Santana

Songwriter: Carlos Santana Chris Solberg

Producer: Bill Szymczyk

Well, hello, what's your name?
Can I take you by the hand?
Won't you please come with me
To a place of ecstasy?
Paradise by the sun
Girl, I'm sure we'll have some fun
By your eyes I can see
That you want to be with me
I've been waiting for so long
Now that I've found you
Ain't no way I'm gonna let you go

Chorus:
Let me inside
Open up your heart
Come on and
Let me inside
Open up your heart

Night is clear, moon is bright
Stars are shining everywhere
In my arms you'll be safe
There's no need to be afraid
It's a warm summer night
And the temperature is right
Let your hair hang low
Girl, I want to feel the flow
I've been waiting for so long
Now that I've got you
Ain't no way I'm gonna let you go

Chorus

Carlos Augusto Alves Santana (born July 20, 1947 in Autlán de Navarro, Jalisco) is a Mexican and American musician who became famous in the late 1960s and early 1970s with his band, Santana, which pioneered a fusion of rock and Latin American music. Carlos prefers to only play and leave lead vocals to guest singers. The band’s sound featured his melodic, blues-based guitar lines set against Latin and African rhythms featuring percussion instruments such as timbales and congas not generally heard in rock music. He experienced a resurgence of popularity and critical acclaim in the late 1990s. In 2003 Rolling Stone magazine listed Santana at number 20 on their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. He has won ten Grammy Awards and three Latin Grammy Awards.
