Solo... (Only...)

"Solo por ella..." means, "only for her..." in spanish. I had heard this line in a spanish artist's song and liked it, so I built a song around it. I had to dig into my imagination and a little bit of memory for inspiration though. The story the song tells is partially true, but also includes alot of imagination, and it also tested my VERY limited Spanish vocabulary. I hope you like it.

Just another chance in the caribbean moonlight, with San Juan on the horizon.
Is that too much to ask for--maybe, but this is for what my heart is longing.
Her beside me with the breeze blowing her hair and the sea mist salting our lips
My beautiful mamacita, how I miss those ten days of heaven.

I wonder what she is doing right now. Was she just meant for mi suenos?(my dreams)
The more I think of her the more I wish, we had never said "adios!"

Chorus:
Solo por ella... I would stop and leave my world behind.
To have her in my arms, if only for just one more night.
And feel my heart pound out of my chest, like when we kissed that first time.
There is nothing I wouldn't give, to make it once again..
Solo por ella...

Yo soy perdido sin mi amor.. (I'm lost without my love) I just haven't quite been myself.
Since that winter trip that took me miles beyond the continental shelf.
And when a latin beat plays in mi oidos (my ears), my soul it starts to dance.
Thinking about the way her body moved in that tropical print dress.

I wonder what she is doing right now. Was she just meant for mi suenos?
The more I think of her the more I wish, we had never said "adios!"

Chorus:
Solo por ella... I would stop and leave my world behind.
To have her in my arms, if only for just one more night.
And feel my heart pound out of my chest, like when we kissed that first time.
There is nothing I wouldn't give, to make it once again..
Solo por ella...
