Por Lo Menos Te Tuve

I've thought over the years about
The summary of my life, well
It wasn't all bad
At least I had you one day
For better or for worse, but I had you
And the years taught me to heal
My wounds, but there's one that won't close

Look, it hurts me to say it, but
Here in my chest, your name beats
It hurts my eyes when I
Cry for a whole life, and my
Lips dry up when there are
No kisses like yours, and you never sleep
When at night I say your name

And it wasn't all bad loving you
And caring for you, I don't care how far
You've gone or where you are

And it wasn't all bad having you and
Loving you, 'cause at least I learned to love you and care for you
'Cause still at night in my dreams, you're so close
(I'll hold on to the good, at least I had you)

And my life is a poem, the forgotten poet
And no one has recited it, because in its verses
There are many sorrows, tears, pains, a sad poem

And as the days go by, I've managed
To get used to living with this pain
Pain that burns me, pain that hurts, pain that kills!

Memories open up when
I hear just your name, and my voice
Breaks when I talk about what we've lived, and
The stars fade when at night I scream your name

And it wasn't all bad loving you and
Caring for you, I don't care how far
You've gone or where you are
And it wasn't all bad having you and
Loving you, 'cause at least I learned to love you and care for you
Photos fade when at night I always kiss them!

(A bachata for the collection)
And it wasn't all bad
(I at least had you and
For me, every day is Monday, I'm still in love here)
And it wasn't all bad
(You taught me about love and
You brought color to my life when you were by my side)
And it wasn't all bad
(When you cry for a life, when your lips dry up)
