Love can begin with just a smile. A smile across the room can eventually bring two people together for a lifetime. However, If that time turns out to be much shorter, sometimes that smile in your memory alone, could be really all you have left to remember that person by . . . . Forever....... Seriously . . . Just think about it.
When you think about it, there really aren't that many ballads sung by women towards men so when you hear one...especially one this well performed with heartfelt lyrics...it's wonderful. As a man, if a woman expressed her feelings to me and said "would you hold my hand right through it", I would be so touched.
Bc wmn have to tread lightly when it comes to expressing feelings or they'll be labeled "crazy." So most of the wmn men think are cold really have feelings that run miles deep...
@@sunshineofrays6977 I agree with you today it’s hard for any younger woman to express there love to that special person I grew up in 1970’s and 1980’s got married right out of HS to my HS sweetheart Joe back in September 1990 I always told Joe how much I loved him how much I appreciate his friendship over 7 years from our middle school years through our graduation times were different back then to what it’s like living in 2023 now I loss my husband Joe 4 years ago in line of duty (federal law enforcement agent) and there isn’t a day gone by that I don’t miss him that I just wish Joe was here reassuring me holding my hand telling me everything would be alright never thought I’d be in this spot in my life 53 years old already loss the love of my life looking where do I go from here I honestly don’t want to be involved with someone else not at this point in my life I may live another 25 years at most if you go off average age my family has passed away at I could be wrong I don’t know that answer I’m guessing at it it’s harder on younger women to express love today most have grown up in broken household parents divorced or in jail and all they have seen is how men and women act fight among each other and not care if kids see this or not that’s one of the biggest problems today everyone wants the easy way out when faced with issues or problems when together no one stands back and just listen to one another work the issues out god Joe and I had our arguments are little fights Joe and I always said when our daughter was around us there was NO ARGUING AMONG US and we did that we didn’t want our daughter to see or hear when we had a fight heck we use to take our arguments outside in our car/truck just so our daughter didn’t here it I will admit there’s way too much of that going on today and it’s only getting worse with each generation something has to change it’s matter of time when My apologies being long winded just giving my opinion here
I am so sorry for the loss of the love of your life , we are the same age , and I can't imagine how painful that must be. And to die in the line of duty , what a wonderful man you had throughout the years. Please don't say sorry for expressing how you feel , it is hard to know where to go in life after such an awful experience. I just hope that you can find strength in the time ahead ....🙏
Cheers! I had played this song many times along the road to visit my love for 12 years but it ended 3 years ago. By the way, I still love this song and when I play it on the road, I just realise that I'm driving to somewhere to meet someone nice some day. ✌️😊
I'm just a broken-down old man now, but this song reminded me of the year 1988 when I was a young man in love. Regrettably, the love was unrequited and I still wonder whatever happened to her.
The beautiful thing about this amazing video is I met the love of my life at that diner after leaving some friends at a local club. Lindy was in there alone and we struck up a conversation. It was 93 and 11 wonderful years later we were unbreakable. Cancer took him at 36 and my life has changed forever. I miss him everyday, but all I have to do is close my eyes and I do see his smile. Miss you so much Lin. rip my angel I love you till the end of time
This song is full of romantic overtones all the way through. I feel this way for a very special man! You know who you are. Listen to it again from me. It's beautiful!
There is no way this song could ever have been written by someone who didn't know the love and loss of someone special, something magical that may only happen once in a lifetime. Every word, every line, sums up perfectly that feeling of love when it's right and good. This song articulates the very things we want to say to someone while we still have the chance, but don't because we are too afraid. The moment passes and all we are left with are memories and a feeling of emptiness that time never seems to heal.
@ Razor that is beautifully put. And see, when it's too late to say it, the person lives sometimes with regret for the rest of their life here on earth. That's why we can NEVER take people, love, family, nothing for granted, because it's only for a limited of a time. Someone 3 years ago hurt me to the very core of my soul, I thought I would never recover, but everyday, I make the choice to move on and let go, because I want to love again one day.
My 1999 my wife and I were separated for 6 months. This song helped me get thru it. This woman's voice is one of the most beautiful sounds my ears have ever heard. Only God could create something that wonderful. She is blessed.
I totally agree. She has so many great songs, but this seems to be my favorite and it evokes the same emotions in me. Cuts Both Ways is a close second, but it's so hard to rate the others.
