2025 Competition Lyrics Entry:

It has been centuries by Adolfo Gutierrez

Lyrics

… It Has been centuries
Since we walk apart
Since my love broke apart
Since my hart got broken apart
Since I walked away…
It has been centuries
Since that day, that awful day
Since that date, the last date
Since that view, that glorious last view of you.
It has been centuries
It has been centuries
Since You,
Since you,
Since you…
It has been centuries
You may not know
I’m sure you don’t know
How glorious, how great,
How magnificent, how perfect,
Yes.. incredible perfect you were
Through my eyes
Through my hart
Through my soul
It has been centuries
Since my soul became bitter
Since my hart became harsh
Since my life became useless
It has been centuries
Yes, we were young
Yes, I was naive
Yes, I was naive
And, yes, I still naive
Centuries ago, a girl found me,
Centuries ago, I found a girl,
Centuries ago
She made me believe in a perfect love,
Centuries ago
She shared with me a perfect love
Yes, we were young
Yes, I was naive
Yes, I was naive
And yes,
I still naive
Centuries ago
I was young
Centuries ago
I was lucky
Centuries ago
I got blessed
Because, centuries ago
I found one love
I found the love
I found your love
You, yes … you
You smiling
You talking
You drawing
You singing
You, yes you
Elaborating
Writing
imagining
Creating
Yes you
So intriguing
So absent
So cold
So…
Centuries ago
