Y estar lejos me hace daño 
Siempre espero el día siguiente 
Solo quiero detenerme 

Estar lejo’ me enamora 
Es la vida la que llora 
Estar lejos hoy me ofende. 

Estar lejos me hace daño sin ti 
Estar siempre a tu lado es mi fin 

Voy buscando el día primero 
Recordar bien lo que quiero 
Y encontrarte entre mis cuentos 

No voy a olvidar , que te he escrito mas de doce canciones 
No voy a olvidar, que te llevo siempre en mis oraciones 
No voy a olvidar, que eres todo lo que quiero decir y el 
Olvido ya no es parte de mi 
Que estar lejos me hace daño hasta fin, pero lejos estoy 
Cerca de ti. 

Estar lejos me hace daño sin ti 
Estar siempre a tu lado es mi fin 

Voy buscando el día primero 
Recordar bien lo que quiero 
Y encontrarte entre mis cuentos 

No voy a olvidar , que te he escrito mas de doce canciones 
No voy a olvidar, que te llevo siempre en mis oraciones 
No voy a olvidar, que eres todo lo que quiero decir y el 
Olvido ya no es parte de mi 
Que estar lejos me hace daño hasta el fin, pero lejos 
Estoy cerca de ti. 

Cada paso que doy adelante es una mirada atrás, te olvido 

Perdóname si te hecho al olvido
Te olvido