Well, for me, this is equal to "Don't Wanna Lose You" and the other great hits of hers. This song really hits me hard in all the feels. Tears just stream down my face.
one of my friends died unexpectanally and I played this song over and over after he died and cried. I miss you David. such a good guy. Great therapist. value your good friends-they will be gone in the blink of an eye.
this song has so many layers of meanings. many will hear the romantic overtones and leave it there. for me, it has another meaning - my mother passed away in 2017 and i took care of her every day for 6 months through 10 hospitals, 3 rehab centers, and 1 hospice. for me, when she says i get a little tongue twisted every time i talk to you when i see you, i imagine my mother in rehab sleeping at night and me sitting there wondering, when i leave tonight, will this be the last time i see her alive? so when i close my eyes, i still can see my mother's smile shining from her bed and i hear her voice saying my name. and the second half of the song is an inner monologue that plays over and over in my soul. tell me if made the wrong advances, tell me if i've made you feel ashamed - this question pushes me to do my best to impress my mother. there are ceilings in love and if romance is your ceiling, you're missing out on other deeper and richer ways to love someone.
I know the feeling. My mother passed away this year. She always loved Gloria Estefan's music. And the line cause when I close my eyes I still can see your smile. It's so true. It happens to me all of the time.
When I was in high school, I had the biggest crush on this guy and he had a great smile, and when I closed my eyes, I could picture him smiling, so whenever I heard this song, I thought of him.
In my humble opinion this song is Gloria Stephan's, greatest hit. A beautiful one that stands the test of time. A the memories we left behind. Yes indeed.
I met someone very soon after a very abusive relationship. And I carried that mentally abused mindset into that next relationship. I wasn't ready and it ended. And because of sooo many bad decisions I lost him. I take ownership for my mistakes. Everyday I have regrets. EVERYDAY MY HEART HURTS. 💔 This man was the most AMAZING person I have ever met in my entire life. He literally picked me up & swept me off my feet when we first met and did not want to put me down. We laughed together, played together, had the most deepest meaningful honest conversations together, cried together, sang together and of course argued together. But, I loved him. I loved him like I've NEVER known LOVE could actually really ever EXIST this way. Something undescribable to express in words. He made me feel soooo many emotions but most of all he made me feel LOVED. And, I hope maybe somewhere deep inside I made him feel the same within his heart. No Matter what. And, he loved me with such a passion that because of my fears and trauma I wasn't able to recognize soon enough. I lost him for not recognizing that all he wanted to do was LOVE ME! I hurt him but in hurting him, I ultimately HURT MYSELF more in the end for not valuing the DIAMOND I had all along in front of me that loved me with every inch of himself. Hurting him was never intentional. I never healed and I lost him. I was too late to show him that I was wrong and that if given just 1 opportunity I would have given my entire life to make it up to him. To show him I love him with my ACTIONS and not just WORDS. I've tried to make things better and tell him I was wrong. But he didn't want to believe me. And, I can understand him that he lost his trust in me after so long. But if he only knew that I would have given him my entire self to make things work. In the end there's nothing more valuable than LOVE!!! He would tell me there's so many people that are together but don't love each other but we do! I would give anything to hear him say that to me again! Because we did LOVE EACH OTHER and I STILL DO LOVE HIM! AND he was RIGHT! I still love him. I carry him in my heart every single day. Looking into his eyes was like looking into his soul. I felt him to be genuine, honest and sincere when it came to his love for me. I just wasn't able to see it then. Until my last breath I will LOVE him and would have LOVED to be his partner in everyway and ultimately be a family. I still have faith in us but I ask god for guidance to keep going. My heart is broken but I learned many lessons in this relationship and especially losing him. He asked me multiple times if I would care for him the way I cared for my father while he was sick and dying of cancer. And, If he only knew I would give everything to care for him in EVERY WAY, EVERYDAY until MY LAST BREATH! AND, THE ANSWER IS YES! I would care for you for as long as I live. I haven't been able to move on with anyone because my heart belongs to only him. And I STRONGLY BELIEVE I WILL NEVER LOVE ANYONE ELSE BUT HIM ALWAYS UNTIL MY LAST BREATH! ABNIEL TE AMO! 7/84. 🎶"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 LOVE YOU! 🎶
A most haunting lyric sung by a most beautiful and intelligent woman. Diva - goddess, NO (she does not possess the callous attitude of some in the business), legend, YES! Yet so humble, so down to earth.
