(Buenos Días Amor - José José)

I mistook your pearly skin for - the morning light

I mistook your green eyes for - clear water

Your hair for the night

And your body for my pillow

I was dreaming, and you were - by my side, snuggled up

I got lost in your embrace while - you were still asleep

The surprise opened your eyes, and - day broke

I locked a kiss on your - lips

Just in case you scolded me

And I covered your body, for the - dawn was watching us

Good morning, my love, my love, - my love

What’s wrong with your face?

It’s lost its color, my love, - my love

And it says nothing

I’ve traveled your skin from North to - South

And I’ve found no woman like - you

Good morning, my love, my love, - my love

What’s wrong with your face?

It’s lost its color, my love, - my love

And it says nothing

I’ve traveled your skin from North to - South

And I’ve found no other - woman like you

Left to the mercy of the - morning

You hid your fears beneath the - pillow

I know you were upset

But you said nothing

Silence gives consent, and I know - you’re in love

Good morning, my love, my love, - my love

What’s wrong with your face?

It’s lost its color, my love, - my love

And it says nothing

I’ve traveled your skin from North to - South

And I’ve found no woman like - you

Good morning, my love, my love, - my love

What’s wrong with your face?

It’s lost its color, my love, - my love

And it says nothing

I’ve traveled your skin from North to - South

And I’ve found no woman like - you

Good morning, my love, my love, - my love

What’s wrong with your face?

It’s lost its color, my love, - my love
