To love you
I need a reason
And it's hard to believe
That there isn't one other than this love
There's so much left over
Inside this heart
That despite what they say that the years are wise
The pain is still felt
Because all the time that I spent with you
It left its thread woven inside me
Chorus 1
And I learned to take away the seconds from time
You made me see the sky even deeper
Together with you I think that I gained more than three kilos
With your many sweet kisses shared
You developed my sense of smell
And it was because of you that I learned to love cats
You lifted my shoes off the cement
To escape together flying for a while
Chorus 2
But you forgot one final instruction
Because I still don't know how to live without your love
And I discovered what a rose means
You taught me to tell white lies
To be able to see you at inappropriate hours
And to replace words with looks
And it was because of you that I wrote more than a hundred songs
And I even forgave your mistakes
And I learned more than a thousand ways to kiss
And it was because of you that I discovered what love is
What love is