this is what's missing in most of the music today gloria singing with all that emotion and passion you just don't see this kind of singer out there anymore now it's all about that certain look and dance moves real singing talent has really taken a back seat since around the early 90s just my opinion
Mr Peabody Yeah I feel you dude, although I just heard this song for the 1st time, and I think it's OK. It's not bad, but it's not as great as I expected
I love this song so much, my wife surprised me during our wedding in 1997 and had it played when we were lighting the unity candle. Gloria is the perfect singer/songwriter. I do know Jon Secada wrote this.
I am a big fan of this woman's music and I am amazed that I'd never heard this song before. It's like when you love someone and you thought that they could not still surprise you
Watching the video brings back so many good memories of when i lived in Miami. So many friends gone and so many went separate ways.this diner is on biscayne Blvd and still remains.
Just beautiful Ms Gloria. This beautiful song brought me through some very dark days back in 93 when I lost my husband. Just lovely and thank you for your beautiful talent and strength.
The important thing to remember is that even when the person most important to you rejects you out of their life, the God who created you remains..all things pass except God's words..they, only, remain forever....
My mom bought the Gloria Estefan Greatest Hits collection cassette in 1992 when I was 6 and played it nonstop. Today, at 34, this song is one of my alarm ringtones.
I just turned 23, so I am very young to know all here songs, but this one is my favorite of all her songs, so beautiful. She knows so much about love. I am Gloria Estefan Fan, no matter what ❤️
R.H. you make me smile. You make me laugh, you make me happy. God,I pray that this goes on forever if it's your will...let it be. Let's walk this life hand in hand. I trust you Lord, you have brought this man to me at the right time in my life.
I confess that today is my first day of ever seeing the colorful diner theme music video to I See Your Smile by Gloria Estefan, a meaningful love song though definitely another music video that leaves circumstances open-ended on what happens between the main protagonist and whoever the muse is for this classic 90s pop song.
I'm a guy, and this song melts me every time I hear it. I think, one of the greatest penned songs...EVER!!! Probably my favorite song of Gloria's, besides "1, 2, 3!" She's an amazing artist whose songs just captivate your emotions, or get you up on your feet and dancing away-a songstress who makes you feel, move and think! Gloria, if I had a adulthood wish, it would be that our Cuba would be free, and that one day I could just meet you, hug you, and tell you how proud I am of the way you have represented the Cuban people in exile, elsewhere in the world, and in Miami! I'm also happy that in your life, success has dropped onto your lap. Smile fervently, love deeply, and laugh loudly! God Bless!
I agree 100% especially about Freedom for the people of Cuba. It is sad that this many years later they are still being oppressed. American Progressives make me sick when they act like Castro's Cuba is some kind of ''Paradise'' when it is only a prison. We must ALL work harder to put into political power those with the courage to right the wrong so close to our shore.
By the Gods, I finally found this song! This song has stuck with me, and somehow haunted me for a very long time. It has been a long time and I never knew the name or who it was by, just a simple chorus line that got stuck in my head. I found it, and the emotions it brings back is...heart-crushing.
It is a true and profound sensitivity this music ... It raises the soul in the strength of believing in the good it does in truly loving and in the reciprocity ...
Everytime I listen to this song, it reminds me of a guy that I liked back in college. I can still see his beautiful smile when I close my eyes. Wished I told him that I liked him too...sigh.
Very strong song which comes from a person who has lived, loved and understands the meaning of LIFE. Gloria has superb songs. Elvis Presley The Wonder Of You is also a strong song...I played it in my wedding for my wife.....
