Fw: REGRETS OF THE DYING

I have to start doing something, so I do not have to regret then!
"REGRETS OF THE DYING", Inspiration and Chai

1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
2. I wish I didn't work so hard.
3. I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings.
4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.

[Music] Has Amado Una Mujer de Veras? (Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman)


Cuando la ames
dile que vive en tus sueños,
que no habrá ninguna más que ella para ti.

Y cuando le entregues
la promesa de tu amor eterno.
Sabrás si has amado tanto,
si has amado a una mujer de veras.

Cuando la ames
dile que vive en sus sueños.

Sabrás si has amado tanto,
si has amado a una mujer de veras.
