I Am Here (Estoy Aqui)
Shakira · Other Songs - Shakira
All that it was
Time left it behind
I know that you wonÂ’t return
What happened between us will never be repeated
A thousand years will never reach me
To fade you away and forget
And now I'm here
Wanting to turn
Countryside into city
Mixing sky with the sea
I know that I let you escape
I know that I lost you
Nothing can be the same
A thousand years might be long enough
For you to be able to forgive me
CHORUS:
Here I am, loving you
Drowning
Among pictures and notebooks
Things and souvenirs
Things I can't understand
I'm going crazy
Changing a foot for
My own face
This night for a day and so what
And there's nothing I can do about it
The letters that I wrote
I never sent them
You didn't want to know of me
I canÂ’t understand
What a fool I was
It's all the matter of time and faith
A thousand years and a thousand more
Are long enough to love
CHORUS - repeat
If you still think about me a little
You'll know that I'm still waiting for you
CHORUS - repeat
