Llévame Al Cielo
A.B. Quintanilla III Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No conocía la soledad
Hoy solamente tengo tristeza y miedo
No tengo fuerzas para aceptar
Me sobran las lágrimas para llorar
Ahora yo vivo tan sólo de tu recuerdo
Tan injusto ha sido el cielo
Por no llevarme a mí
Por engañarme así
Yo no sabía lo que es el dolor
Entre nosotros todo era amor
En nuestra casa eras la luz del día
Cada mañana estabas aquí
Cada momento yo era feliz
Nunca pensaba que esto se acabaría
Tan injusto a sido el cielo
Por no llevarme a mi
Tan injusta fue la vida
Por engañarme así
Llévame al cielo, tiempo
Dejame verla como la recuerdo en mis sueños, tiempo
No me separes ni un sólo momento, cielo, tiempo
Todo daría por verla de nuevo
Te pido, tiempo
Tu la arrancaste y te la llevaste de mí
Yo no sabia lo que era sufrir
No conocia la soledad
Hoy solamente tengo tristeza y miedo
No tengo fuerzas para aceptar
Me sobran lágrimas para llorar
Ahora yo vivo tan sólo de tu recuerdo
Tan injusto ha sido el cielo
Por no llevarme a mí
Tan injusta fué la vida
Por engañarme así
Tan injusto ha sido el cielo
Por no llevarme a mí
Tan injusta fué la vida
Por engañarme así
Tan injusto ha sido el cielo
Por no llevarme a mí
Tan injusta fué la vida
Por engañarme así
