ENRIQUE IGLESIAS - HERO
Let Me Be Your Hero
Would You Dance, If I Asked You To Dance?
Would You Run And Never Look Back?
Would You Cry, If You Saw Me Crying?
Would You Save My Soul, Tonight?
Would You Tremble, If I Touched Your Lips?
Would You Laugh? Oh Please, Tell Me This
Now Would You Die, For The One You Loved?
Hold Me In Your Arms, Tonight
I Can Be Your Hero, Baby
I Can Kiss Away The Pain
I Will Stand By You Forever
You Can Take My Breath Away
Would You Swear, That You'll Always Be Mine
Or Would You Lie?
Would You Run And Hide?
Am I In Too Deep? Have I Lost My Mind?
I Don't Care, You're Here Tonight
I Can Be Your Hero, Baby
I Can Kiss Away The Pain
I Will Stand By You Forever
You Can Take My Breath Away
Oh, I Just Wanna Hold You
I Just Wanna Hold You
Oh, Yeah
Am I In Too Deep? Have I Lost My Mind?
Well, I Don't Care
You're Here Tonight
I Can Be Your Hero, Baby
I Can Kiss Away The Pain (Oh Yeah)
I Will Stand By You Forever
You Can Take My Breath Away
I Can Be Your Hero
I Can Kiss Away The Pain
And I Will Stand By You Forever
You Can Take My Breath Away
You Can Take My Breath Away
I Can Be Your Hero