Sheila, my beloved.... I miss you so much since you died November 2003 and they see your smile or to hear your laugh is that which makes my dreams come true missing them and give you so much brings my heart to tears with just one thought. You are dearly missed, my love. Your adoring husband, Sammy
Im an african American male that loves r and b and hip hop music. My mom played Gloria Estefans music when I was a kid and her songs will NEVER get old to me. Not only is her voice melody and lyrics amazing but her songs trigger memories of growing up in the early 90s in Florida
Remembering my dear friend Rachel tonight. Gloria was just one of the many musicians we bonded over. She had a souped up stereo in her Honda Civic Coupe and we used to blast around town. We were good friends for many years. Later on we got mixed up in drugs and ended up in a quarrel and were estranged. Years roll by and were in different states now. The internet comes out so I would check now and then. Hoping to have a chance to repair things on my end now that I was older and clean. Eventually I found her obituary sadly. I was too late. 😪 Don't ever leave a loved one mad. It's not worth never seeing them again. I hope to see her on the other side. 🙏
This song came out in early 1993, a very difficult time in my life, when I thought I would lose everything and everyone important to me then.. .things barely hung on, but eventually they totally did falll apart 16 years later, and everyone is gone out of my life.. it is a beautiful emotional song that personally for me spelled a sense of pervading doom that I couldn't shake off permanently....
Such a well written, beautiful song. Gloria was definitely a gift to the music world and to fans. My sister from Cuba, I am so proud of you-the way you represent your country with class and dignity, and for all of your success! A stellar example of beauty within that shows itself in song! Quiero mi Cuba libre!
I still can see your smile..what a great song from such a beautiful voice. This song never gets old to me. If only more music can touch me like this one does.
Thirty years ago, the music world got the chance to see Gloria Estefan's smile! She has done so much to introduce the Cuban element in the American music scene.
Haven't heard this in years, it suddenly appeared in my playlist and my god the childhood memories started rushing back (I was 11 when it came out). Such a beautiful and underrated song, love it so much.
Oh, this song hits home. It is a song of someone who really misses someone and who longs that smile of that SP. Ah how bitter sweet. What a beautiful song, Gloria. This song makes this man cry huge tears. Wow. Ah, my heart, my broken heart. Wishing for it to heal and also for my ex to be healed in every way the God/the Infinite could make possible. God bless you wherever you are.
I love this song. It brings back many memories. I relate to it on a spiritual level. The lyrics are so down to earth. Gloria has been a favorite of mine since the mid 80s. On top of that she's so pretty.
When you think about it, there really aren't that many ballads sung by women towards men so when you hear one...especially one this well performed with heartfelt lyrics...it's wonderful. As a man, if a woman expressed her feelings to me and said "would you hold my hand right through it", I would be so touched.
One of the most beautiful songs!
Love can begin with just a smile. A smile across the room can eventually bring two people together for a lifetime. However, If that time turns out to be much shorter, sometimes that smile in your memory alone, could be really all you have left to remember that person by . . . . Forever....... Seriously . . . Just think about it.
That this song only reached #50 in the Billboard Hot 100 is a crime against music. This may be my favorite ballad of Gloria's ever.
I concur , it's one of the most beautiful pop song ever written and she sings it so well.
It does not quality to get a high place
Couldn’t agree more. Awesome song and she is so underrated
Hi superbook4"* Worse was the great song `` Always Tomorrow '' on the chart at position 81 and that song is one of their best songs, beautiful melody
It could be that the 80s sound was fading away by '92 so it didn't hit that big. I do remember it on VH1 as a kid back then though
I like her songs so much, gives me nostalgia listening to her music.
When you think about it, there really aren't that many ballads sung by women towards men so when you hear one...especially one this well performed with heartfelt lyrics...it's wonderful. As a man, if a woman expressed her feelings to me and said "would you hold my hand right through it", I would be so touched.

You sir , must be a gentleman to say that 👌
women were women back then, not the pigs they are now …

My apologies being long winded just giving my opinion here
I am so sorry for the loss of the love of your life , we are the same age , and I can't imagine how painful that must be. And to die in the line of duty , what a wonderful man you had throughout the years. Please don't say sorry for expressing how you feel , it is hard to know where to go in life after such an awful experience. I just hope that you can find strength in the time ahead ....🙏
Awesome song. Wow hard to believe it"s been 30 years.
Gloria Estafan had the most natural voice since Karen Carpenter
Oh my God that's so true😊😊😊😊
Yes
Yep,a gorgeous voice.
I was just gonna say that!!
Totally... .
After 23 years my marriage is definitely over. Never thought all by myself at 48 but this is it. Rain in my eyes with this beautiful song 😔
Cheers! I had played this song many times along the road to visit my love for 12 years but it ended 3 years ago. By the way, I still love this song and when I play it on the road, I just realise that I'm driving to somewhere to meet someone nice some day. ✌️😊
You can make it. Doesn't matter if short or long years of marriage. If It's time to let go, let them go and start new life just like what I did.
