Tú Lugar Vacio
Pedro Infante Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Por el tuyo cambiar mi corazón
Que tú supieras lo que llevo dentro
Y que sintieras lo que siento yo
Cierro los ojos te miro
Abro los brazos y no estas
Me despierto y contemplo
Tu lugar vació
Yo se que en ti ya soy olvido
Que debo ver la realidad pero no puedo
Aunque te sepa en nuevo nido
De todos modos te guardo tu lugar
Cierro los ojos te miro
Abro los brazos y no estas
Me despierto y contemplo
Tu lugar vació
Y me dan muchas ganas de llorar
Yo se que en ti ya soy olvido
Que debo ver la realidad pero no puedo
Aunque te sepa en nuevo nido
De todos modos te guardo tu lugar
