Estas semanas sin verte
Me parecieron anos
Tanto te quise besar
Que me duelen los labios

Mira que el miedo nos hizo
Cometer estupideces
Nos dejo sordos y ciegos
Tantas veces

Y un día después
De la tormenta
Cuando menos piensas sale el sol
De tanto sumar
Pierdes la cuenta
Porque uno y uno
No siempre son dos
Cuando menos piensas
Sale el sol

Te llore hasta el extremo
De lo que era posible
Cuando creí lo que era
Invencible
No hay mal que dure cien anos
Ni cuerpo que lo aguante
Y lo mejor siempre espera
Adelante

Y un día después
De la tormenta
Cuando menos piensas sale el sol
De tanto sumar

Pierdes la cuenta
Porque uno y uno
No siempre son dos
Cuando menos piensas
Sale el sol

Cuando menos piensas
Sale el sol

Y un día después
De la tormenta
Cuando menos piensas sale el sol
De tanto sumar
Pierdes la cuenta
Porque uno y uno no
Siempre son dos

Y un día después
Y un día después
Sale el sol

Y un día después
De la tormenta
Cuando menos piensas sale el sol
De tanto sumar
Pierdes la cuenta
Porque uno y uno no siempre son dos

Cuando menos piensas sale el sol
