Gloria Estefan
I See Your Smile
[EMILIO, spoken]
I think it's time the Miami Latin Boys change their name.
(sung)
I get a little tongue twisted
Every time I talk to you
When I see you
And I'm so glad that you just missed it
The way I stared to memorize your face
To kiss you in my mind
Love you all the time
'Cause when I close my eyes
I still can see your smile
It's bright enough to light my life
Out of my darkest hour
Please believe it's true
When I tell you I-
[GLORIA]
I had to start taking chances
Searching for the truth in love
That's in my heart
[GLORIA & EMILIO]
Tell me…
[EMILIO]
If I made the wrong advances
If I made you feel ashamed
[GLORIA]
'Cause I know I have to do this
Would you hold my hand right through it?
[GLORIA & EMILIO]
'Cause when I close my eyes
I still see your smile
It's bright enough to light my life
Out of my darkest hour
[EMILIO]
Please believe it's true
[GLORIA]
When I tell you I love you
Oh!
[EMILIO]
I have to let you know just what could happen
Yes, I have to let you know the truth
[GLORIA]
I know I've got to do this
Would you hold my hand right through it?
[EMILIO]
Would you?
[GLORIA & EMILIO]
'Cause when I close my eyes
I still can see your smile
It's bright enough to light my life
Out of my darkest hour
[EMILIO]
'Cause when I close my eyes
I still see your smile
It's bright enough to light my life
Out of my darkest hour
I know now this is true
When I tell you I
Love you
(Audience applause.)
[GLORIA FAJARDO, spoken]
I am talking to Gloria Maria! You think I don't see what's going on? The way you ignore him when I'm in the room? Please. You're nineteen, you know nineteen things. I'm forty-eight, so I know forty-eight things.
[GLORIA, spoken]
Why does she hate him so much?
[CONSUELO, spoken]
Because he didn't make her the lead singer of his band?
[GLORIA, spoken]
I don't understand.
[CONSUELO, spoken]
No, you don't. She's just… When your mother was young, 20th Century Fox asked her to sign a contract. They wanted to fly her from Cuba all the way to Hollywood to be the Spanish voice of Shirley Temple!
[REBECCA, spoken]
What happened?
[CONSUELO, spoken]
Your grandfather forbade it. "The family comes first," he yelled, and that was the end of that. And then your mother watched her dream fly away without her.
[GLORIA, spoken]
Was she good?
[CONSUELO, spoken]
Good?
