we could be in love

Be still, my heart
Lately its mind is on its own
It would go far and wide
Just to be near you

Even the stars
Shine of it bright I've noticed
When you're close to me

Still it remains a mystery

*Chorus 1*:
Anyone who's seen us
Knows what's going on between us
It doesn't take a genius
To read between the lines
And it's not just wishful thinking
Or only me who's dreaming
I know what these are symptoms of
We could be in love

I ask myself why
I sleep like a baby through the night
Maybe it helps to know
You'll be there tomorrow

Don't open my eyes
I wake from the spell I'm under
Makes me wonder how

Tell me how I could live without you now

Chorus 2:
And what about the laughter
The happy ever after
Like voices of sweet angels
Calling out our names
And it's not just wishful thinking
Or only me who's dreaming
I know what these are symptoms of
We could be in love

Bridge:
All my life I have dreamed of this
But I could not see your face

Don't ask why two such distant stars
Can fall right into place

Oh, it doesn't take a genius
To know what these are symptoms of
We could be...
We could be...
We could be in love
We could be in love

ikaw

Ikaw ang bigay ng maykapal
Tugon sa aking dasal
Upang sa lahat ng panahon
Bawat pagkakataon
Ang ibigin ko'y ikaw

Ikaw ang tanglaw sa 'king mundo
Kabiyak nitong puso ko
Wala ni kahati mang saglit
Na sa yo'y maipapalit
Ngayo't kailanma'y ikaw

Ang lahat ng aking galaw
Ang sanhi ay ikaw
Kung may bukas mang tinatanaw
Dahil may isang ikaw

Kulang ang magpakailan pa man
Upang bawat sandali ay
Upang muli't muli ay
Ang mahalin ay ikaw

rough/literal translation:

you are God's gift
the answer to my prayer
so for every time
every opportunity
i will love you

you are the tanglaw in my world
my heart's other half
not even half a moment
can replace you
now and forever, you

all that i do
is because of you
if there is a future envisioned
because there is one you

forevermore is not enough
so that every moment..
so that again and again..
the one to love is you

* i hope i didnt murder the song with my translation. nice song.

all i ask of you

No more talk of darkness
Forget these wide-eyed fears
I'm here
Nothing can harm you
My words will warm and calm you

Let me be your freedom
Let daylight dry your tears
I'm here
With you, beside you
To guard you and to guide you

Then say you love me every winter morning
Turn my head with talk of summertime
Say you need me with you now and always
Promise me that all you say is true
That's all I ask of you

Let me be your shelter
Let me be your light
You're safe
No one will find you
Your fears are far behind you

All we need is freedom
A world that's warm and bright
And you
Always beside me
To hold me and to hide me

Say you'll share with me one love,
One lifetime
Let me lead you from your solitude
Say you need me with you,
Here beside you
Anywhere you go, let me go too
That's all I ask of you

Say the word and I will follow you
Share each day with me,
Each night, each morning
Say you feel the way I do
That's all I ask of you

Anywhere you go, let me go too
Love me
That's all I ask of you

the most beautiful girl in the world

Could u be the most beautiful girl in the world
It's plain 2 see u're the reason that God made a girl
When the day turns into the last day of all time
I can say I hope u are in these arms of mine
And when the night falls before that day I will cry
I will cry tears of joy cuz after u all one can do is die,

Could u be the most beautiful girl in the world'
Could u be' It's plain 2 see u're the reason that God made a girl
Oh, yes u are

How can I get through days when I can't get through hours'
I can try but when I do I see u and I'm devoured, oh yes
Who'd allow, who'd allow a face 2 be soft as a flower' oh
I could bow (bow down) and feel proud in the light of this power

Oh yes, ohCould u be (could u be) the most beautiful girl in the world'
Could u be' It's plain 2 see u're the reason that God made a girl
Oh, yes u are

And if the stars ever fell one by one from the sky
I know mars could not be, uh, 2 far behind
Cuz baby, this kind of beauty has got no reason 2 ever be shy
Cuz honey, this kind of beauty is the kind that comes from inside

An anthropologist once asked a Hopi why so many of his people's songs were about rain. The Hopi replied, "Because water is so scarce. Is that why so many of your songs are about love?" ~ Gila: Life and Death of an American River
