Este Amor
Jay Perez Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Este amor que yo tengo
No lo puedo sentir
Si no estas a mi lado
Yo quisiera tenerte en mis brazos
Juntitos los dos
Porque siento que tu no me amas
Como te amo yo mi amor
Tus caricias, tus besos

Me traen loco de pasion
Eres tu quien me dio vida para vivir
Y no puedo existir si no estas aqui
Quiero estar a tu lado
Hasta el morir
Porque tu eres mia, mia
Este amor que yo siento es para ti
Y no puedo dejar de pensar en ti
No te olvides de todo

Lo que te di
Porque tu eres mia, mia
