Un café con sal ganas de llorar
Mi mundo empezando a temblar,
Presiento que se acerca el final
No quiero ganar ahora eso qué más da
Estoy cansada ya de inventar excusas que no saben andar
Y sólo quedarán los buenos momentos de ayer que fueron de los dos
Y hoy sólo quiero creer

Que recordarás las tardes de invierno por Madrid
Las noches enteras sin dormir
La vida pasaba y yo sentí­a que me iba a morir de amor
Al verte esperando en mi portal sentado en el suelo sin pensar
Que puedes contar conmigo

Nunca hubo maldad sólo ingenuidad
Pretendiendo hacernos creer que el mundo estaba a nuestros pies
Cuando el sueño venga a por mí­ en silencio voy a construir
Una vida a todo color donde vivamos juntos los dos
Y sólo quedarán los buenos momentos de ayer que fueron de los dos
Y hoy sólo quiero creer

Que recordarás las tardes de invierno por Madrid
Las noches enteras sin dormir
La vida pasaba y yo sentía que me iba a morir de amor
Al verte esperando en mi portal sentado en el suelo sin pensar
Que puedes contar conmigo para siempre

Y no puedo evitar echarte de menos
Mientras das la mano a mi tiempo y te vas
Yo siento que quiero verte y verte y pienso
Que recordarás las tardes de invierno por Madrid
Las noches enteras sin dormir
La vida pasaba y yo sentí­a que me iba a morir de amor
Al verte esperando en mi portal sentado en el suelo sin pensar
Que puedes contar conmigo
Que recordarás las tardes de invierno por Madrid
Las noches enteras sin dormir
La vida se pasa y yo me muero, me muero por ti
