It's You
Reba West Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dream of you late at night.
What do you do
When I turn out the light?
No matter who I touch,
It is you I still see.
It's touch and go,
But no one touches me.
It's you who's on my mind.
It's you I cannot leave behind.
It's me who's lost.
The me who lost her heart,
To you who tore my heart apart.
If you still think of me,
How did we come to this?
Wish that I knew it is me that you miss.
Wish that I knew it is me that you miss.

i'm 48 years old, I looked robotech integrally 4 times in my life. The first time at 14 years old, then is 27 years old, then 35 years old and this year again, robotech and her music will never stay in my memory, more grandiose than starwars, every time I look at I have chills and tears.

Descanse en paz Jesús Barrero, Carl Macek, grandes que participaron en esa fantástica serie. Recuerdo un wey vecino de mi barrio, eramos morros y el choto iba por las tortillas diciendo "voy en modo guardián".

Yo recordaba está canción cuando era niña la cantaba, me daba mucha melancolía. Ahora por fin la encontré y después de tantos años sigue provocando lo mismo en mi 😢
