Lyrics[]
I'm so lonely and blue
When I'm without you
I don't know what I'd do,
Sweetheart, without you
The joy and tears that love endears
Would have no meaning
If I didn't have you to keep me dreaming
At the close of each day,
When I'm without you,
And my heart kneels to pray,
I pray about you
You take a star
And lead it far away from heaven,
And the star will be lost, as I'm lost without you
(instrumental)
You take a star
And lead it far away from heaven,
And the star will be lost, as I'm lost without you
Oye la confesión
De mi secreto
Nace de un corazón
Que está desierto
Con tres palabras
Te diré todas mis cosas
Cosas del corazón que son preciosas
Dame tus manos ven
Toma las mías
Que te voy a confiar
Las ansias mías
Son tres palabras solamente,
Mis angustias
Y esas palabras son: como me gustas
(instrumental)
Son tres palabras solamente,
Mis angustias
Y esas palabras son: como me gustas
