Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez
Bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo de perderte, perderte otra vez
Bésame
Bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez
Que tengo miedo de perderte, perderte otra vez
Quiero tenerte muy cerca
Mirar bien tus ojos
Verte junto a mí
Piensa que tal vez mañana
yo ya estaré lejos, muy lejos de ti
Bésame... mucho
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez
Bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo de perderte, perderte después
Quiero tenerte muy cerca, mirar bien tus ojos
verte junto a mí
Piensa que tal vez mañana
yo ya estaré lejos, muy, muy lejos de ti
Bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez
Bésame... mucho
Que tengo miedo de perderte, perderte después
Que tengo miedo de perderte, perderte después
Que tengo miedo
De perderte, perderte
Después

Carmen McRae had the voice and the feel of a century, from Thelonious Monk's tunes to bolero. I hope our grandchildren will remember our time listening to this voice and this amazing style
