Amanecí En Tus Brazos
Tito Nieves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Entre tus brazos
Y desperté llorando
De alegría
Me cobijé la cara
Con tus manos
Para seguirte amando todavía
Casi dormida
Tú me querías decir
No sé qué cosa
Pero callé tu boca
Con mis besos
Y así pasaron
Muchas, muchas horas
Cuando llegó la noche
Y apareció la luna
Y entró por tu ventana
Qué cosa tan bonita
Cuando la luz del cielo
Iluminó tu cara
Yo me volví a amanecer
Entré tus brazos
Tú me querías decir
No sé qué cosa
Pero callé tu boca
Con mis besos
Y así pasaron
Muchas, muchas horas
