Verse 1
I close my eyes and think of her
The sweet scent of her skin
It's a voice inside that is carrying me
Where the sun is born
Or: Where the sun rises
The words are alone
But if they're written everything can change
Without more fear I want to shout to you
This great love
Prechorus 1
Love, only love is what I feel
Tell me why when I think, I only think of you
Tell me why when I see, I only see you
Tell me why when I believe, I only believe in you
Chorus 1
Great love
Tell me that never
That you'll never leave me
Tell me who you are
Breath of my days of love
Tell me that you know
That you'll only choose me
Now you know
You are my one great love
Or: You're my only great love
Verse 2
Springs will pass
Cold and stupid days to remember
Cursed nights lost to not sleeping
Others to making love
Love, you're my love
Forever, for me
Prechorus 2
Tell me why when I think, I only think of you
Tell me why when I love, I love only you
Tell me why when I live, I live only in you
Great love
Chorus 2
Tell me that never
That you'll never leave me
Tell me who you are
Breath of my days of love
Tell me that you know
That I would never be wrong
Tell me that you're
That you're my one great love
That you're my one great love

SONG MEANING

Grande Amore is Il Volo’s sky-high love anthem that feels like flinging open the shutters on a sun-drenched Italian morning and letting your heart sing. The narrator shuts his eyes, inhales the sweet scent of his beloved’s skin, and follows an inner voice to the place “where the sun is born.” He realizes that words are only words until they are written, so he tosses fear aside and shouts out the only truth that matters: this is a great love, pure and all-consuming.

What follows is a passionate call-and-response with the woman who has captured his entire world. He peppers her with questions—Why do I think, see, believe, love, and even live only through you?—and pleads for promises that she will never leave and will always choose him. Seasons will pass, cold days and sleepless nights will come, but every moment is bearable if they face it together. By the final chorus the song swells into a cinematic embrace, celebrating devotion so vast it becomes both a prayer and a triumphant declaration: you are my one and only great love.
