FAR AWAY by KEVYN LETTAU

listening to the rain
all sounding the same
now that youre gone
where are the plans we made caught up in yesterday
far away

playing with your hair
whispering the words i wanna hear
i can remember when nothing was said or done
from far away

why does this happen
no one really knows
it's hard to be near when your heart has up and gone

just another day
looking for a way to make it through
everything comes and go
promises never know
youre far away
hey

why does this happen
no one really knows
it's hard to be near when your heart has up and gone

your footprints in the sand
the way youd understand my ups and downs
color is fading fast, will the memory last
from far away
i can remember when nothing was said or done
from far away
everything comes and goes
promises never know
youre far away
color is fading fast, will the mem'ry last
from far away
hey
far away

THE REAL THING by KALAPANA

Here comes the night
Once again
I'll be feeling lonely
Oh, if only things could work out like you plan
Where can love be
Tell me why it's so hard to find somebody
Who will stand by me
And take the time to understand
And show me love again
I want the real thing
Or nothing at all
I need someone that I can be sure will catch me
If I should fall
Someone who'll be there when I call
Then I'll know that it's the real thing
I want the real thing
To warm me each night
Someone to love me over and over
Making the future bright
Somebody who will make it all right
Just give me the real thing
Where is the moon?
Won't it smile
On just one more dreamer
Let your beams come down
And fill my empty room
Here comes the night
But if there's still a chance
That love can find me
I'll be here
Crossing my fingers
I want to know for sure
That I can feel secure
Knowing I've found an everlasting love
And once I get that under control
Then I won't let go

FINDING OUT THE HARD WAY by CYNTHIA RHODES

I can’t take all the blame, now can I
It takes more than one to lose
Such a fine line
That lies between but holds together
I turn to night, turn to the time
Whoa, whoa, and I’m findin’ out the hard way
It’s gonna take some tears, little bit of heartache
We’re like islands in the stream
Watchin’ all our dreams start to fade, fadin’ away
A moment gone is gone forever
It’s like water through the hands
And you spin the wheel of misfortune
Watching the time, we’re livin’ in love
No, better find another hallway
It’s gonna take some tears, a little bit of heartache
We’re like islands in the stream
Watchin’ all our dreams start to fade, fadin’ away
I keep reachin’ out, come up empty handed
Didn’t I let you down or did I leave you stranded
And I’m findin’ out the hard way
It’s gonna take some tears, little bit of heartache
We’re like islands in the stream
Watchin’ all our dreams start to fade, fadin’ away
Oh, and I’m findin’ out the hard way
It’s gonna take some tears, a little bit of heartache
We’re like islands in the stream
Watchin’ all our dreams start to fade, fadin’ away
Start to fade, fadin’ away
Start to fade, fadin’ away
Fade away

CLOSE by PAOLO SANTOS

Nothing in life
Holds more power than your smile
I can't describe it,
Even harder to define

Chorus 1:
Your breath, it soothes me
Your smile, it moves me
Gotta move in, closer to you now.

Chorus 2:
Nothing can come between us
Nothing can separate us
Nothing can ever break us apart
Well, it only shows
That nothing can keep us..from getting close.

In a crowded room
Feels like being miles apart
My eyes on you
Reflects what's deep inside my heart

Repeat Chorus 1 & 2.

Repeat Chorus 1.

Nothing can come between us
Nothing can separate us
Nothing can ever break us apart

Nothing can come between us
Nothing can separate us
Nothing can ever break us apart

Well it goes to show
That nothing could keep us
From getting close

From getting close….from getting close…from getting close.

