Besame Mucho Lyrics
Chris Isaak
Lyrics
Besame besame mucho
Each time I cling to your kiss I hear music divine
Besame besame mucho
Hold me my darling and say that you'll always be mine
This joy is something new my arms enfolding you, never knew this thrill before
Whoever thought I'd be holding you close to me whispering to you I adore
Dearest one if you should leave me
Each little dream would take wings and my life would be through
So besame besame mucho
Love me forever and make all my dreams come true
Dearest one if you should leave me
Each little dream would take wings and my life would be through
So besame besame mucho
Love me forever and make all my dreams come true
Make all my dreams come true
Make all my dreams come true
