So Many Years Ago
It was so many years agoBut it seems like yesterdayWhen we would walk along the waterAnd I would melt each time you'd say"Te quiero, mi amor"And you would kiss my cheekAnd all my troubles would drift awayLike a flower down the creekIt was so many years agoBut the memory's so clearI see the sparkle of your eyesI feel your lips upon my earThe scratchy stubble on your chinThe roughness of your handsIn my heart I see you and I wonderWho really understandsIt was so many years agoThat we lay side by sideOur naked bodies minglingWith nothing left to hideI'd watch the ripples of your musclesBeneath the soft glow of the starsWhile we'd listen to the distant soundOf voices and guitarsLetras de cancionesIt was so many years agoThe sweat upon your forehead glistenedI recall the words you spokeAnd how the people listenedI remember where I satLooking at your long black hairThe debates would last 'til dawnAnd change was in the airIt was so many years agoBut what's most etched upon my mindWas the hour when you left meAnd our little home behindEver since that awful momentThings have never been the sameThe leaves were falling on the rooftopsOn the day the soldiers came From Letras Mania
