i'll Never Love This Way Again

Words by Will Jennings:  Music by Richard 
Kerr and sung by Miss Dionne Warwick... 
but the video attached was the version of 
Miss Regine Velasquez...

You looked inside my fantasies and made 

each one come true,
something no one else had ever found a way 

to do.
I've kept the mem'ries one by one, since 

you took me in;
and I know I'll never love this way again.

I know I'll never love this way again,
so I keep holdin' on before the good is 
gone.

I know I'll never love this way again,
hold on, hold on, hold on.

A fool will lose tomorrow reaching back 

for yesterday;
I won't turn my head in sorrow if you 

should go away.

I'll stand here and remember just how 

good it's been,
and I know I'll never love this way again.
I know I'll never love this way again,
so I keep holdin' on before the good is 

gone.
I know I'll never love this way again,
hold on, hold on, hold on.
I know I'll never love this way again,
so I keep holdin' on before the good is 

gone.
I know I'll never love this way again,
hold on, hold on.
Repeat last 4 lines and fade.

... this is crazy. i never thought i can 

love someone like the way i love you now. 

there had been a lot of "but's" and "if's" 

even from the start yet it happened. now, 

with what happened recently i feel like my 

issues are not dealt with and i just need 

to go on with it. the issue was turned 

around and interpreted the other way. but,

i still need to go and and hold on to your 

promise... i'll take your word for that. 

and, only my love for you is the one 

telling me to go on and hold on...  

Fallin'

version i listen to is by Miss Regine Velasquez


I'm afraid to fly
And I don't know why
I'm jealous of the people the who are not afraid to die
It's just that I recall
Back when I was small
Someone promise that they'd catch me
But then they let me fall

And now I'm fallin
Fallin fast again
Why do I always take a fall
When I fall in love

You think by now i've learned
Play with fire
You'll get burn
But fire can be oh so warm
And that's why i return
Turn and walk away
That's what i should do
My head says go and find the door
My heart says i found you
And now I'm fallin
Catch me if you can
Maybe this time I'll have it all
When I fall in love

Loving someone...
I only got me to blame
help me i'm fallin fallin
Catch me if you can
Maybe this time i'll have it all
Maybe i'll make it after all
Maybe this time
I won't fall
When I fall in love
Oh ohh 

... time and time again, it will always happen.. broken promises, broken dreams. things that can never be avoided... 


... anyway i know there will always be someone to hold my hand if ever... that's life, that's love. falling in love is taking the risk of being hurt, or being left. from now on... no more expectation, wish it is possible. i will hold on to what you have promised me... 


... im still in pain.... 

I Just Fall In Love Again

thanks to "Carpenters" for the song, but since i'm promoting Filipino Talents, If you guys want to listen to the song; please listen to "Jaya's Version"... Thanks...

Dreamin', I must be dreamin'
Or am I really lyin' here with you
Baby, you take me in your arms
And though I'm wide awake
I know my dream is comin' true

(*) And, oh, I just fall in love again
Just one touch and then it happens every time
And there I go I just fall in love again, and when I do
Can't help myself, I fall in love with you

Magic, it must be magic
The way I hold you and the night just seems to fly
Easy, for you to take me to a star
Heaven is that moment when I look into your eyes


Repeat twice (*)

Can't help myself, I fall in love with you

one thing leads to another... most often than not, things comes when you least expect it. the small lie that i just want to have some fresh air leaving my friends for awhile and  to satisfy curiosity to check what's on that bar opposite from where my friends are hanging out have led me to find you. and though i am not ready yet... surely, i just fall in love again. 

You

originally sung by BASIL VALDEZ and recently revived by JED MADELA...


You give me hope,
The strength, the will to keep on;
No one else can make me feel this way
And only you
Can bring out all the best I can do;
I believe you turn the tide
And make me feel real good inside.

You pushed me up
When I'm about to give up;
You're on my side when no one seems to listen
And if you go,
You know the tears can't help but show
You'll break this heart and tear it apart;
Then suddenly the madness starts

CHORUS:
It's your smile,
Your face, your lips that I miss,
Those sweet little eyes that stare at me
And make me say,
I'm with you through all the way.

'Cause it's you
Who fills the emptiness in me;
It changes ev'rything, you see,
When I know I've got you with me

You pushed me up
When I'm about to give up;
You're on my side when no one seems to listen
And if you go,
You know the tears can't help but show
You'll break this heart and tear it apart;
Then suddenly the madness starts

CHORUS:
It's your smile,
Your face, your lips that I miss,
Those sweet little eyes that stare at me
And make me say,
I'm with you through all the way.

'Cause it's you
Who fills the emptiness in me;
It changes ev'rything, you see,
When I know I've got you with me.

It's your smile,
Your face, your lips that I miss,
Those sweet little eyes that stare at me
And make me say,
I'm with you through all the way.

'Cause it's you
Who fills the emptiness in me;
It changes ev'rything, you see,
When I know I've got you with me.

... i always remember how good and supportive you are whenever i am down. 'though how exhausted you are for the day and having your own complains yourself, you will call me and try to lift me up and encourage me to go on. how you carefully use words to make sure that i am going to feel good. those words that made me realize bad times comes but they will go and must go on with life. i will always be thankful for all those times... i love you....

Give Me A Chance

originally sung by the late Ric Sigreto but recently revived by World Champion Singer JED MADELA...


