Spanish Eyes

Ricky Martin · Ricky Martin

I met a girl at the carneval
In Rio de Janeiro
We danced all night on the boulevar
In always we did the tango

I miss her lips
And the way she sashayed her hips
As she shook her sholders
Somewhere in time she will come back to me
And i'll spend my whole life beside her

CHORUS:
We were dancing in the summer rain
We were dancing through the night
I never knew her real name
So I called her Spanish Eyes
Spanish Eyes

I miss the touch
Of her body so much
I long for the warmth inside ger
Somewhere in time she will come
back to me
And I'll spend my whole life beside her

REPAT CHORUS
We were dancin through the summer rain
we were dancin through the night
I never knew her real name
so i called her spanish eyes
