On Your Feet - I See Your Smile Lyrics

Broadway 2016 - The Story of Emilio & Gloria Estefan
On Your Feet! the Musical - I See Your Smile Lyrics

EMILIO: (spoken)
I think it's time the Miami Latin Boys change their name.

(sung)
I get a little tongue twisted
Every time I talk to you
When I see you
And I'm so glad that you just missed it
The way I stared to memorize your face
To kiss you in my mind
Love you all the time

'Cause when I close my eyes
I still can see your smile
It's bright enough to light my life
Out of my darkest hour
Please believe it's true
When I tell you I-

GLORIA:
I had to start taking chances
Searching for the truth in love
That's in my heart

GLORIA & EMILIO:
Tell me…

EMILIO:
If I made the wrong advances
If I made you feel ashamed

GLORIA:
'Cause I know I have to do this
Would you hold my hand right through it?

GLORIA & EMILIO:
'Cause when I close my eyes
I still see your smile
It's bright enough to light my life
Out of my darkest hour

EMILIO:
Please believe it's true

GLORIA:
When I tell you I love you
Oh!

EMILIO:
I have to let you know just what could happen
Yes, I have to let you know the truth

GLORIA:
I know I've got to do this
Would you hold my hand right through it?

EMILIO:
Would you?

GLORIA & EMILIO:
'Cause when I close my eyes
I still can see your smile
It's bright enough to light my life
Out of my darkest hour

EMILIO:
'Cause when I close my eyes
I still see your smile
It's bright enough to light my life
Out of my darkest hour

I know now this is true
When I tell you I
Love you

GLORIA FAJARDO: (spoken)
I am talking to Gloria Maria!
You think I don't see what's going on?
The way you ignore him when I'm in the room?
Please. You're nineteen, you know nineteen things.
I'm forty-eight, so I know forty-eight things.

GLORIA: (spoken)
Why does she hate him so much?

CONSUELO: (spoken)
Because he didn't make her the lead singer of his band?

GLORIA: (spoken)
I don't understand.

CONSUELO: (spoken)
No, you don't. She's just…
When your mother was young,
20th Century Fox asked her to sign a contract.
They wanted to fly her from Cuba all the way to Hollywood
to be the Spanish voice of Shirley Temple!

REBECCA: (spoken)
What happened?

CONSUELO: (spoken)
Your grandfather forbade it. "The family comes first,"
he yelled, and that was the end of that.
And then your mother watched her dream fly away without her.

GLORIA: (spoken)
Was she good?

CONSUELO: (spoken)
Good?
