Its not like I didnt have

a life before I knew you

I know it was supposed to be the best

Everyone loving me, everything at my feet

Many years and all the world in front of me

It was all I ever wanted, and too much, too

all I really wanted was some rest

I took myself away from

everyone and everything

I know now just how wrong my leaving was

Full of fears and anger, loss and silence

All my lies and so much wine spilled in violence

It was not what I had wanted, to be dying

but now Im alive again, because

You gave me back my life, vida mia

It was almost too late but you found me

Made me strong again when you

Wrapped your love around me

You gave me back my youth

Showed me what is truth

You are my only life now, vida mia

Youve given me your whole self

To replace the one I lost

You knew just what to do to set me free

Completed by your love, Ive been renewed

A restless heart and tortured soul found peace in you

You did it all, no thought to the cost

You gave me back my life, vida mia

It was almost too late but you found me

Made me strong again when you

Wrapped your love around me

You gave me back my youth

Showed me what is truth

You are my only life now, vida mia
