03 Mi Morena
Josh Groban Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And so my love
From my window I can see
A beautiful vision
And when the music plays
Your body rises like a bird of grace

[Chorus]
Mi morena
I saw you dancing in the rain
Holy water
Shining like a silver flame
Come like a ghost
I will watch you dance alone
Mi morena
You're the light within my soul

And so my love
The way you're moving in your dress
To a nylon guitar
On wings of silk and lace
You lift upon the notes and slip away

[Chorus]

Take this cross of feathers and bone
Take this heart I've carved into stone
In your name

Where the setting sun surrenders to the moon
Mi querida
I will wait for you

[Chorus]

Mi morena
Hold your hands out to the light
Be my lover
I will fall into your eyes
Sweet fire of love
For you I'd steal the stars




'Cause I adore you
O my morena
