When I look in your eyes
I see words I can't describe
And these words I'm tellin' you
And I tell you I love you
I don't try to put me down
Just because my back is turned around
I'm playing ii strait for once
'Cause baby I love you
I really do
There's no one else like you
Baby I love
Baby I love you

No matter what you do
Baby I love you and I tell you I know you
Don't try to put me down
Just because my back is turned around
I'm playing it strait for once baby I love you
I really do
There's no one like you
Baby I love

Baby I love you
Oh yeah

'Cause baby I love you

Baby I love you
Baby I love you
Baby I love
Baby I love you
No matter what I do




Baby I love you
And I tell you I love you

Siempre te he dicho
Lo bien que se siente abrazarte
No es tan facil de explicar
Y aunque realmente sigo intentando
Creo que comenzaré a llorar
Mi corazón no puede esperar otro dia mas
Cuando me besas solo consigo, me besas solo consigo, me besas solo consigo decir...

(Nena, te amo) Vamos nena!
(Nena, te amo) Soplado en el cielo
Nena te amo, te amo solo a ti

No puedo vivir sin ti
Amo todo lo que hay en ti
No puedo evitarlo si lo siento asi
Oh, estoy tan contento de haberte enc

My dad absolutely loved The Ramones. He sadly passed away in early August this year. This played at his funeral and it was absolutely beautiful. I don't think I'll ever be able to this song and not cry.

I love how a punk band can make this type of music and to be honest, it’s probably the best soft song I’ve ever heard

@demitrisalloum5131

the fact that it's a cover makes this statement kind of ironic

@gregoryblomberg40

Joey sang but no one else played on this tune

@daviddonnelly3871
