It was a hot night
the crowd was hangin' in the neighborhood
everybody there was lookin' so cool
everyone was feelin' so good
now, mister puente
they said he'd be here by ten-thirty
said he was comin' back to his roots again
to finds some old friends

the night that Tito played
my life forever changed
I felt my heart and soul come alive
I felt it all
movin' and swayin' under the moon
prayin' to the rhythm of a puente tune
the night that Tito played
nothin' was ever the same

there was Romona
she came uptown from corona
right there on the stairway of the subway train
we danced real slow
(she was heaven to know)
she whispered secrets
the way she kissed me it was perfect
we held on in the shadows of the city lights
oh, it felt so right

the night that Tito played
my life forever changed
I felt my heart and soul come alive
I felt it all
movin' and swayin' under the moon
prayin' to the rhythm of a puente tune
the night that Tito played
nothin' was ever the same

the night that Tito played
my life forever changed
I felt my heart and soul come alive
I felt it all
movin' and swayin' under the moon
prayin' to the rhythm of a puente tune
the night that Tito played