KULANG NA KULANG by JOY & BEVS

Sa tuwing magkasama
Parang bale wala
Nagmumukhang hangin
Dumaang bale wala
Ni ayaw mong hawakan aking kamay

Kulang na kulang ba
Hindi pa ba sapat
Inubos kong lahat
Panahon ko sa iyo
Anong gagawin
Di mo pinapansin
Etong damdamin
Aking Paglalambing

Minsan ako'y nakahalata
Ika'y tulala
Malalim ang iniisip
Malayo ang tingin
Aking nalaman
Nabaling sa iba
ang nilalaman ng iyong damdamin

Repeat chorus

Bridge:

Buong magdamag, nag-isip kung bakit
Paanong nangyari, ito sa akin
Ayaw mo na pala, ba't di mo sinabi
Nagsawa ka na, paano na?

Repeat Chorus (2x)

MOONLIGHT OVER PARIS by PETER MAYER

You say you've been overseas
I say over where
You say just a holiday
My Alsatian heir
I say I've been working late, working overtime
Haven't seen the sun since sixty-nine (eighty-nine)

Does the moonlight shine on Paris
After the sun goes down
If the London bridge is falling
Will anybody hear a sound
If you follow the sunset will it ever end
Does the moonlight shine on Paris

Oh and how can you just walk away
Is it something that I said
I see only black and white
You see green and red
You believe in the miracles, water into wine
I'll believe when it makes the New York Times

Does the moonlight shine on Paris
After the sun goes down
If the London bridge is falling
Will anybody hear a sound
If you follow the sunset will it ever end
Does the moonlight shine on Paris

KNOCKS ME OFF MY FEET by STEVIE WONDER

I see us in the park
strolling the summer days
of imaginings in my head.
And words from our hearts
told only to the winds
felt even without being said.

I don't want to bore you with my trouble
But there's something 'bout your love
that makes me weak and knocks me off my feet.
There's something 'bout your love
that makes me weak and knocks me off my feet
knocks me off my feet.
I don't want to bore you with it
oh but I love you
I love you
I love you.
I don't want to bore you with it

oh but I love you
I love you

I love you more and more.

We lay beneath the stars

under a lover's tree
that's seen through the eyes of my mind.
And I reach out for the part
of me that lives in you
that only our two hearts can find.

I don't want to bore you with my trouble
But there's something 'bout your love
that makes me weak and knocks me off my feet.
There's something 'bout your love
that makes me weak and knocks me off my feet
knocks me off my feet.
I don't want to bore you with it
but I love you
I love you
I love you.
I don't want to bore you with it

but I love you
I love you ...

BREATHE by MICHELLE BRANCH

I’ve been driving for an hour
Just talking to the rain
You say I’ve been driving you crazy
And it’s keeping you away
So just give me one good reason
Tell me why I should stay
‘Cause I don’t wanna waste another moment
In saying things we never meant to say

And I take it just a little bit
I hold my breath and count to ten
I’ve been waiting for a chance to let you in

If I just breathe
Let it fill the space between
I’ll know everything is alright
Breathe
Every little piece of me
You’ll see
Everything is alright
If I just breathe

Well it’s all so overrated
I’m not saying how you feel
So you end up watching chances fade
And wondering what’s real

And I give you just a little time
I wonder if you realize
I’ve been wanting ‘til I see it in your eyes

If I just breathe
Let it fill the space between
I’ll know everything is alright
Breathe
Every little piece of me
You’ll see
Everything is alright
If I just breathe

So I whisper in the dark
Hoping you’ll hear me
Do you hear me?

If I just breathe
Let it fill the space between
I’ll know everything is alright
Breathe
Every little piece of me
You’ll see
Everything is alright
If I just breathe

Everything is alright if I just breathe
I’ve been driving for an hour
Just talking to the rain

TIME & TIDE by BASIA

It's hard for me to stop my heart
love never knows when the time is right
I don't want to hurt anybody but
can't help loving you

I never felt like this before
I know this is passion worth waiting for
let love take its course
that's the only thing for us to do

We got time, oh baby, there's no rush
gonna be a better day for us
hang on and I will wait for you
our love will always stay as good as new

Time and tide nothing and no one can stop us now
for better for worse this time I'm sure it's gonna last

