Paloma Querida

The day you came into my life
Dear dove, I raised a glass
And feeling a little tipsy
Thinking of your lips
I just had to sing

I felt better than anyone
And I wanted to pull down a handful of stars
But when I saw none were within reach
I got so mad I wanted to cry

I don’t know what my life is worth
But I want to give it to you
I don’t know if your love will accept it
But I’m here to leave it with you

You found me on a dark road
Like a wanderer with no direction or faith
And the light in your divine eyes
Turned my sorrows into joy and pleasure

Since then I feel I love you
With all the strength my soul can give
Since then, dear dove
I’ve traded my heart for a dove cote

I don’t know what my life is worth
But I want to give it to you
I don’t know if your love will accept it
But I’m here to leave it with you
