Cuánto he esperado este momento
Cuánto he esperado que estuvieras así
Cuánto he esperado que me hablaras
Cuánto he esperado que vinieras a mí
Yo sé bien lo que has vivido
Yo sé bien por qué has llorado
Yo sé bien lo que has sufrido
Pues de tu lado no me he ido
Pues nadie te ama como yo
Nadie te ama como yo
Mira la cruz
Esa es mi más grande prueba
Nadie te ama como yo
Mira la cruz
Fue por tí, fue porque te amo
Nadie te ama como yo
Yo sé bien lo que me dices
Aunque a veces no me hables
Sé bien lo que en tí sientes
Aunque nunca lo compartes
Yo a tu lado he caminado
Junto a tí yo siempre he ido
Y aún a veces te he cargado
Yo he sido tu mejor amigo
