Wake up,
The morning’s over.
The bed is soft and warm,
Where we lay.

I’ve dreamed the whole night through,
Of how I’d say to you,
All the things,
My heart wants to say.

Last night,
You heard me crying,
‘Cause I had never loved a man,
Before.

And I guess the tears were falling,
‘Cause the little girl was lost,
But now love,
I’m not crying any more.

This girl has turned into a woman.
And I’ve dreamed of this moment,
All my life.

This girl has turned into a woman.
And I thank you,
For your tenderness,
Last night.

I’ve never seen a man,
Lying on my pillow.
I’ve never seen your body,
Without clothes.

I can’t believe,
These feelings I’ve discovered.
Though I’m sure it’s just,
What every lover knows.

Now I’m offering to you,
I make a promise,
And love is gone tomorrow,
Don’t pretend.

But right now I’m in love,
And that’s all I’m thinking of.
And I hope this feeling,
Never ever ends.

This girl has turned into a woman.
And I’ve dreamed of this moment,
All my life.
This girl has turned into a woman.
And I thank you,
For your tenderness last night.

And I want to love you,
Once again,
Tonight.

My morning starts to shine
With teardrops in my eyes
And here I am alone starting to realize
That my days would be brighter
If I could learn to hide
The feeling that I have for you
Keeps haunting me inside

Then my days begin
With simple thoughts of you
Hoping that tomorrow will be me and you
Sharing dreams with each other
And making them come true
Holding one another, saying all I need is you

But will you say that you love me
And show me that you care
Say when I need you
You will always be there
But if you go and leave me
(Ooh) This I swear is true
My love will always be with you

Now my nights would end
With just one wish, that’s you
To hold me in the dark
And help me make it through
‘Cause the pain that’s inside me
Would simply melt away
If I had you here with me
And promise me you’d stay

But will you say that you love me
And show me that you care
Say when I need you
You will always be there
But if you go and leave me
(Ooh) This I swear is true
My love will always be with you

But will you say that you love me
And show me that you care
Say when I need you
You will always be there
But if you go and leave me
(Ooh) This I swear is true
My love will always be with you
My love will always
My love will always ooh, ooh
My love will always be with you

Performed by Bette Midler

Some say love, it is a river that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger, an endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower, and you it’s only seed.

It’s the heart, afraid of breaking, that never learns to dance.
It’s the dream, afraid of waking, that never takes a chance.
It’s the one who won’t be taken, who cannot seem to give.
And the soul, afraid of dyin’, that never learns to live.

When the night has been too lonely, and the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows,
Lies the seed, that with the sun’s love, in the spring becomes The Rose.

(Louie Ocampo & Martin Nievera)

You are the song
Playing so softly in my heart
I reach for you
You seem so near yet so far
I hope and I pray
You’ll be with me someday
I know down inside
You are my and I’m your true love
Or am I dreaming…

How can I
Each time I try to say goodbye
You were there
You look my way I touch the sky
We can share tomorrow and forevermore
I’ll be there to love you so
You are my song

I know for sure
That we were meant to fall in love
I look in your eyes
I know what you’re thinking of
I try not to say
The words that might scare you away
I know down inside
You are my and I’m your true love
Please no more dreaming…

How can I
Each time I try to say goodbye
You were there
You look my way I touch the sky
We can share tomorrow and forevermore
I’ll be there to love you so
You are my song
You are my song

We can share tomorrow and forevermore
I’ll be there to love you so
You are my song
You are my song

I was wrong when I hurt you
But did you have to hurt me too
Did you think revenge will make it better?
I don’t care about the past
I just want our love to last
There’s a way to bring us back together

CHORUS:
I must forgive you (I must forgive you)
You must forgive me too (we must have to try)
If you wanna try to put things back the way they used to be
(honey let’s start again)
‘Cause there’s no sense in going over and over
The same things as before
So let’s not bring the past back anymore
(no looking back, we can’t look back)
(honey let’s start again)

Out of all the good we had
You only keep track of the bad
Though you knew I never really loved her
Didn’t anyone tell you yet?
That to forgive is to forget
How can you be mad if you don’t remember?

