It starts with a night in the desert
New Mexico stars in the sky
Salt and a lime and tequila
The warmth of the fire in your eyes
It's not the way that you say that you love me
It's the touch of your hands on my skin
The touch of your lips, your breath on my body
They tell me you love me again
We danced to the lilt of the banda
Trumpets and sweet guitarron
We kissed and you held me
Our hearts beat together
By the light of the Santa Fe moon
It's not the way that you say that you love me
It's the touch of your hands on my skin
The touch of your lips, your breath on my body
They tell me you love me again
It's not the words that I love so dearly
It's the far away look in your eyes
It's not the way that you say that you love me
It's the touch of your hands on my skin
The touch of your lips, your breath on my body
They tell me you love me again
