Mio Grillino

There's just something about him,

That nervous little man in tweed,

He makes me feel like new,

I find myself addicted,

To a drug called mio grillino.

He may have hurt me,

But he will always do his best,

And that's fine by me,

'Cause I can't remember what he did,

My eyes only see mio grillino.

It doesn't matter where we are,

He dances with me,

All through life's hardships,

I turn to him for guidance,

I can't live without mio grillino.

Sometimes we experience strange things,

Dreams and nightmares of another life,

There's someone else that we can't remember,

It was someone we both loved as one,

I doubt I loved him as much as mio grillino.

It all makes sense now,

This is not the life that was meant for us,

We hail from another world,

Where happily-ever-afters roam,

I just pray mine is with mio grillino.

That's not important right now,

Our son is without us both,

How stupid I was to cast my boy out,

He was right all along,

I should've listened to mio grillino.

He looks at me kindly,

Those eyes are filled with tears,

There's not a trace of an "I told you so,"

He sees how guilty I am,

All I want to do is hold mio grillino.

I've not told him yet,

That I'm close to hunting down our boy,

I want to surprise him,

My heart will soar,

Once Pinocchio is reunited with me and nostro grillino.