You'll find ..LOVE again (when least expected) < 3
Sending my love💔
It will get better. It did for me. God provided a very special someone who is worth than rubies. Seven years though.
I'm just a broken-down old man now, but this song reminded me of the year 1988 when I was a young man in love.
Regrettably, the love was unrequited and I still wonder whatever happened to her.
I hope she’ll one day see this comment by you. Sorry you felt that way. It’s never easy loving someone but not receiving it back.
This helped to get me through my darkest hour early last year 😢when my wife passed away , thanks Gloria for this song .❤ .
Sorry for your loss 😢
My deepest condolences 🙏🏿🙏🏿💐💐💐
My favourite Gloria Estefan of all time 🖤
..under rated song.. and Gloria is a legend
Love Gloria!!
@@fontanabanana love gloria greatings ria rodts
Yes, you are right. I think Gloria is unfortunately underrated, but I don't know the reason. 😖
True and True
Oke banget
Gloria was and still is absolutely phenomenal !!! All around she still got it. Love her ballads so much.

Awwwwwww, I am so sorry to read this..may his beautiful soul forever rest in peace amen
She was the queen of cool..❤. Back in the 80’s and early 90’s.
Who ever gave this song thumbs down has never experienced true love. Anyone who has ever found their soul mate can relate to this song.
Sometimes a song gets underrated. This certainly fits that category. Can't tell you how many times I've listened to this.
Agree 100 percent. I always though this was one of her strongest songs and a beautiful song
This song is full of romantic overtones all the way through. I feel this way for a very special man! You know who you are. Listen to it again from me. It's beautiful!

What beautiful words Razor. You said it so perfectly
***** excellently said! You couldn't have phrased it any better.
That's it. You got it just right.
I danced with my new bride at our wedding reception to this song ❤
that's beautiful
My 1999 my wife and I were separated for 6 months. This song helped me get thru it. This woman's voice is one of the most beautiful sounds my ears have ever heard. Only God could create something that wonderful. She is blessed.
Serf Dude that's good
I know EXACTLY what you mean, God bless you!!!
God bless you, and I hope you came back together happily. I really love this song.
love the corvett in video!! just so easy to listen to gloria
Absolutely true
My favorite from her...still brings tears to my eyes every time
The carpenters
Bella Donna . me too and I admit it, I' m a sentimental fool. Love this song with all my heart.
kingdom7 me to
Bella Donna not even sure how ended up here but its a sweet song.
I totally agree. She has so many great songs, but this seems to be my favorite and it evokes the same emotions in me. Cuts Both Ways is a close second, but it's so hard to rate the others.
"Please believe it's true when I tell you I love you" this line always moves my heart.
Never had the opportunity to tell him ... RIP (1968-93)
One of the most powerful pop song that exist. It's a pure delight! Gloria Estefan's legacy in music is really heavy.
The gorgeous Blue Corvette in the video is just an added bonus.
@@honestone490That's right!
Cuba's Senstaion
@@carrang-r9w Yes!
This songs reminds me of my first love her name was Valerie 31 yrs ago
this should have been one of her biggest hits. pure talent
to many, this was her biggest hit :)
Well, for me, this is equal to "Don't Wanna Lose You" and the other great hits of hers. This song really hits me hard in all the feels. Tears just stream down my face.
I totally agree, it's one of my favorites from this fabulous woman.
Love me some Gloria! Absolutely gorgeous!
The girl with the golden voice. Don't you just adore her in this video. She really pours her heart out for that special someone.
haven't heard this in 20 years. today I found it and it brought tears to my eyes.
Scott Hempstead It's amazing how a certain song, or smell, can bring back so many wonderful memories.
Scott Hempstead i remember watching this when i was like 4 dodmt really understand the meaning now like 22 yrs obviously i understand it
That's me today, 3 years after you :)
one of my friends died unexpectanally and I played this song over and over after he died and cried. I miss you David. such a good guy. Great therapist. value your good friends-they will be gone in the blink of an eye.
this song has so many layers of meanings. many will hear the romantic overtones and leave it there. for me, it has another meaning - my mother passed away in 2017 and i took care of her every day for 6 months through 10 hospitals, 3 rehab centers, and 1 hospice. for me, when she says i get a little tongue twisted every time i talk to you when i see you, i imagine my mother in rehab sleeping at night and me sitting there wondering, when i leave tonight, will this be the last time i see her alive? so when i close my eyes, i still can see my mother's smile shining from her bed and i hear her voice saying my name. and the second half of the song is an inner monologue that plays over and over in my soul. tell me if made the wrong advances, tell me if i've made you feel ashamed - this question pushes me to do my best to impress my mother. there are ceilings in love and if romance is your ceiling, you're missing out on other deeper and richer ways to love someone.
