Amor Eterno Tu eres la tristeza de mis ojos Que lloran en silencio por tu amor Me miro en el espejo y veo en mi rostro El tiempo que he sufrido por tu amor Obligo a que te olvide el pensamiento Pues siempre estoy pensando en el ayer Prefiero estar dormido que despierto De tanto que me duele que no estas CORO: Como quisiera que tu vivieras Que tus ojitos jamas se hubieran cerrado nunca Y estar mirandolos Amor eterno e inolvidable Tarde o temprano estare contigo Para seguir amandonos Yo he sufrido tanto por tu ausencia Desde ese dia hasta hoy no estoy feliz Y aunque tengo tranquila mi conciencia Se que podia ver hecho mas por ti Obscura soledad estoy viviendo La misma soledad de tu sepulcro Tu eres el amor de cual yo tengo El mas triste recuerdo de Acapulco CORO: Como quisiera que tu vivieras Que tus ojitos jamas se hibieran cerrado nunca Y estar mirandolos Amor eterno e inolvidable Tarde o temprano estare contigo Para seguir amandonos.
