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
Nothin' would ever be the same
