Santana

Songwriter: Robbie Patton

Producer: Val Garay

It's so hard just waitin'
But I guess that's what I have to do
My poor heart keeps on breakin'
With every moment I'm away from you
I know you're smart takin'
Your time
‘Cause of what it cost you
Once before
But it's not then and I love
You a lot
Now and forever

Chorus:
How long do I wait before you make up your mind
How long I wonder
How long before you take away the hardest of times
How long I wonder

It's unfair when two who care
Have to face such a perilous sea
Despair lingers everywhere
Like a cloud nobody can reach
I understand you're afraid of it all
Love is one hell of a step
I'll be there if you panic or fall
No matter what the depth

Chorus

All I can say I've already said
More than a thousand times
It's up to you to believe
Every word
Before I lose my mind

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.
