La Letra

La Oreja De Van Gogh - El 28

Llega tarde el 28 nerviosa miro el reloj, la lluvia conmigo empieza un día de pleno sol, a lo mejor aparece el recuerdo de un amor, no me ve, camina ausente, hace mucho que pasó. empecé a recordar. y paseé por mi mente y encontré, aquel rincón que te dejé, donde guardo los momentos que no olvidé. Revivo aquella noche en que  olvidamos lo demás, el cielo se volvió rojo al sol vimos bostezar, se ha perdido entre la gente, me he perdido yo también, ya se ha ido el 28 la memoria de un ayer. Empecé a recordar. y paseé por mi mente y encontré aquel rincón que te dejé, donde guardo los momentos que no olvidé. si quiero saber, si tú también, recuerdas algo de aquel café, espero a veces sin entender por qué.