CHORUS:
I must forgive you (I must forgive you)
You must forgive me too (we must have to try)
If you wanna try to put things back the way they used to be
(honey let’s start again)
‘Cause there’s no sense in going over and over
The same things as before
So let’s not bring the past back anymore
(no looking back, we can’t look back)
(honey let’s start again)

I must forgive you
And you must forgive me too
It’s the only thing that’s left that we haven’t try to do
One thing I’m sure will work
That we haven’t tried before
Let’s not bring the past back anymore
(no looking back, no looking back)
(honey let’s start again)

Hello, I don’t even know your name,
but I’m hopin’ all the same
this is more than just a simple hello.

Hello, do I smile and walk away?
No, I think I’ll smile and stay
to see where this might go.

‘Cause the last time I felt like this
I was falling in love,
falling and feeling
I’d never fall in love again.
Yes, the last time I felt like this
was long before I knew
what I’m feeling now with you.

Hello, I can’t wait till we’re alone,
somewhere quiet on our own
so that we can fall the rest of the way.

I know that before the night is thru,
I’ll be talking love to you,
meaning ev’ry word I say.

‘Cause the last time I felt like this
I was falling in love,
falling and feeling
I’d never fall in love a-gain.
Yes, the last time I felt like this
was long before I knew
what I’m feeling now with you.

Oh, the last time I felt like this
I was falling in love,
falling and feeling
I’d never fall in love again.
Yes, the last time I felt like this,
was long before I knew
what I’m feeling now with you.

Oh, the last time I felt like this
I was falling in love,
falling and feeling
I’d never fall in love again.
Yes, the last time I felt like this,
was long before I knew
what I’m feeling now with you.

I’ve had my share of life’s ups and downs
But fate’s been kind, the downs have been few
I guess you could say that I’ve been lucky
Well, I guess you could say that it’s all because of you

If anyone should ever write my life story
For whatever reason there might be
Oh, you’ll be there between each line of pain and glory
‘Cause you’re the best thing that ever happened to me
Oh, you’re the best thing that ever happened to me

Oh, there have been times when times were hard
But always somehow I made it, I made it through
‘Cause for every moment that I’ve spent hurting
There was a moment that I spent, oh, just loving you

If anyone should ever write my life story
For whatever reason there might be
Oh, you’ll be there between each line of pain and glory
‘Cause you’re the best thing that ever happened to me
Oh, you’re the best thing that ever happened to me
I know, you’re the best thing, oh, that ever happened to me

Recorded by Journey

Lying beside you here in the dark
Feeling your heart beat with mine
Softly you whisper, you’re so sincere
How could our love be so blind
We sailed on together, we drifted apart
And here you are by my side

So, now I come to you with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So, here I am with open arms
Hoping you’ll see what your love means to me
Open arms…

Living without you, living alone
This empty house seems so cold
Wanting to hold you, wanting you near
How much I wanted you home
But now that you’ve come back
Turned night into day
I need you to stay

So, now I come to you with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So, here I am with open arms
Hoping you’ll see what your love means to me
Open arms…

Time, only time can erase the memory of our love
And all those dreams that won’t come true.
Yesterday I walk the streets, today I run in disbelief
From the memory of losing you.

Yesterday when we were young
Our love was new and we had fun
Playing games and wondering what to do.

Now yesterday is gone for me
And all I have are memories of loving
And then somehow losing you.

Sometimes I let my mind drift endlessly
And in the wind your face I see
Smile gently as you turn to pass.

But the love that I once had for you is gone
And so’s the meaning too.
I guess it really never had a chance to last.

And if in your mind someday you see me running
through your memory
Don’t be afraid to turn and look my may,
Cause I’ll be there for just a while
To catch the sunshine of your smile
To last me for another day.

And if someday some new love
Asks about your love,
About your past, please tell him that
You and I were only friends….

Original Song Title: I’ll Never Say Goodbye
Theme from the motion picture, “The Promise” (1979)
Music by David L. Shire
Lyrics by Alan Bergman and Marilyn Bergman
Recorded by Maureen McGovern

Say goodbye?
Why, I can barely say goodnight
If I can hardly take my eyes
From yours
How far could I go?
Walk away
The thought would never cross my mind
I couldn’t turn my back on spring
Or fall
Your smile least of all

When I say always
I mean forever
I trust tomorrow
As much as today
I am not afraid to say
I love you
And I promise you
I’ll never say goodbye

We’re dancers on a crowded floor
While other dancers live
From song to song
Our music goes on
On and on
And if I never leave your arms
I really will have traveled everywhere
For my world is there

When I say always
I mean forever
I trust tomorrow
As much as today
I am not afraid to say
I love you
And I promise you
I’ll never say goodbye

How could I ever say goodbye?
