Besame Mucho
Bob Eberly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bésame, bésame mucho
Each time I cling to your kiss, I hear music divine
Bésame mucho
Hold me my darling and say that you'll always be mine
This joy is something new
My arms enfolding you
Never knew this thrill before
Whoever thought I'd be
Holding you close to me
Whispering "It's you I adore"
Dearest one
If you should leave me
Each little dream would take wing, and my life would be through
Bésame mucho
Love me forever and make all my dreams come true

Bésame, bésame mucho
Each time I cling to your kiss, I hear music divine
Bésame mucho
Hold me my darling and say that you'll always be mine
This joy is something new
My arms enfolding you
Never knew this thrill before
Whoever thought I'd be
Holding you close to me
Whispering "It's you I adore"
My dearest one
If you should leave me
Each little dream would take wing, and my life would be through




Bésame mucho
Love me forever and say that you'll always be mine

Thank you, Jan. I'm watching--and enjoying--your Nick Hilscher interview now.

@janeberleschabergjaneberle8901

@the78prof I love the way he and Kitty compliment each other so well. Sounds like you're definitely into the big bands. Perhaps you'll tune into my weekly radio show, Swing Museum on ksav.org. It's all big band, standards and jazz, Thursdays at 7 PM, east and west coast. Take care. Jan

@xevcosmo

He and Ray are icons and the voices of the forties.
