Como Tú
Julio Iglesias Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ha pasado tanto tiempo sin saber de ti
te busqué por todas partes donde fui
He tratado de olvidarte, no lo conseguí
y ahora sé que ya no sé vivir sin ti.

Yo recuerdo aquel verano en que te conocí
de las cosas que te dije y que sentí
Cada día en la distancia sólo pienso en ti
desde entonces ya no sé vivir sin ti.

Como tú, como tú
Necesito amor de alguien como tú
Como tú, como tú
desesperadamente de alguien como tú
Como tú, como tú

Si supieras lo que hice por volverte a ver
mendigué por todas partes tu querer
Fui buscando otros amores y te comparé,
pero nadie me apartó de aquel ayer.

Como tú, como tú
Necesito amor de alguien como tú
Como tú, como tú




desesperadamente de alguien como tú
Como tú, como tú
