MAIS DO QUE IMAGINEI by Catedral, new words by Joel Sattler

New title: “No Lover But the Moon” 

Fifth draft:

When we were young love was a star

Shiny and bright

Then it fell and it fell far

And now nothing is left but night

No lover but the moon

If I wait for morning and the sun to rise

Will there still be total darkness in my eyes

Wonder if she knew 

And I thought we were solid as a rock

But then one day the door’s left unlocked

No lover but the moon

She turned away and said this is not love

Maybe some day she will know just what was

There was a day, remember when I could see the light

Was a day when I thought everything was right

May it come back soon

But till then I guess I’ll just have to wait

And trust to the simple twisting of fate

No lover but the moon

She turned away and said this is not love

Maybe some day she will know just what was 

There was a day, remember when I could see the light

Was a day when I thought everything was right

May it come back soon

But till then I guess I’ll just have to wait

And trust to the simple twisting of fate

No lover but the moon

She turned away and said this is not love

Maybe some day she will know just what was

Third draft:

New title: “I Lived to Love Your Love”

They say your heart is like a fool 

And it might fall

When you left it then came true

And now vainly I find that all 

I wanted was your love

If I say direction was not all I lose 

If I say my heart is still hurting and confused

Would you find me now

And so everything minds me of you yet

And there in no way can I forget

So come to me my love

You’re more than I ever knew there was

More than my imagination of your love

And if I could only feel the heat of your love again

All you’d have to do is look into my eyes

To see I’m at rope’s end

And today all I know is I need you

But I knew I’d have to let you go free too

I lived to love your love

You are more than I ever knew was

More than my imagination of this love

Original lyrics in Portuguese:

Quis enganar meu coração

Mas foi em vão,

a verdade vem e não dá

E eu só penso em te encontrar

Eu quero

o teu amor

Se eu disser que perdi a direção

Se eu disser que machuquei meu coração

Quando disse não

tudo que eu vejo só lembra você

E é impossível te esquecer

Por isso,

vem amor

De tudo que vivi você foi mais

Do que eu imaginei ser capaz

Se eu tiver todo o teu calor outra vez aqui

Olhe bem para os meus olhos pra sentir,

quanto eu sofri

Hoje eu sei que preciso de você

E não dá pra imaginar te perder

Eu amo

o teu amor

De tudo que vivi você foi mais

Do que eu imaginei ser capaz 

Se eu tiver todo o teu calor outra vez aqui

Olhe bem para os meus olhos pra sentir,

quanto eu sofri

Hoje eu sei que preciso de você

E não dá pra imaginar te perder

Eu amo

o teu amor

De tudo que vivi você foi mais

Do que eu imaginei ser capaz
