The lost Tapes of Jose Luis Roman live here, forever.
Jose Luis Roman was born March 22, 1928 to Luis And Carmen Roman in Adjuntas, Puerto Rico. He played the Spanish Guitar all his life. He traveled from Puerto Rico to America as a migrant farmer. He started in Florida and went all the way to New York. He worked many jobs and even owned his own Record/Candy Store. Until he moved again to New Jersey, where he lived out the rest of his life here on earth. (April 29, 2004) No matter what job he had, he always played the guitar. He loved to sing wherever he could. I’m Luis C. Santiago, his Grandson. I have taking the tapes he left to me of his music and started making them into mp3 so they will never grow old and be lost. Now my family, no matter where they are, can come here to hear him sing again.

Lyrics
(Jose Luis Roman - Intro) (Lystic - Intro) I just wanted to take a second, to thank all yall for being here today To celebrate the life and the after-life of a great man Jose Luis Roman, my Grandpa This is our song… (Lystic) Verse 1 April 29th, a day I’ll never forget Holding my mother as she cried cause we heard your sunset It was the darkest hour I ever lived in my life I had to be strong, but I cried myself to sleep that night You showed me so much about what it was to be a man And I was holding your hand, almost everyday, as you neared the end I called you “Papa” like you was my dad And when I think about it now, you’re the only real father I ever had A year’s gone by and I’m missing you still I know I got to be strong, but I’m always keep it real When they put you in the ground, Rachel had to help me walk And I’m recording this now; it’s kinda hard to talk You were the only man in my life that never went away And I know your not gone, I still feel you here today The way I put these words together, I got it from you And I’m never stop chasing my dreams, that’s my promise to you (Jose Luis Roman – Chorus) (Lystic) Verse 2 May 5th, they brought the flowers by the baskets That was the day the world stopped to view you in your casket Beautiful, the only word that could describe But I cried, because inside, I still wished that you were alive My heart broke every time I saw my grandmother’s face She would have given anything just to leave this place That’s how we all felt, it’s so hard to say goodbye But when I see a star in the sky, I know that’s you saying hi No goodbyes, I see you later, how bout that I’ll bring you your guitar so you can sing while I rap Juan on the piano and Ashley on her saxophone Mom with the tambourine and Grandma holding your microphone And we can play our song, until the end of time Celebrating with Jesus drinking heavenly wine That sound fun, that’s something I look forward to So I’m work hard to get to heaven so I can kick it with you (Jose Luis Roman – Chorus) (Lystic) Verse 3 Today, I wrote this describing how I feel inside Time should heal all wounds, but sometimes, I still cry Because I think of all your jokes and all the songs that you sing The way you played the guitar and all the joy that you’d bring They say I look like junior and junior look like you I hope I get to look that fly when I’m 72 I did this all for the people that think that you’re gone Your immortal, I resurrected you with this song I’ll preserve your life’s work, so you can sing forever Cause only you bring these people in this room together All ways worked hard so your family had food to eat That why when I get dressed for work, I put your shoes on my feet So I hope I made you proud, I made this song for you And know as long as I live, I’ll always be missing you This is in memory of my grandpa, Jose Luis Sempre te quero mucho papa, rest in peace… (Jose Luis Roman – Chorus) (Outro From: Jose Luis Roman’s – “Closing Time”)
