Dame Un Beso
Denise Rivera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Una vez mas soñé contigo
Y la verdad necesito decirte...
Mira mis manos
Tiemblan así por ti...
Se que tiemblas por mi
Siento el encanto de una noche
Ven y dame al fin
De tu amor
De tu corazón
Que ya es hora de ser feliz...
Mira mis ojos
Brillan así por ti...
Te deseo a morir
Mira la gente,
Mira la gran ciudad,
Se detienen por ti y por mí
Si nos ven besar
Sonriendo dirán
Que par de locos
Darme un beso así
Es ir al paraíso
Es casi un hechizo
Darme un beso así
Me llena de calma
Me llega hasta el alma
Mira mis labios
Acércate un poco mas...
De manera casual
Muerde un suspiro
Aprovecha mi descuido ven.
Bésame sin dudar
Sin hablar
Dame mas calor
Lléname de tu amor
Te necesito...
Nubla mi mente
(Dame un beso así)
Que me llegue hasta el alma y me haga perder la calma.
Que lo que esconden tus labios quiero descubrir...
Llévame hasta el paraíso
Porque yo quiero ser parte de tu dulce piso
Hoy en tu boca mi boca quisiera tener
Mira que brillan mis ojos y te deseo mujer
Bésame ahora mismo que hable la gente
Si estamos locos de amor que comenten
Necesito de tu amor lléname de tu calor
Que no exista la duda de que este amor es una locura
Acércate niña linda que yo te quiero sentir
Y si notas que yo tiemblo estoy temblando por ti
Dame agua de tu fuente que estoy sediento de ti
No me hagas desfallecer dame un beso please
