Today I learned to kiss you with my eyes,

to caress you with my soul; 

to make your sky the song of the Goldfinch;

that love that at night I dreamt of

without knowing that I loved you

 

Today I learned, in the magic of your dreams,

to be fertile ground and to see you with my hands

 

Today I learned to feel the warmth of your kisses

and in your words of encouragement

I learned to believe...

 

Today I learned, to know God on your lips 

and in the chorus of our song

I learned to say I love you.

 

Today I learned, I learned why I love you
