Christmas Melody from New Mexico - Aj Martinez

(John W. Wiggins/Anthony Smith/Michael Garvin) The season for the rodeo is over And he's usually back home this time of year But I haven't heard a word since He called me from Santa Fe Something in his voice said you were stealing him away New Mexico - have i lost him to your sunset Do your mountains life him higher than my love New Mexico - guess we'll have to wait and see If tomorrow's gonna bring him back to me He said he'd never seen a place more beautiful And he talked of maybe moving there someday Where the stars in the sky shine like diamonds every night I wonder if he sees those stars in someone else's eyes New Mexico - have i lost him to your sunset Do your mountains life him higher than my love New Mexico - guess we'll have to wait and see If tomorrow's gonna bring him back to me

My father taught me home is where the hurt is So I built a fortress Where I lived alone He said ships were never meant to have a harbor So I've worn this armor I've fought and flown I was raised a soldier Put my weapons down to hold you Is a kiss an act of war? I just tried to keep you warm Even though I couldn't stay No, you never looked away Now I can't look away Would you meet me in the middle? Could we both stop keeping score? There's a battle I must fight alone It's you I'm fighting for If I call off the battalion Break my walls down stone by stone Tear down my defenses I can build your heart a home And if I did Would you come home? Together we could quiet all the noises Drown out the voices Play our own song Boys becoming men under the desert sky But something dark inside Said it was wrong I was raised a soldier Put my weapons down to hold you Is a kiss an act of war? I just tried to keep you warm Even though I couldn't stay No, you never looked away Now I won't look away Would you meet me in the middle? Could we both stop keeping score? There's a battle I must fight alone It's you I'm fighting for If I call off the battalion Break my walls down stone by stone Tear down my defenses I can build your heart a home And if I did Would you come home? I still find my father's shrapnel Buried beneath my skin But I've begun to heal in all the places Your hands have been Would you meet me in the middle? Could we both stop keeping score? There's a battle I must fight alone It's you I'm fighting for If I call off the battalion Break my walls down stone by stone Tear down my defenses I can build your heart a home And if I did Would you come home? Wish I found the words when we were 17 You were the best of me You are the best of me

Cuando recibas esta carta tú Seguro abriste ya ese sobre azul Que a tu puerta muy temprano llegó con doce rosas en el interior El calendario te dira el porqué, el remitente te hablará de mi Y otra vez mi recuerdo brillara con más luz Sentirás tal vez amor que tú No me sigues hablando y pensaras que mil Cosas correras junto a las rosas que mande Son doce rosas que hablarán por mi Son doce rosas que te gritan vuelve Y cada una significa un mes llorandote Son doce rosas que hablarán de ti Del gran amor que para mi tu eres Se que sientes lo mismo por mi Perdóname Sin ti no se que hacer Cariño Aleja vamos ya ese orgullo Que solamente nos tortura más Un amor como el nuestro no se puede apagar Mira dentro de tu corazón Tu tampoco has dejado de quereme Piensas en volver a verme tal como lo pienso yo Son doce rosas que hablarán por mi Son doce rosas que te gritan vuelve Y cada una significa un mes llorandote Son doce rosas que hablarán de ti Del gran amor que para mi tu eres Se que sientes lo mismo por mi Perdóname Sin ti no se que hacer Y por si acaso piensas no volver Recuerda siempre que yo te amare Son doce rosas que hablarán por mi Son doce rosas que te gritan vuelve Y cada una significa un mes llorandote Son doce rosas que hablarán de ti Del gran amor que para mi tu eres Se que sientes lo mismo por mi Perdóname Sin ti no se que hacer (Son doce rosas que hablaran por mi Son doce rosas que te gritan vuelve) Y cada una significa un mes llorandote Son doce rosas que hablaran de ti Del gran amor que para mi tu eres Se que sientes lo mismo por mi Perdóname
