Two strangers passing on the sidewalk
Barely brush each other's hand
He says "I'm sorry"
She says "Don't worry"
And that is how it all began

A few short days and night together
And it's like they were meant to be
Lying there with her he softly whispers
Just think what we were so recently

Strangers, strangers
The world greatest lovers
Last week we were strangers

Two strangers passing in the hallway
Barely touch each other's heart
Now they're pretending
Two shadows blending
But they're a million miles apart

Soon she'll be packing up her suitcase
They'll be dividing all the blame
They know how they started
Now empty hearted
They don't have a clue how they became

Strangers, strangers
The world greatest lovers
And now they are strangers
The world's greatest lovers
Have turned into strangers
Strangers, strangers

Ashes
He's nothing but ashes
No feelings have lasted
No amor remains
Ashes
That's all that our past is
He's nothing but ashes
From a cold old flame

I saw your face when
He waltzed in here
But those old embers
Haven't burned for years
The light that's shining
In my eyes
Is for the one that
I'm with tonight

Ashes
He's nothing but ashes
No feelings have lasted
No amor remains
Ashes
That's all that our past is
He's nothing but ashes
From a cold old flame

No I don't blame you
For having some doubts
But when he left me
That fuego burned out
So don't be thinking
There's still a spark
'Cause he could never
Tear us apart

Ashes
He's nothing but ashes
No feelings have lasted
No amor remains
Ashes
That's all that our past is
He's nothing but ashes
From a cold old flame
He's nothing but ashes
From a cold old flame

When tu are old and tired and gray
Wear tu overcoat on sunny days
When your Valiente tales have all been told
I'll ask for them when tu are old

When tu are old and full of sleep
And death no longer makes tu weep
When your body aches with cold
I'll warm your corazón when tu are old

You'll still be the same to me
A comfort and a mystery
And I will be old too see
I'll need someone to comfort me

When tu are old and pale and gone
And a gentle hand is all tu want
I will give tu mine to hold
And I'll be here when tu are old
Yes I will give tu mine to hold
And I'll be here when tu are old

He sits all alone in his easy chair
Staring back on his lost yesterdays
Long before he encountered the bottle
And the demons that drove her away

In his hand he is holding her photograph
Her image all tear-stained and worn
Tonight he's embracing reality
And he curses the día he was born

And the darkness still echoes her warning
tu can't have two loves in your life
Now the things that will haunt him
Until the día that he dies
Is the smell of cheap whiskey
And the sound of goodbye

Since the hora that she left he's been sober
And each breath that he draws makes him think
About the light of his life gone forever
When he traded her amor for a drink

And the darkness still echoes her warning
tu can't have two loves in your life
Now the things that will haunt him
Until the día that he dies
Is the smell of cheap whiskey
And the sound of goodbye
The smell of cheap whiskey
And the sound of goodbye

The way tu treat me baby
Cheat and tell me lies
I guess I shouldn't care at all
But still I sympathize
'Cause tu got corazón trouble comin' on
Yeah tu got corazón trouble comin' on
Well tu think that tu don't need me baby
But you're gonna miss me when I'm gone

tu say that amor can't touch you
tu feel no pain at all
tu think that you're above it baby
But I believe you'll fall
'Cause tu got corazón trouble comin' on
Yeah tu got corazón trouble comin' on
Well you'll get down on tu knees baby
Begging me to come back home

tu tell me you'll find someone else
But no one's gonna care
'Cause tu have left a trail
Of broken hearts everywhere
Now tu got corazón trouble comin' on
Yeah tu got corazón trouble comin' on
Well you'll know just how it feels baby
When you're left here all alone

I tried to hold our amor together
But tu let us fall apart
Now your leaving me for someone else
Taking what's left of my heart
But this time the pain don't feel that same
I'm not aching like I should
'Cause loving tu has hurt so bad
That losing tu feels good

I know you'll come back running to me
When the thrill is dead and gone
And tu realize the amor tu need
Was right here all along
When tu try to restore what we had before
There's no way tu ever could
'Cause loving tu has hurt so bad
That losing tu feels good

Don't get me wrong I'll still long to hold tu every night
But my corazón can't take another break
When there's no relief in sight

I guess you're wonderin' why I haven't cried
'Cause usually I would
But loving tu has hurt so bad
That losing tu feels good

If there was a way to make tu stay
I wouldn't if I could
'Cause loving tu has hurt so bad
That losing tu feels good
