Ben E. King and The Drifters - I count the tears

I HAVE COUNTED EVERY DAY SINCE YOU'VE BEEN AWAY

Recordamos el segundo aniversario del fallecimiento del cantante estadounidense Ben E. King con I count the tears, canción de Mort Shuman (música) y Doc Pomus (letra) que el cantante grabó con The Drifters en 1960, poco antes de proseguir su carrera en solitario.

I count the tears  (lyrics)

Na na na na na na, late at nite
Na na na na na na, late at nite

I have counted every day since you've been away
It seemed like a thousand years
And at na na na na na na late at night
Na na na na na na late at night
I'll sit and count the tears

I have counted all your lies, all your alibis
I'm a guy believes just what he hears
And at na na na na na na, late at night
Na na na na na na, late at night
I'll sit and count the tears

She's gone and found somebody new
He may be happy now but soon
He'll be counting everyday that she's been away
It'll seem like a thousand years

And at na na na na na na, late at night
Na na na na na na, late at night
He'll sit and count his tears
He'll sit and count his tears
He'll sit and count his tears
He'll sit....and count his tears

  1. No lo conocía ni a él ni a la canción. La idea de Javi de publicar también la letra en su idioma original ayuda bastante a apreciar la canción y a su intérprete.
