First light in Mendoza,
I felt a little closer,
When I called you on a telephone card,
I was danced off my feet,
I had nowhere to sleep,
The pisco had left me off guard.

And the tears fell like rain,
Rolling across the plain,
Wind calling your name,
In the Plaza Independencia,
At the sunrise you were there,
In the breeze I swear,
I could see your hair,
Floating across the square.

I was lost with the lingo,
Well, call me a gringo,
Sin encanto por señoritas,
The quiet of dawn,
Had me feeling forlorn,
Somewhere they were playing guitars.

And the tears fell like rain,
Rolling across the plain,
Wind calling your name,
In the Plaza Independencia,
At the sunrise you were there,
In the breeze I swear,
I could see your hair,
Floating across the square.

You bring me coffee every morning while I lay in bed,
You read the paper, take a shower, it’s the same every day,
Never changes,
But I love our little ways.

I make you toast the way you like without the edges on,
You go to work but call me straight away 'cause you already miss home,
And our little world,
And all our little ways.

You,
Are the reason that I smile,
The good thing in my life,
You,
You may not ever see,
Just what you mean to me.

Wanna spend the rest of my life,
Holding your hand, stood by your side,
Wanna be the girl on your arm,
Your lucky charm, the reason you believe,
In happy endings, with your best friend,
Like a fairy tale.

Wanna be your first, wanna be your last,
Wanna be your everything,
Wanna see how life turns out,
The good the bad and all that’s in between,
Just wanna love you for the rest of my days,
Wanna share my life and all our little ways.

You stroke my hair when I lay over you and watch TV,
I rub your shoulders when you're stressed, I try to take your cares away,
We've got each other and all our little ways.

You,
Are the reason that I smile,
The good thing in my life,
You,
You may not ever see,
Just what you mean to me.

Wanna spend the rest of my life,
Holding your hand, stood by your side,
Wanna be the girl on your arm,
Your lucky charm, the reason you believe,
In happy endings, with your best friend,
Like a fairy tale.

Wanna be your first, wanna be your last,
Wanna be your everything,
Wanna see how life turns out,
The good the bad and all that’s in between,
Just wanna love you for the rest of my days,
Wanna share my life and all our little ways.

When it rains it pours,
And I feel like I've been drowning,
Since you've been gone.
I believed in love and happy endings,
But that ended when it all went wrong.

Now in the dead of the night,
The pain gets a little bit stronger,
I spend a little longer thinking about you,
And when the music plays,
It don't hit in the same way,
You took the soul from the song,
And the words right outta my mouth.

When the cold wind blows,
Without an arm to wrap around your shoulder,
It feels a little colder than it did before.
I wish I knew, if there was something I could do,
To stop my mind reminding me you're not here no more.

Now in the dead of the night,
The pain gets a little bit stronger,
I spend a little longer thinking about you,
And when the music plays,
It don't hit in the same way,
You took the soul from the song,
And the words right outta my mouth.

Sun goes down,
Dark all around,
Look away, go away now,
Nothing left to say now.

Doors stay closed,
What was new now is old,
Run away, turn away now,
Nothing you can say now.

It falls away,
The cracks appear in the glass,
Facing the ghost of the past,
Making the heartaches last,
It’s up to me,
The keeper of my destiny,
Too far for the eye to see,
Wrapped up safe and sound inside me.

Tears fall down,
Never make a sound,
You can go, you can go now,
Nothing you can do now.

Life goes on,
Forever holding on,
Another day to take away now,
Nothing left to say now.

It falls away,
The cracks appear in the glass,
Facing the ghost of the past,
Making the heartaches last,
It’s up to me,
The keeper of my destiny,
Too far for the eye to see,
Wrapped up safe and sound.

It falls away,
The cracks appear in the glass,
Facing the ghost of the past,
Making the heartaches last,
It’s up to me,
The keeper of my destiny,
Too far for the eye to see,
Wrapped up safe and sound inside me.
