Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My mind runs away with me
I just want to be with you
Where? Where I don't care
To be next to you
To be by your side

[Chorus]
I, I, Oh I
I just want to get next to you
I, I, Oh I
I just want to get next to you

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





[Chorus]

Carlos wrote this as a tribute to his mother “My mom was total determination. She used to say, ‘I know we’re poor but we’re not going to be dirty, so get up and clean the house!’ Her favourite mantra was: ‘Make yourself useful’”. This is one of most touching homage I’ve heard in my life. I love the way how Benny Ritvield finishes this song (I don’t 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 Santana’s Musical Director.
Thanks for sharing. Fantastic song!
