Lyrics
Life is filled with glory
Now that I know this love was meant to be
Each kiss tells the story
While my heart rings
And sings our melody, dear
Chorus:
I love you, that’s what my heart is saying
While every breeze is playing
Our Cuban love song
I love you for all the joy you brought me
The lovely night you taught me
Our Cuban love song
One melody will always thrill my heart
One kiss will cheer me when we’re far apart
I love you with such a tender passion
And only you could fashion
Our Cuban love song