I know what you mean. I saw my friend, nephew and grandmother smile while listening to this song.
Thank you for sharing your mother’s memory with us. I shared your comment wit my family!
I know the feeling. My mother passed away this year. She always loved Gloria Estefan's music. And the line cause when I close my eyes I still can see your smile. It's so true. It happens to me all of the time.
Awww , WOW
Mom passed 19 yrs. Ago , I can still see her SMILE
It's a beautiful song we all can relate to
2024 and this song still gives me goosebumps. My all time favorite Gloria Estefan song.
What a legend. This song gives me Vh1 90’s realness 💛
An incredibly beautiful song!! 🙏😢🙏
Is true

I was too late to show him that I was wrong and that if given just 1 opportunity I would have given my entire life to make it up to him. To show him I love him with my ACTIONS and not just WORDS. I've tried to make things better and tell him I was wrong. But he didn't want to believe me. And, I can understand him that he lost his trust in me after so long. But if he only knew that I would have given him my entire self to make things work. In the end there's nothing more valuable than LOVE!!! He would tell me there's so many people that are together but don't love each other but we do! I would give anything to hear him say that to me again! Because we did LOVE EACH OTHER and I STILL DO LOVE HIM! AND he was RIGHT! I still love him. I carry him in my heart every single day. Looking into his eyes was like looking into his soul. I felt him to be genuine, honest and sincere when it came to his love for me. I just wasn't able to see it then. Until my last breath I will LOVE him and would have LOVED to be his partner in everyway and ultimately be a family. I still have faith in us but I ask god for guidance to keep going. My heart is broken but I learned many lessons in this relationship and especially losing him. He asked me multiple times if I would care for him the way I cared for my father while he was sick and dying of cancer. And, If he only knew I would give everything to care for him in EVERY WAY, EVERYDAY until MY LAST BREATH! AND, THE ANSWER IS YES! I would care for you for as long as I live. I haven't been able to move on with anyone because my heart belongs to only him. And I STRONGLY BELIEVE I WILL NEVER LOVE ANYONE ELSE BUT HIM ALWAYS UNTIL MY LAST BREATH! ABNIEL TE AMO! 7/84.
🎶"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 LOVE YOU! 🎶
You should contact him and tell him this
I feel your soul
that age when beautiful ladies are natural with their natural voice and no one could beat them with artist nowdays..
None of today's women artists have the slightest hope of even approaching her greatness
One of the most beautiful songs in the world. Timeless! I don't think anyone else could sing this like Gloria Estefan. She is an amazing lady.
A most haunting lyric sung by a most beautiful and intelligent woman. Diva - goddess, NO (she does not possess the callous attitude of some in the business), legend, YES! Yet so humble, so down to earth.
Yes that she is she's beautiful and has a heart of gold
+Leah Westrum Bravo!! That is a great comment, and I absolutely agree with you
Amen
this is what's missing in most of the music today gloria singing with all that emotion and passion you just don't see this kind of singer out there anymore now it's all about that certain look and dance moves real singing talent has really taken a back seat since around the early 90s just my opinion
Mr Peabody Yeah I feel you dude, although I just heard this song for the 1st time, and I think it's OK. It's not bad, but it's not as great as I expected
I love this song so much, my wife surprised me during our wedding in 1997 and had it played when we were lighting the unity candle. Gloria is the perfect singer/songwriter. I do know Jon Secada wrote this.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am a big fan of this woman's music and I am amazed that I'd never heard this song before. It's like when you love someone and you thought that they could not still surprise you
I wrote this 2 years ago. Time flies
love this song, love glorias voice and vibe
Watching the video brings back so many good memories of when i lived in Miami. So many friends gone and so many went separate ways.this diner is on biscayne Blvd and still remains.
