Ricky Martin

[Verse 1]
Oh, it's the middle of the night
And i'm reaching out for you
In the darkness i can feel your touch break through
When i look into your eyes
And your skin's against my skin
I will hold you until the sun comes crashing in
Where would i be now
Without the tenderness that you possess

[Chorus]
The touch
The touch that makes me strong
That keeps me holding on
I come to you when times are tough
Your love is just enough
To lift me up so high
There's nothing i won't give
To be with you, to reach for you
I live to for touch

[Verse 2]
Oh, it's the middle of the night
And i'm reaching out for you
In the darkness i can feel your touch break through
When i look into your eyes
And your skin's against my skin
I will hold you until the sun comes crashing in
Where would i be now
Without the tenderness that you possess

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Oh, i want to be the one you need
I need to be the one you see
I gotta justify the faith you have in me
You're the beauty in my life
You're the sun that lights my soul
You're the other half i need to make me whole
Who would i be now
Without the warmth you bring to everything

[Chorus]

All my life has been a journey here to you
Every road and river brought me closer to the touch

[Chorus][x2]

Enrique Martín Morales (born December 24, 1971), commonly known as Ricky Martin, is a Puerto Rican singer, actor and author. Martin began his career at age 12 with the all-boy pop group Menudo. After five years with the group, he released several Spanish-language solo albums throughout the 1990s. He also acted on stage and on TV in Mexico, where he achieved modest stardom. In 1994, he appeared on the US TV soap opera General Hospital, playing a Puerto Rican singer.

In early 1999, after releasing several albums in Spanish, Martin performed “The Cup of Life” at the 41st Annual Grammy Awards show, which became a catalyst in bringing Latin pop to the forefront of the U.S. music scene. Following its success, Martin released “Livin' la Vida Loca”, which helped him attain enormous success worldwide; it is generally seen as the song that began the Latin pop explosion of 1999 and made the transition easier for other Spanish-speaking artists to move into the English-speaking market. Since its release, the song has sold over 8 million copies, making it one of the best selling singles of all time. His first English-language album (also titled Ricky Martin), has sold 22 million copies and is one of the best selling albums of all time. His other studio albums Me Amarás (1993), A Medio Vivir (1995), Vuelve (1998), Sound Loaded (2000), Almas del Silencio (2003), Life (2005), Música + Alma + Sexo (2011), and A Quien Quiera Escuchar (2015). In 2018, he portrayed Antonio D'Amico on The Assassination of Gianni American Crime Story for which he received a nomination for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie.