I need you 
Is all that I can say 
But deep inside of me 
You'll know I want you more each day 
But time won't let me have the chance 
So I've got to see you even at a glance 

I know, it's hard for you to see 
Exactly how much you mean to me 
Since it's just a one way street 
And I'm the only one who's on it 
No one knows the way but me 

Cho:
I love you can't you hear me 
Oh can't you please see through me 
Oh babe I need your love so badly 
It's no lie so please believe me 
In my heart you'll see the real me 
You just gotta give me a chance 

Well since I got that off my chest 
All I need to let you know 
Is I really did my best 
Keep this feeling inside 
But there's just no place to hide 
So please be my love 

Cho:
I love you can't you hear me 
Oh can't you please see through me 
Oh babe I need your love so badly 
It's no lie so please believe me 
In my heart you'll see the real me 
You just gotta give me a chance 

Give me a chance
Give me a chance

--- oh i how i wish we can be together always so we can show and will both see how special we are to each other. i know the feeling that is just a one way affair can never be avoided sometimes; but, we must both hold on. as you have said before, "our time will come, it's not ours yet but it will." i'm holding to that... 

Now That I Have You

by "the company"


All my life it seemed 
That something had been missing
I didn't know what to do 
Days would pass me by 
Each as lonely as the other 
Until I met you 

REFRAIN:
You opened the door 
And let the sunshine in 
My life will never be the same again 

CHORUS:
Now that I have you 
Everything just seems so right 
Now that I have you I'm alive 
You are the song that I'll be 
Singing my whole life through 
I'm living in a brighter world 
Now that I have you 

Looking ahead I see 
The two of us together 
I'll never let you go 
You're so dear to me 
And it isn't any wonder 
Why I love you so 

REFRAIN:
You opened the door
And let the sunshine in 
My life will never be the same again 

CHORUS:
Now that I have you 
Everything just seems so right 
Now that I have you I'm alive 
You are the song that I'll be 
Singing my whole life through 
I'm living in a brighter world 
Now that I have you 

BRIDGE:
I feel this love is real 
I see it in your eyes 
You take my hand and I understand 
You are mine 
You are mine 

CHORUS:
Now that I have you 
Everything just seems so right 
Now that I have you I'm alive 
You are the song that I'll be 
Singing my whole life through 
I'm living in a brighter world 
Now that I have you 

... who never dream of finding someone and feel secured that there is someone to grow old with. i travelled a lot, did a lot, tried a lot... and luckily in a very awkward situation and in an unusual place, i met someone and made me happy. gosh need to travel half way round the word... LOL!


for you, now that i have you everything just seems so right. and i'm alive. thank you for coming into my life...    

Break It To Me Gently

although i want to give credit to Miss Angela Bofill for the song, i want listening to the male version of a Filipino singer "MARK BAUTISTA"


Did you think that your smile
Could hide what's on your mind?
No matter how I tried
I just couldn't be so blind
We've been close but people grow,
And they sometimes grow apart
There's just one thing I ask you
If you've had a change of heart…

CHORUS:
(And) Break it to me gently,
If ya have to, then tell me lies
Break it to me gently,
At least leave me with my pride
Try to spare my feelings
If the feelings have to die
Break it to me gently,
If you have to say goodbye

I'm not ashamed to admit
I really hurt inside
After all these are my feelings,
Why should I make them hide?
But I won't hold you back,
There'll be no pulling on your sleeve
Just let me down easy,
And go softly when you leave…
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/a/angela-bofill-lyrics/break-it-to-me-gently-lyrics.html ]

CHORUS:
(And) Break it to me gently,
If ya have to, then tell me lies
Break it to me gently,
At least leave me with my pride
Try to spare my feelings
If the feelings have to die
Break it to me gently,
If you have to say goodbye

You always knew that you had my heart
It's still yours, if you wanna take it
But when you go, as I know you must,
Be gentle with your breaking

CHORUS:
(And) Break it to me gently,
If ya have to, then tell me lies
Break it to me gently,
At least leave me with my pride
Trust me and my feelings
If the feelings have to die
Break it to me gently,
If you have to say goodbye

Break it to me gently,
If you have to say goodbye,
Goodbye

... there will never be a gentle way of saying goodbye. i remember, one time when a very dear friend ask me to take him to the airport. which is the most hated thing for me; but he asked me to, so i did. driving my motorbike home, i almost crash to a car because i cannot see the road. eyes are full of tears. it ended, the passenger of the car drove my bike home. they are so good to help me out. blessings, i know them. i cannot speak for that whole afternoon because of crying. damn! i hate parting ways. so for YOU , if ever you get the chance to know i already have this blog and check it out... break it to me gently if you have to say goodbye... wish not...

Someone To Watch Over Me...

There's a saying old says that love is blind
Still we're often told "seek and ye shall find"
So I'm going to seek a certain girl/lad I've had in mind
Looking everywhere, haven't found her yet
She's the big affair I cannot forget
Only girl/man I ever think of will regret

I'd like to add her/him initials to my monogram
Tell me where's the shepherd for this lost lamb

There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that she/he turns out to be
Someone to watch over me

I'm a little lamb who's lost in a wood
I know I could always be good
To one who'll watch over me

Although I/he may not be the man some girls think of
As handsome to my heart
She/he carries the key

Won't you tell her/him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh how I need
Someone to watch over me
Someone to watch over me 

... i just told a very special friend this morning that everytime that my birthday is coming i am always down and scared. the feeling that no matter how hard i plan things, it seems like it's just going to be not good (don't want to use the word bad, LOL) and the feeling that i am always going to be alone. kind of freaking me out... is this part of mid-life crisis?

What is this all about...

since i am not good in poetry or essays, i have decided to make a small journal of everyday thoughts and feelings through songs. i'll post a song and try to relate it to my particular whatever... sounds corny or baduy but for sure a lot of us can relate... 


this will be a range of the songs from the time i was not born yet up to present, which i never knew a lot... LOL!


so this is the beginning of the blogging experience of JJ...