Just beautiful Ms Gloria. This beautiful song brought me through some very dark days back in 93 when I lost my husband. Just lovely and thank you for your beautiful talent and strength.
The important thing to remember is that even when the person most important to you rejects you out of their life, the God who created you remains..all things pass except God's words..they, only, remain forever....
I just heard this for the first time because it was recommended that I look it up. WOW. I can't get over how stunning this is.
My mom bought the Gloria Estefan Greatest Hits collection cassette in 1992 when I was 6 and played it nonstop.
Today, at 34, this song is one of my alarm ringtones.
I just turned 23, so I am very young to know all here songs, but this one is my favorite of all her songs, so beautiful. She knows so much about love. I am Gloria Estefan Fan, no matter what ❤️
Clarrissa van Duuren I’m 25 and I saw her musical On Your Feet
R.H. you make me smile. You make me laugh, you make me happy. God,I pray that this goes on forever if it's your will...let it be. Let's walk this life hand in hand. I trust you Lord, you have brought this man to me at the right time in my life.
Beautiful put me in a Time Machine
My favorite Gloria Estefan song 💗
So beautiful
I'm a grumpy-ass old man, and it makes me cry!
What Went Wrong? :(
Helps keep you balanced.
It bring me back to a heartache...I'm not grumpy, and I'm crying too.
I confess that today is my first day of ever seeing the colorful diner theme music video to I See Your Smile by Gloria Estefan, a meaningful love song though definitely another music video that leaves circumstances open-ended on what happens between the main protagonist and whoever the muse is for this classic 90s pop song.
I simply respect you Mrs. Estefan...it's easy to do. Your the best.
probably my favorite song from her. ..hard to choose. so many great memories from this song
This is the greatest love song ever made.
Got choked up on this classic. Man amazing!!!!!!
I'm a guy, and this song melts me every time I hear it. I think, one of the greatest penned songs...EVER!!! Probably my favorite song of Gloria's, besides "1, 2, 3!" She's an amazing artist whose songs just captivate your emotions, or get you up on your feet and dancing away-a songstress who makes you feel, move and think! Gloria, if I had a adulthood wish, it would be that our Cuba would be free, and that one day I could just meet you, hug you, and tell you how proud I am of the way you have represented the Cuban people in exile, elsewhere in the world, and in Miami! I'm also happy that in your life, success has dropped onto your lap. Smile fervently, love deeply, and laugh loudly! God Bless!
I agree 100% especially about Freedom for the people of Cuba. It is sad that this many years later they are still being oppressed. American Progressives make me sick when they act like Castro's Cuba is some kind of ''Paradise'' when it is only a prison. We must ALL work harder to put into political power those with the courage to right the wrong so close to our shore.
Franco Tramble Thank you, Frank!
Gloria is one of the greatest singers alive! Her songs are always sung with such heartfelt passion!! Prayers for Cuba!!
"Always Tomorrow" dedicated to victims of hurricane Andrew in 92, always brings the tears too. Watch the TH-cam video.
That's the thing about Gloria's songs, she has real happy ones like "1-2-3" & "Get on your feet" & sad ones too. She is so beautiful, inside & out !
One of her most underrated songs...love Gloria
By the Gods, I finally found this song! This song has stuck with me, and somehow haunted me for a very long time. It has been a long time and I never knew the name or who it was by, just a simple chorus line that got stuck in my head. I found it, and the emotions it brings back is...heart-crushing.
RazorFang18 I know that feeling of searching for a song that just kinda stuck with you !
It is a true and profound sensitivity this music ... It raises the soul in the strength of believing in the good it does in truly loving and in the reciprocity ...
This has to be my favorite Gloria song.................. Puts a silent smile on my face reminds me of falling in love
Everytime I listen to this song, it reminds me of a guy that I liked back in college. I can still see his beautiful smile when I close my eyes. Wished I told him that I liked him too...sigh.
When I was happy and didn't know it, thank you Gloria for this beautiful ballad.
I love this song! Gloria thanks so much for making the world a little more beautiful by recording this song!
most beautiful melody sung by a most beautiful singer!
I love her simplicity in this video. You can see her humbleness come out.
Very strong song which comes from a person who has lived, loved and understands the meaning of LIFE. Gloria has superb songs. Elvis Presley The Wonder Of You is also a strong song...I played it in my wedding for my wife.....
