Think of Me

2005-02-03T15:50:00.000+08:00

From the famous play, The Phantom of the Opera, here's the song Christine played at the Gala Night as she was recognized by Raoul. It's such a nice song for lovers who are apart or going to part for some time with hopes of being back together.

Think Of Me
Think of me
think of me fondly, when
we've said goodbye
remember me
once in a while, please
promise me you'll try

When you find,
that once again you long
to take your heart back,
and be free
if you ever find a moment,
spare a thought for me

We never said
our love was evergreen
or as unchanging as the sea...
but if you can still remember,
stop and think of me

Think of all the things
we've shared and seen,
don't think about the things
which might have been

Think of me
think of me waking, silent
and resigned...
imagine me, trying too hard to
put you from my mind...

Recall those days,
look back on all those times,
think of the things
we'll never do...
there will never be a day when
I won't think of you

We never said
our love was evergreen
or as unchanging as the sea...
but please promise me,
that sometimes
you will think of me

Wag Na Wag Mong Sasabihin

Wag Na Wag Mong Sasabihin
[ Kitchie Nadal ]

May gusto ka bang sabihin
Ba’t ‘di mapakali
Ni hindi makatingin
Sana’y ‘wag mo na itong palipasin
At subukang lutasin
Sana’y sinabi mo na

REFRAIN
Iba’ng nararapat sa akin
Na tunay kong mamahalin

CHORUS
Oh, huwag na huwag mong sasabihin
Na hindi mo nadama itong
Pag-ibig kong handang
Ibigay kahit pa kalayaan mo

Ano man ang iyong akala
Na ako’y isang bituin
Na walang sasambahin
‘Di ko man ito ipakita
Abot-langit ang daing
Sana’y sinabi mo na

[Repeat REFRAIN]
[Repeat CHORUS]

At sa gabi, sinong duduyan sa ‘yo
At sa umaga, ang hangin ang hahaplos sa ‘yo

Oh oh

[Repeat CHORUS]

I like this song being played on the TV soap "Lovers In Paris". Sobra akong nag-eenjoy sa panonood dahil light lang ang story at ang galing na nagagawang funny ang katangahan na kung sa isang Filipino ang gagawa surely corny.

Remember Me This Way

REMEMBER ME THIS WAY
Jordan Hill

Every now and then
We find a special friend
Who never lets us down

Who understands it all
Reaches out each time you fall
You're the best friend that I've found

I know you can't stay
A part of you will never ever go away
Your heart will stay

I'll make a wish for you
And hope it will come true
That life would just be kind
To such a gentle mind
If you lose your way
Think back on yesterday
Remember me this way
Remember me this way

I don't need eyes to see
The love you bring to me
No matter where I go

And I know that you'll be there
Forever more a part of me, you're everywhere
I'll always care

I'll make a wish for you
And hope it will come true
That life would just be kind
To such a gentle mind
If you lose your way
Think back on yesterday
Remember me this way
Remember me this way

And I'll be right behind your shoulder watching you
I'll be standing by your side and all you do
And I won't ever leave
As long as you believe
You just believe

I'll make a wish for you
And hope it will come true
That life would just be kind
To such a gentle mind
If you lose your way
Think back on yesterday
Remember me this way
Remember me this way

I have always remembered the Movie "CASPER" for the song above. We used the song in one of our class productions back in high school. But just tonight I had another reason to remember CASPER for, the time Casper was talking to Kat...

Casper: I told you I was a good dancer. Can I keep you?
Kat: Casper?

By the way, I searched for "Can I Keep You" * Casper .... I was surprised with the results...

If You're Not The One

2004-10-07T10:36:00.001+08:00

Artist Daniel Bedingfield
Album Maid in Manhattan

If you're not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all

I never know what the future brings
But I know you are here with me now
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with

I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

If I don't need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don't need you then why does your name resound in my head?
If you're not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
If you're not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?

