Era outono e a tristeza
Caía naqueles lados
Como se dobrassem sinos
Com um toque de finados
O mundo chamava Alice
E ela sem vontade de ir
Tão cedo para estar amarga
Mais ainda para cair
Talvez uma só palavra
Talvez um só motivo
Pudesse mudar a agulha
Dum coração à deriva
Mas o carteiro passou
Nada deixou, nada disse
E o recado não chegou
Ninguém escreve à Alice
Ninguém escreve à Alice
Ninguém, ninguém, ninguém
Ninguém, ninguém, ninguém escreve à Alice
Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by
If you smile
Through your fears and sorrows
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the love come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time
You must keep on smiling
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll see that life is still worth while
If you just smile
Just before our love got lost, you said
"I am as constant as a northern star"
And I said, "Constantly in darkness?
Where's that at?
If you want me I'll be at the bar"
On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh, Canada
Oh Canada
With your face sketched on it twice
You're in my blood like holy wine
Taste so bitter but it tastes so sweet
I'll make a drink a case of you, darling
And I would, I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
Oh, I'm a lonely painter
I lived in a box of paints
I'm frightened, I'm frightened by the devil
But I'm drawn to those one's that ain't afraid, that ain't afraid
I remember that time you told me, you said
"Love was touching souls"
Surely you touched mine
'Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time
You're in my blood like holy wine
Taste so bitter but it tastes so sweet, but it tastes so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you
I could drink a case of you
And still be on my feet
Still be on my feet
You're in my blood like holy wine
Taste so bitter but it tastes so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you
I could drink a case of you
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
Até breve, obrigado
Obrigado!
