No Sabes Cuanto Te Quiero
Manolo Otero
You Don't Know How Much I Love You
It's dawning,
what peace reflects on your face
when you sleep...
It's almost time
to start a new day
and the truth
I admit that
I really don't like waking up early at all,
maybe that's the reason
why I have
such a hard time waking up
I thank you so much
that every morning
you give me your first look
your smile
and tell me:
good morning, my love
I love watching you
when you make me coffee,
you care so much about me
that you forget and don't mind
that yours is getting cold
You always think of me before
yourself
always....
And you don't know how much I love you...
I need that kiss,
that kiss of yours from yesterday
today, always
that kiss you give me
when I leave
and when I come home
late, tired, and with problems
and you welcome me with open arms.
You help me, you listen to me
and above all you hear me
and that eases my sorrows.
Today I woke up holding you,
I loved looking at you so much
you had your eyes closed to the light
and your mind open to dreams
your body... completely naked
my hands seemed to have wings
they escaped me
flew towards you
desired you
and I caressed you from head to toe...
once or twice
You don't know how much I love you...
There are times when
we don't even need words
to understand each other,
just looking at each other is enough,
and if we argue over something silly,
we end up finding each other
where we feel closest,
closer, in our bed
Whether things go well or badly
me by your side and you by mine
together, fused like sand and lime
like water from the same river.
There are those who don't understand this love
who turn their backs on us
what do we care!
because you and I know
that when we met
we decided to drop anchor
I have felt you so many times
when you get up in the middle of the night
you look at me and pamper me as if I were still a child
you seem to sense that I'm feeling cold
and you throw another blanket over me
I like how you treat me
and I like how you love me
you are the best gift
that life has given me
You don't know how much I love you...
You share all my things
everything that can be felt
when you truly love
in those moments of surrender
yours and mine...
where there is only one witness watching us,
silent and keeping our intimacy...
our bed...