Sheila, my beloved.... I miss you so much since you died November 2003 and they see your smile or to hear your laugh is that which makes my dreams come true missing them and give you so much brings my heart to tears with just one thought.
You are dearly missed, my love.
Your adoring husband, Sammy
wow this made me cry because she know about love and the way it can be my God bless her i love this song it's so inspired
Im an african American male that loves r and b and hip hop music. My mom played Gloria Estefans music when I was a kid and her songs will NEVER get old to me. Not only is her voice melody and lyrics amazing but her songs trigger memories of growing up in the early 90s in Florida
A lot of love songs are moving. Gloria's move me more during those times when I need to hear her essential sentiments.
Remembering my dear friend Rachel tonight. Gloria was just one of the many musicians we bonded over. She had a souped up stereo in her Honda Civic Coupe and we used to blast around town. We were good friends for many years.
Later on we got mixed up in drugs and ended up in a quarrel and were estranged.
Years roll by and were in different states now. The internet comes out so I would check now and then. Hoping to have a chance to repair things on my end now that I was older and clean. Eventually I found her obituary sadly. I was too late. 😪 Don't ever leave a loved one mad. It's not worth never seeing them again. I hope to see her on the other side. 🙏
This song is a timeless masterpiece.
No matter how far on the charts it reached.The song still touches so many hearts makes it one of the best.
So true✌
I'm here coz v sang this song while play a piano and yes this song is magnificent 😭😭✨✨✨✨
This song came out in early 1993, a very difficult time in my life, when I thought I would lose everything and everyone important to me then.. .things barely hung on, but eventually they totally did falll apart 16 years later, and everyone is gone out of my life.. it is a beautiful emotional song that personally for me spelled a sense of pervading doom that I couldn't shake off permanently....
Gloria is a wonderful singer nobody can match her muscal talents.
Her best ballad. Very under appreciated song.
👍👍
I cry every single time I hear this song. It's one of the most beautiful songs ever. I think of my abuela everytime I hear it.
Such a well written, beautiful song. Gloria was definitely a gift to the music world and to fans. My sister from Cuba, I am so proud of you-the way you represent your country with class and dignity, and for all of your success! A stellar example of beauty within that shows itself in song! Quiero mi Cuba libre!
One of her top songs.
A perfect voice with instrumental perfection.
one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite artists, she is beautiful, inside and out.
Lord, My Holy Father, Please help us Allways for You Alone are Our Almighty God and Father........ Your true followers will Allways Love You!!!!!!!!!!
I still can see your smile..what a great song from such a beautiful voice. This song never gets old to me. If only more music can touch me like this one does.
Thirty years ago, the music world got the chance to see Gloria Estefan's smile!
She has done so much to introduce the Cuban element in the American music scene.
When someone you loved shoves you out of their life, there is always the omnipotent God who created you still there....His Word remains eternally...
Truly a grossly underrated song with such beautiful piano accompaniment.
Haven't heard this in years, it suddenly appeared in my playlist and my god the childhood memories started rushing back (I was 11 when it came out). Such a beautiful and underrated song, love it so much.
To me, the most underrated female singer. Period. Love you Gloria.x
I have her Greatest Hits on cassette ;)
This song transcends me to a different place and time.
Heard the at the drug store today, wow, haven’t heard this beautiful song in years and years! Had forgotten about it, glad to rediscover it!
Truly. One of the most beautiful melodies. God bless her!
Oh, this song hits home. It is a song of someone who really misses someone and who longs that smile of that SP. Ah how bitter sweet. What a beautiful song, Gloria. This song makes this man cry huge tears. Wow. Ah, my heart, my broken heart. Wishing for it to heal and also for my ex to be healed in every way the God/the Infinite could make possible. God bless you wherever you are.
Singers like Gloria so effortlessly sing such difficult songs.. so beautiful just like Ganges flowing out of Himalaya's .. Just beautiful..
Classy lady; beautiful song....perfection!
I love this song. It brings back many memories. I relate to it on a spiritual level. The lyrics are so down to earth. Gloria has been a favorite of mine since the mid 80s. On top of that she's so pretty.
When you think about it, there really aren't that many ballads sung by women towards men so when you hear one...especially one this well performed with heartfelt lyrics...it's wonderful. As a man, if a woman expressed her feelings to me and said "would you hold my hand right through it", I would be so touched.
