I just want to be with you
Where? Where I don't care
To be next to you
To be by your side

My mind will not leave me alone
Can't sleep, I just want to be with you
Your touch is all I need
Your touch is all I need
To see me through

Carlos wrote this as a tribute to his mother âMy mom was total determination. She used to say, âI know weâre poor but weâre not going to be dirty, so get up and clean the house!â Her favourite mantra was: âMake yourself usefulââ. This is one of most touching homage Iâve heard in my life. I love the way how Benny Ritvield finishes this song (I donât know why, but that idea sounds as something that came from Carlos). Milagro was his first album with Santana and now a day not only he stills plays with the band.: Benny is Santanaâs Musical Director.
Thanks for sharing. Fantastic song!
