Yo, no veo el futuro
Pero quiero tenerte aquí
Conmigo, lo necesito así
No pienses, no pienses en mañana
Vamos a amarnos hoy
Ahora, este momento vivir

Mi vida yo tratare de olvidarte
Pero la luz de tus ojos
Brilla, eres un ángel
Que alumbra mi corazón

You, no quise decirte
Lo que you no quiera saber de mi
Tenia miedo sentir
Pero tu, tu me ensenaste
A enfrentarme a la realidad
A la verdad
La realidad, la verdad

Mi vida yo tratare de olvidarte
Pero la luz de tus ojos
Brilla, eres un ángel
Que alumbra mi corazón

Mi ángel
