Monumental Soundbyte - 94


Gloria Estefan - Wrapped / Hoy
Happy New Year......! May 2008 be a wonderful wonderful year for us all.
I was hoping to wrap this series up last year since i am so so excited about the new series i have been working on for the past few months....But this will be over this week and we can kick the new year off right....
This is a 2 for 1 song. These songs were both released on Gloria's 10th album - Unwrapped. Wrapped was the first single released while Hop was the second single which is the spanish version of Wrapped. Its not exactly the same song in the sense that the spanish song is not an exact translation.
The beauty of this song is in the lyrics so enjoy.....
Keep every tear like an ocean
For every day that my fortune
Kept me from being with you
I craddle your faith that reveals me
Grows like a flower, then heals me
Fills me with promise anew
I carry you on disillusion
When my pathetic confusion
Kept me from speaking the truth
I'm simply a coin in your fountain
Lost like the seconds I'm counting 'til I am closer to you
I cherish every morning that found us
With the night scattered around us
Faded and painting me blue
I carry your joy in my footsteps
Making my way to your harbour
I don't need to go any farther
You are my sun and my moon
Wrapped in your arms where it's peaceful
Back in your arms where I'm happy
I would do anything gladly
Only to see you again
Wrapped in your arms I can wander
Up to the heaven's above me
Hearing you say that you love me
Back in your arms where I'm free
Keep every phrase barely spoken
Left from your lips
They have broken
Free as you give me your love
The yearning is constant and steady
When I'm with you I'm already
Everything I can become
I cherish every morning that found us
With the night scattered around us
Faded and painting me blue
I carry your joy in my footsteps
Making my way to your harbour
I don't need to go any farther
You are my sun and my moon
Wrapped in your arms where it's peaceful
Back in your arms where I'm happy
I would do anything gladly
Only to see you again
Wrapped in your arms I can wander
Up to the heaven's above me
Hearing you say that you love me
Back in your arms where I'm free
