Barrio Viejo

An old neighborhood, a dive bar
Fate had it that I was there
For this humble job of a songwriter
And today I want to tell you what I lived there

A lady stepped out of a fancy car
With a proud air, dressed all in gray
She pushed her way through the drunken crowd
And shouted, without a care, at a miserable drunk

I loved you like no one else
I truly cared for you
I loved you like no one else
Like I've never loved anyone
Like I’ll never love again

I loved you like no one else
You were always my sunshine
It hurts more than a dagger
To see my sunshine fade
Among glasses of liquor

I loved you like no one else

I kept quiet, and so did the crowd
And suddenly, the drunk reacted
He found courage and strength from his past
Crying, all messed up, he answered the lady

I
I loved you like no one else
I truly cared for you
I loved you like no one else
Like I've never loved anyone
Like I’ll never love again

I loved you like no one else
I wanted to make you happy
Today something kills me
You didn’t want to be my wife
You wanted to be an actress

I loved you like no one else
