That Shangri-la feeling

You dance on the ceiling

The wonderful playdream

You wish they would stay dreams

The nightmare of learning

He won’t be returning

The torch is still burning

Don’t ask me to love you.

I‘ve had many lovers

They seemed to adore me

They had different covers

But told the same story

A make-believe journey

That ended in sorrow

Don’t ask for tomorrow

Don’t ask me to love you.
