And I Love You So

version of Regine Velasquez...

And I love you so.
The people ask me how,
How I’ve lived till now.
I tell them I don’t know.

I guess they understand
How lonely life has been.
But life began again
The day you took my hand.

And, yes, I know how lonely life can be.
The shadows follow me, and the night won’t set me free.
But I don’t let the evening get me down
Now that you’re around me.


And you love me, too.
Your thoughts are just for me;
You set my spirit free.
I’m happy that you do.

The book of life is brief
And once a page is read,
All but love is dead.
That is my belief.

And, yes, I know how loveless life can be.
The shadows follow me, and the night won’t set me free.
But I don’t let the evening bring me down
Now that you’re around me.

And I love you so.
The people ask me how,
How I’ve lived till now.
I tell them, "i don’t know." 

two thoughts i am reflecting on now... not related to the video/song i guess... sorry!..


first. my 81yo boss told me about this story that he heard sometime somewhere before. this is how it goes,

in a musical recital, a man is playing his violin beautifully and everybody was really attentive of his performance but in the middle of that performance, one of the strings got torn off. so everybody was schocked and waited for what he will do, they thought he will do something and put it back, but, what he did was took it out of its hook, and continue to play even the music is no longer good because of the absence of one of the strings.

so after the show, the host of the program asked him, " why did you keep playing?"

the man replied, "you know my friend, sometimes you have to play the music for what string you have left!"

second thought i am reflecting on was taken from the lines in the movie "The Hottest State." it goes like this:

... a lot of shit (sorry for the word) is gonna happen to you, like, people is not gonna love you. No matter what happen in this life, you only have two choices, only two choices.

--- One, you can either handle things well and be happy or

... two, handle it poorly and be miserable.

... the root of depression is being too self envolve. and the cure, is to read...
