lyrics

There's a notion between us, my love
A notion of powder and dust
Somehow I was blind but now I can see

As you walk through this world Rosalie
Every step is one closer to me
As love we will find, what the others can't see
Your letters in mind, I love you Rosalie

Let the world spin you closer to me
Take a chance on us Rosalie
As love we begun to find a world that is free

I want to dance with you Rosalie
I want to dance with you Rosalie
To the new years' just time
To bring you closer to me
The whispers are mine, te amo Rosalie

May 17, 1952
Dear Rosie
The happiest Sunday of my life Rosalie
Spending a nice, quiet day with you at home alone

December 26, 1952
Dear Joe
My darling, I'm so in love with you
I guess you know you left me speechless when you broke the news
Everything went round and round

How I wish days like those 12 would last forever

Ma and Pa aren't too happy about it
But it's harder on them, for I'll be leaving

I hope that soon, my darling
God will make all our dreams come true

I've started to take a long, hard look at all my surroundings
And at all the people I'm so crazy about
It's going to be harder than I thought leaving all this behind

I love you, can't stand being away from you
I love you

Now remember, darling
I've been here all my life
But with my Joe at my side
I won't be able to complain

So never take our love, Rosalie
You'll never break this love, Rosalie
To the new year's just time
That's brought you closer to me
The whispers are mine, te amo, Rosalie

Your letters are mine
I love you Rosalie
I love you Rosalie
I love you Rosalie
I love you Rosalie

about

Alejandro Escovedo Austin, Texas

The 21st century has been a time of widely successful excursion through music that only a few American musicians get to create. Between adventurous solo albums, continuing collaborations with other musicians and an ever-growing sense of boundary-pushing, Alejandro Escovedo has created his own definition of what a modern rock artist can accomplish. ... more
