Empezar a amar
descubrir esta verdad
que recien ya te conozco
y ya no hay mas.
Y es pensar, sentir
que eres tu mi ultimo fin
dulce imagen que solto un video-clip.
Creeme que te quiero

que en mi eres VIP
la ternura en mi espejo
que me sonrie feliz.
Porque se que este amor es lo mas bello del mundo
desato el corazon
para amar cada segundo
porque se que este amor que es tan mio como tuyo
no es pasion sin querer
trapecista sin red
en los dos, en los dos.
A la luz del sol
yo te canto esta cancion
que te dice que me has puesto ya match- point.
El dolor se fue de tu cielo de una vez
si me dices te amo me siento muy bien
me vistes en la clase
o frente al televisor
repitiendo tu nombre
o escribiendolo en un ...
Porque se que este amor es lo mas bello del mundo
desato el corazon
para amar cada segundo
porque se que este amor que es tan mio como tuyo
no es pasion sin querer

trapecista sin red
