Tu CaRiÑo Se Me Va
by: Los TresLetras: Alvaro Henríquez
Música: Alvaro Henríquez
Tu cariño se me va, se me va
como el agua entre los dedos
Y no lo puedo evitar, a pesar
que de pena yo me muero
Era dueño de tu amor
Es mi culpa este dolor,
oh uh yeah
No me quites este amor
Reconozco mi error
Se me parte el corazón
sin tu amor no viviré
y por siempre lloraré
recordando tu querer
Tu sonrisa se me va, ya no está
aunque trato de buscarla
Era dueño de tu amor
Es mi culpa este dolor,
eh eh eh, oh uoh uuh uuh
No me quites este amor
reconozco mi error
se me parte el corazón
Sin tu amor no viviré
y por siempre lloraré
recordando tu querer
Tu cariño se me va, se me va
como el agua entre los dedos
Y no lo puedo evitar, a pesar