I don't know why you're so far away
But I know that this much is true
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I pray in you're the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life

I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

'Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
'Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or right
And though I can't be with you tonight
And know my heart is by your side

I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms

This song makes me remember April 2003. At around 6pm in front of Manila post office I was able to appreciate the song for the first time. Someone told me he'll sing the song for me though it didn't happen yet... well one day.. I hope he will ^-^

Perhaps Love

2004-08-20T09:17:00.000+08:00

Perhaps Love
John Denver

Perhaps love is like a resting place
A shelter from the storm
It exists to give you comfort
It is there to keep you warm
And in those times of trouble
When you are most alone
The memory of love will bring you home

Perhaps love is like a window
Perhaps an open door
It invites you to come closer
It wants to show you more
And even if you lose yourself
and don't know what to do
The memory of love will see you thru

O love to some is like a cloud
To some as strong as steel
For some a way of living
For some a way to feel
And some say love is holding on
And some say letting go
And some say love is everything
Some say they don't know

Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict full of pain
Like a fire when it's cold outside
A thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you

And some say love is holding on
And some say letting go
And some say love is everything
Some say they don't know

Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict full of pain
Like a fire when it's cold outside
A thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you

Nothing much... I just remembered the song. Funny how the composer describes the word love with uncertainty..."perhaps". Well that's how most people start, I guess. Later in life, we develop our own description for the word LOVE that is based on our experiences. Others sadly loose it, some eventually find it, while still others did not see it at all.

Wouldnt It be Nice

2004-07-05T16:43:00.000+08:00

I enjoyed the movie 50 First Dates a lot... My friends and I watched it on a Holy Wednesday.. hehehe after we agreed that Passion Of Christ will be depressing. Actually, I was going through a lot that day, and the laughs from the movie were very nuch needed. The song below is from The Beach Boys I liked the way it sounds as I heard it in the movie, now I have an copy of the song and so I placed the lyrics below.

Wouldn't it be nice
if we were older
Then we wouldn't have to wait so long
And wouldn't it be nice to live together
In the kind of world where we belong

You know its gonna make it that much better
When we can say goodnight and stay together

Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new
And after having spent the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through

Happy times together we've been spending
I wish that every kiss was neverending
Wouldn't it be nice

Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true
Baby then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do
We could be married
And then we'd be happy

Wouldn't it be nice

You know it seems the more we talk about it
It only makes it worse to live without it
But lets talk about it
Wouldn't it be nice

The Beach Boys

The Prayer

2004-06-19T11:52:00.000+08:00

I really like this song. Very inspirational! It's packed with faith in God and faith in Love. I look forward to hearing this song during my wedding ceremony ( whenever that will be).

The Prayer by Celine Dione
I pray you'll be our eyes, and watch us where we go.
And help us to be wise in times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way
Lead us to the place, guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe

La luce che tu hai
I pray we'll find your light
nel cuore restera
and hold it in our hearts.
a ricordarci che
When stars go out each night,
eterna stella sei

The light you have
I pray we'll find your light
will be in the heart
and hold it in our hearts.
to remember us that
When stars go out each night,
you are eternal star
Nella mia preghiera
Let this be our prayer
quanta fede c'e
when shadows fill our day

How much faith there's
Let this be our prayer
in my prayer
when shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe

Sognamo un mondo senza piu violenza
un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace, di fraternita

We dream a world without violence
a world of justice and faith.
Everyone gives the hand to his neighbours
Symbol of peace, of fraternity
La forza che ci da
We ask that life be kind
e il desiderio che
and watch us from above
ognuno trovi amor
We hope each soul will find
intorno e dentro se
another soul to love

The force his gives us
We ask that life be kind
is wish that
and watch us from above
everyone finds love
We hope each soul will find
around and inside
another soul to love
Let this be our prayer
Let this be our prayer, just like every child

Need to find a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
Need to find a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe

E la fede che
hai acceso in noi,
sento che ci salvera

It's the faith
you light in us
I feel it will save us
