Rezo
Carlos Ponce Lyrics
Yo sé que aún no me conoces
Que soy un poco tímido al buscarte
Que alguna vez me viste
y hasta me sonreíste
Pero tal vez fue sólo un gesto amable
Yo sueño con que alguna vez me quieras
Con descubrir de cerca tu mirada
Que sientas mi pasión
Que salgas al balcón
La noche que te lleve serenata
Por eso, rezo
Que tú de mí te enamores
Rezo
y que mi vida decores
Con tus gustos, tus colores
Rezo
Hoy rezo
Para que ya no sea un sueño
Rezo
O algún ridículo empeño
Por poderte dar un beso
Rezo
Yo sufro cuando no sé que decirte
Cuando de mí se esconden las palabras
y espero con paciencia
Que adviertas mi presencia
y pido a Dios que pronto tú me ames
Por eso, rezo
Que tú de mí te enamores
Rezo
y que mi vida decores
Con tus gustos, tus colores
Rezo
Hoy rezo
Para que ya no sea un sueño
Rezo
O algún ridículo empeño
Por poderte dar un beso
Rezo
Por eso, rezo
Que tú de mí te enamores
Rezo
y que mi vida decores
Con tus gustos, tus colores
Rezo
Hoy rezo
Para que ya no sea un sueño
Rezo
O algún ridículo empeño
Por poderte dar un beso
Rezo
Pido por tu amor
Muero por probar tu piel
Ruego de rodillas
Prometo serte fiel y por eso
Sólo rezo
Quiero hacerte mía
Oh, y entregarme a ti
Mírame a los ojos
Vas a ver lo que es vivir
Oh, sólo rezo, sólo rezo
Por poderte dar un beso

Con esa canción hace 21 años hicimos el amor por primeraves con la que hoy es mi esposa y la madre de mis 4 hijos.
Danny Arvizu
En el año 1999 Dedique esta cancion a una mujer hermosa en todos los sentidos fue el inicio de una aventura juntos de cada momento, cada segundo, luche tanto por que ella me amara, porque se diera cuenta de que mi amor era sincero y transparente hacia a ella, hoy en dia seguimos en la aventura de la vida pero mas fuertes que nunca, dios nos dio la dicha de tomarnos de la mano y asi despues tomar la de dos angeles hermosos que son mis hijos. y seguiremos con nuestra aventura hasta que la muerte nos separe, para ese entonces tendremos un libro escrito con infinidad de cosas maravillosas escritas.
