History and Origin

Brightman first popularized the song as a duet with Argentine tenor José Cura on her 1997 album Timeless (known as Time to Say Goodbye in the U.S.).

Featured on the La Luna concert DVD, often cited for the powerful blend of their voices.

Because Brightman’s version with José Cura incorporates Italian—a language closely related to Spanish—the song has a natural resonance with Hispanic audiences. In many subtitle versions, the Italian sections (e.g., "Se non sei con me, mi sembra grigia la città" ) are translated alongside the English parts to help viewers understand the full narrative of the duet.

Found on the Time to Say Goodbye album.

The song was originally written and performed by the Italian disco duo La Bionda in 1978.

Brightman also recorded a solo version used as the theme for the Japanese film Amalfi: Rewards of the Goddess . There For Me - Sarah Brightman