How can I stop my heart?
Love never knows when the time is right
don't want to hurt anybody
don't want to make them cry
don't want to make them cry

We've got time, oh baby there's no rush
gonna be a better day for us
hang on and I will wait for you
Our love will always stay as good as new

It's a matter of time
only a matter of time
Time and tide nothing and no one can stop us now
for better for worse this time I'm sure it's gonna last
gonna last forever

We got time, oh baby there's no rush
gonna be a better day for us
hang on and I will wait for you
Our love will always stay as good as new

Our love will always stay as good as new
We got time, oh baby there's no rush
gonna be a better day for us
hang on and I will wait for you

TY4URLV by DIMSUM

My life was a constant uphill climb
Never got it right
Each one I loved went through a change of heart
You came and my world turned upside down
You sung a different tune
Can't let go
It keeps playing on my mind

Now there's a reason to wake up each day
A reason to shake my blues away
Now I am whole, a lucky soul
I wanna thank you for your love
Thank you
Thank you for your love

Confused
My heart was in a daze
Learn to live with pain
I loved to haste then watch it go to waste
You came and brought music to my soul
Inspired me to the very core
You touched me well
No one has been before

CHORUS:
Now there's a reason to wake up each day
I thank the Lord for sending you my way
Now I am whole, a lucky soul
I wanna thank you for your love

Thank you
Thank you for your love

I saw the world in shades of black and gray, yeah
Turning blue with every passing day
Just when I thought that maybe all was lost
My life took on a new turn
And it's all because
It's because

Repeat CHORUS

Now looking back
All the pain
No more dark clouds
No more rain

Thank you (Thank you)
Thank you for your love

WHEN CAN I SEE YOU AGAIN? by BABYFACE

When can my heart beat again
When does the pain ever end
When do the tears stop from running over
When does you'll get over it begin

I hear what you're sayin'
But I swear that it's not making sense
So when can I see you

CHORUS:
When can I see you again
When can my heart beat again
When can I see you again
And when can I breathe once again
And when can I see you (again)

When does my someday begin
When I'll find someone again
And what if I still am not truly over
What am I supposed to do then

Please hear what I'm sayin'
Even if, if it's not making sense
So when can I see you

(CHORUS)

Yeah baby
Please hear what I'm sayin'
Even if, if it's not making sense
So when can I see you

(CHORUS)

See you again
Again...

BAKA NAMAN by STONEFREE

'Di magawang alisin ang aking mata
Sa anghel na nakikita, iniibig na ba kita
O, ewan ko ba

'Di magawang magtanong ang aking bibig
Irog na dalaga, sino ka nga ba talaga
Kasi, kasi, kasi

CHORUS
Baka naman may minamahal ka nang iba
Iba naman ang 'yong tinitignan
Sige, sige, baka magsisi

Umiiwas sa 'yong mga tingin
Sa tuwing ika'y tumitingin
Tuwing ika'y tumitingin din sa 'kin, no

Nalilito, gustong ilabas, gusto rin namang itago na lang
Ngunit baka naman 'yong pagtawanan lamang
Kasi, kasi, kasi

[Repeat CHORUS]

Baka naman

Baka naman may minamahal ka nang iba
Iba naman ang 'yong tinitignan
Baka may minamahal ka nang iba
Iba naman ang 'yong tinitignan
Sige, sige, baka magsisi

BAKIT NGA BA? by RETROSPECT

akala ko noon
sa aking tanong, ikaw na ang tugon
kung ano bang nadarama
ng isang taong may minamahal

ngunit ngayo'y lito
muli kong tanong, o bakit ganito?
biglang nagbago, damdamin mo
tila ika'y lumalayo

refrain:
ngunit ano pang gagawin
puso'y kay hirap sagutin
mabuti pang wag mong isipin
mabuti pang huwag tanungin

chorus:
(kung) bakit nga ba?
kailangan pang matutong magmahal
bakit nga ba?
kung di rin lang ito magtatagal
hanggang kailan kailangang tanungin
ang puso ko at ulit ulitin sa sarili ito
bakit nga ba... bakit nga ba?

