Acércate más, y más, y más
Pero mucho más
Y bésame así, así, así 
Como quieras tú 

Pero besa pronto
Porque estoy sufriendo, 
¿no lo estás tú viendo? 
Que lo estoy queriendo 
Sin quererlo tu

Acércate más, y más, y más
Pero mucho más
Y bésame así, así, así
Como quieras tú

¿Es que tal vez pretendes 
Tu desesperarme? 
¡Ven por favor a darme 
Ese beso tuyo que te pido yo!

Nat King Cole

Nathaniel Adams Coles (March 17, 1919 – February 15, 1965), known professionally as Nat King Cole, was a musician who first came to prominence as a leading jazz pianist. He owes most of his popular musical fame to his soft baritone voice, which he used to perform in big band and jazz genres. He was one of the first black Americans to host a television variety show, and has maintained worldwide popularity since his death. more »
