No Me Ver
by: Enanitos VerdesNo me veras, no me veras
abrazado recuerdos
la vida es demasiado corta
para vivirla en el pasado.
No me veras, no me veras
si algun dia caigo
no quiero que te pongas triste
si yo estoy mal, de verme mal.
No me veras, no me veras
Pidiendote revancha
todo lo que pueda pasarnos
si somos sinceros, esta bien.
Te conoci sin saber
que yo te iba a querer
de esta manera.
Y ahora estoy muy feliz
porque te tengo a ti
por vez primera.
Voy a amarte.
No me veras, no me veras
ocultando sentimientos
no voy a ser mas fuerte o mas debil
solo por mostrarme sentimental.
No me veras, no me veras
levantando banderas
si al fin este mundo es uno
yo quiero un mundo, no quiero tres.
Te conoci sin saber...
No me veras
No me veras...