ano bang dahilan
kulang pa bang pag ibig na alay
bakit ba ganyan ang magmahal?
sa bandang huli'y masasaktan

(repeat refrain & chorus)

SHOULDA WOULDA COULDA by BEVERLY KNIGHT

People say that together we were both sides of the same coin
That we would shine like Venus in a clear night sky
We thought our love could overcome the circumstances
But my ambition wouldn't allow for compromise

I could see in the distance all the dreams that were clear to me
Every choice that I had to make left you on your own
Somehow the road we started down had split asunder
Too late to realise how far apart we'd grown.
How I wish I, wish I'd done a little bit more

Now " Shoulda woulda coulda," means I'm out of time
Coz "Shoulda woulda coulda", can't change your mind
And I wonder, wonder, wonder what I'm gonna do
"Shoulda woulda coulda" are the last words of a fool

People ask how it feels to live the kind of life others dream about
I tell them everybody gotta face their highs and their lows
And in my life there's a love I put aside, cause I was busy loving something else
So for every little thing you hold on to, you've got to let something else go

[Chorus]

Fool if I would now forsake the opportunities are fate
I know I'm right where I belong
But sometimes when I'm not so strong I..

[Chorus (x2)]

WHY WHEN HOW by JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE

Dum dum dum dum dum-dum
Do...
Do... Oooh...

You're still captivating even though it's been so long
You used to love me, tell me baby what went wrong
'Cause now you march to the beat of a different song

Try to understand that we needed space
But everywhere I turn I see your face
I've been waiting for you to come home
'Cause I don't want to be alone
I still love you

Why did you take away your love
When did you think to just give up
How am I supposed to carry on now
Without you
You are my light

I have changed girl since I last saw you
When you left, you don't know what you put me through
But my heart's still racing just being next to you

I can't escape the magic in your eyes
Is there a way to make you realize
There's no one more special to my heart
But you want us to be apart
I still love you

Why did you take away your love, baby
When did you think to just give up, yea
How am I supposed to carry on now
Without you

You were my world
You mean everything to me
You're the air I breathe
The song I sing
You were my queen, I was your king
But if we can try to work it out
We'll show the world what love is about
Baby come home cause I can't take no more
Of this loneliness
And emptiness

Why did you take away your love
(Take away your love)
When did you think to just give up
(Oh...)
How am I supposed to carry on now
Without you

Why did you take away your love
When did you think to just give up
How am I supposed to carry on
Without you
You are my
You are my light

SOON by MOONPOOLS & CATERPILLARS

o its said and done
o im not the only one
how was i to know
no one told me so
i just landed here and struggled to get by
nothing much to see
oh so naive
and then it hit me like it has 1,000 times

one day soon its going to happen to you
and when it does it wont be pretty
one day soon its going to happen to you
and when it does...i wont be there

o its said and done
o im not the only one
how was i to see
the only difference is me
to think that holding steady hands would do just fine
one day youll agree
that you are truer to yourself than
anyone of us will ever be

I'M READY by TEVIN CAMPBELL

Baby, it was uncool to love me
Then leave me standing here now
Without a goodbye
And maybe I am the fool you call me
'Cause I'll be here standing waiting
To hear you say to me

CHORUS:
I'm ready (You know I'm ready)
To love you (To love you)
Forever (Forever)
And ever, baby
Come and love me forever more

REPEAT CHORUS

Sometimes, when I'm alone I feel sad
'Cause I know you'll meet me once again
And take my pride
And maybe I am the fool you call me
'Cause I'll be here standing waiting
To hear you say to me

CHORUS

And once again I'll be right here
Waiting to share your love
And oh this for once
We'll forever be in love
