Oh, thinkin about our younger years There was only you and me We were young and wild and free Now, nothing can take you away from me Weve been down that road before thats over now You keep me coming back for more -[CHORUS]- Baby, youre all that I want When youre lying here in my arms Im finding it hard to believe Were in heaven love is all that I need And I found it there in your heart It isnt too hard to see Were in heaven

SALVADOR
I was born in Puerto Rico
We came here when I was a child
Before I reached the age of sixteen
I was running with the gang and we were wild
He keeps looking but he don't recognize me.
Some guy from Lexington or Park
Red beans and rice from kitchen windows
Supper-time and the barrio is dark.
No one knows you like I do
Nobody can know your heart the way I do
No one can testify to all that you've been
through
But I will.
SAL & THE VAMPIRES
I was born in Puerto Rico
And my blood is Taino
Spanish Caribbean my soul
SALVADOR
We came here wearing summer clothes in
winter
Hearts of sunshine in the cold
Your family rented this apartment
Without You Lyrics
I was walking in the shadows to avoid Your light Stumbling footsteps along the way Knowing that I need to turn back so I closed my eyes Scared that a tear would appear and You'd see I'm afraid Over and over and over again I pushed away, but You reached out to touch my soul I tell You over and over and over again I made mistakes but You never let me go So it's time I let You know Without You I can't dream Without You I can't see Don'
In the sacramental hour your stepfather in
black
Preached the fire of the Pentecostal Church
No one knows you like I do
Nobody can know your heart the way I do
No one can testify to all that you've been
through
But this will.
SAL & THE VAMPIRES
I was born in Puerto Rico
Came here when I was a child.
SALVADOR
Small change and sunlight, then I left these
streets for good.
My days as short as they were wild.

Met de deur op slot Lyrics
de nacht speelt met je haren ze bedekken je gezicht en ik vertrouw je ik kijk in mijn gedachten doe mijn ogen langzaam dicht zo lijken dingen zoveel anders te zijn hoe is je geweten in het licht zal ik ooit weten wie jij bent je hoort niet wat ik zeg je raakt verblind door alles wat er om je heen is ik kijk in je gedachten jij je ogen langzaam dicht er is meer te zien dan onbezorgdheid kun je me zeggen wat er is kan ik ook leven zoals j

Your features blurred in every grainy photo
And fading headline of the Daily News
Wiltwyck School for Criminal Children
Auburn, Brooklyn House of D.,
Dannemora, Sing-Sing, Attica,
Greenhaven
SALVADOR
Twenty years inside, today you're free.
You cannot even read your story
The pages piling up in shame
Before the words released you, the guard
would kill the light
The night you took The Capeman for your
name.
CHORUS
I was born in Puerto Rico
I was born in Puerto Rico
I was born in Puerto Rico
I was born in Puerto Rico
I was born in Puerto Rico
I was born in Puerto Rico
I was born in Puerto Rico
I was born in Puerto Rico
Statue of a Fool Lyrics
Somewhere there should be for all the world to see A statue of a fool made of stone An image of a man who let love slip through his hands And then just let him stand there all alone And there on his face a gold tear should be placed To honor the million tears he cried And the hurt in his eyes would so everyone would know Concealed is a broken heart inside So build a statue and oh build it high so that all can
