Dance With Me Tonight

by Hugh Grant

It’s been so long
Since I’ve known right from wrong
Got no choice
Sometimes I just sit down and sob
Wondering if anything will go right
Oh will you dance with me tonight?

When the Sunday nights
I feel a hole down in my heart
Put on some shoes
Come down here
And listen to the blues
Wondering if anything will go right
Oh will you dance with me tonight?

I’m looking at you, you’re looking at me
We’re the only two off the dance floor
Do you see what I see?
Two long goodbyes
Working in harmony
I’d make for a decent time
So get up and dance with me
I know that it seems that the grass will grow
Better on the other side of the barbwire fence
But that other side is not in sight
So I’m fine with what I have now
If you’ll dance with me tonight

What’s the point of life if risk is just a board game?
You roll the dice but you’re just hoping that the rules change
What’s the point if you can’t bring yourself to say
The things you want to say
Like dance with my tonight

Our Love Is Here to Stay

by Nat King Cole

It's very clear, our love is here to stay
Not for a year but ever and a day
The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies and in time may go

But oh, my dear, our love is here to stay
Together we're going a long, long way
In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
But our love is here to stay

In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
But our love is here to stay

I Didn’t Know I Was Looking For Love

I was alone thinking I was just fine
I wasn’t looking for anyone to be mine
I thought love was just a fabrication
A train that wouldn’t stop at my station
Home alone, that was my consignment
Solitary confinement
So when we met I was gettin around you
I didn’t know I was looking for love until I found you…

I didn’t know I was looking for love until I found you, honey
I didn’t know I was looking for love until I found you, baby, oh no
I didn’t know I was looking for love
I didn’t know I was looking for love

Coz there you stood and I would
Oh I wonder could I say how I felt and not be misunderstood
A thousand stars came into my system
I never knew how much I had missed them
Slap on the map of my heart you landed
I was coy but you made me candid
And now the planets circle around you
I didn’t know I was looking for love until I found you…

I didn’t know I was looking for love until I found you, baby
I didn’t know I was looking for love until I found you, baby
I didn’t know I was looking for love
I didn’t know I was looking for love

So we build from here with love as the foundation
In a world of tears won consolation
And now you’re here there’s a full brass band
Playin’ in me like a wonderland
And if you left I would be two-foot small
And every tear would be a waterfall
Soundless, boundless I surround you
I didn’t know I was looking for love until I found you
I just didn’t know
Didn’t know I was looking for love until I found you..
Love…love…
I just didn’t know…
love…love…
Until I found you
Didn’t know I was looking for love…
Love…love..
Until I found you…

Born For You

by David Pomeranz

Too many billion people
Running around the planet
What is the chance in heaven
That you'd find your way to me?
Tell me what is this sweet sensation?
It's a miracle that's happened
Though I search for an explanation
Only one thing it could be -

That I was born for you
It was written in the stars
Yes, I was born for you
And the choice was never ours
It's as if the powers of the universe
Conspired to make you mine
And til the day I die,
I bless the day that I was born for you

Too many foolish people
Trying to come between us
None of them seem to matter
When I look into your eyes
Now I know why I belong here
In your arms I found the answer
Somehow nothing would seem so wrong here
If they'd only realise

That I was born for you
And that you were born for me
And in this random world,
This was clearly meant to be
What we have the world could never understand
Or ever take away
And till the day I die
I bless the day that I was born for you

What we have the world could never understand
Or ever take away
And as the years go by
Until the day I die
I bless the day that I was born for you

Sleeps With Butterflies

by Tori Amos


Airplanes
Take you away again
Are you flying
Above where we live
Then I look up a glare in my eyes
Are you having regrets about last night
I'm not but I like rivers that rush in
So then I dove inIs there trouble ahead
For you the acrobat
I won't push you unless you have a net

You say the word
You know I will find you
Or if you need some time
I don't mind
I don't hold on
To the tail of your kite
I'm not like the girls that you've known
But I believe I'm worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl only sleeps with butterflies
With butterflie
sSo go on and fly then boy

Balloons
Look good from on the ground
I fear with pins and needles around
We may fall then stumble
Upon a carousel
It could take us anywhere

I'm not like the girls that you've known
But I believe I'm worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl only sleeps with butterflies
With butterflies
With butterflies
So go on and fly boy

'Til They Take My Heart Away

This is one of my favorite songs. I love it so much. I always think of Ruther when I hear this song. I even sing this at karaoke! I don't think I'll ever get fed up of this.

Til They Take My Heart Away
Claire Marlow


I look into your eyes, so far away
There's trouble on your mind, you're losing faith
Hey now, let me hold you, it'll be OK
Cause I will love you till they take my heart away

Remember when you called and said goodbye
You thought we'd lost it all and so did I
But even if I'd lost you, I would feel the same
I will love you till they take my heart away

Believe I'm here to stay
I will love you till they take my heart away

Now we're stronger than before, we've made it through
I've never felt more sure because of you
Hey now, are you listening, can you hear me say?
I will love you till they take my heart away

(instr. bridge)
Believe in me, I'm here to stay
I will love you till they take my heart away

Think of Me (Phantom of the Opera)

Another one of my favorite songs...


Think of Me

Think of me, think of me fondly,
When we've said goodbye.
Remember me once in a while
Please promise me you'll try.

When you find that, once again, you long
To take your heart back and be free
If you ever find a moment,
Spare a thought for me

We never said our love was evergreen,
Or as unchanging as the sea
But if you can still remember
Stop and think of me . . .

Think of all the things we've shared and seen
Don't think about the way things might have been . . .

Think of me, think of me waking,
Silent andresigned.
Imagine me, trying too hard
To put you from my mind.

Recall those days
Look back on all those times,
Think of the things we'll never do
There will never be a day when
I won't think of you . .

RAOUL
Can it be?
Can it be Christine?
Bravo!

Long ago,
It seems so long ago,
How young and innocent we were
She may not remember me,
But I remember her.

Flowers fade,
The fruits of summer fade,
They have their seasons, so do we.
But please promise me that sometimes
You will think...
Of me!

Para Lang Sa 'Yo (Just for You)

by Aiza Seguerra


Noo’y umiibig na ako
Subalit nasaktan ang puso
Parang ayko nang umiibig pang muli
May takot na nadarama
Na muli ay maranasan
Ayoko nang masaktan muli ang puso ko

Ngunit ng ikaw ay makilala
Biglang nagbago ang andarama

Chorus
Para sa’yo
Ako’y iibig pang muli
Dahil sa’yo
Ako’y iibig nang muli
Ang aking puso’y pag-ingatan mo
Dahil sa iyo’y muling magmamahal sa’yo
Para lang sa’yo

Muli ay aking nadama
Kung paano ang umibig
Masakat man ang nakaraa’y malimot na …
Ang tulad mo’y naiiba
At sa’yo lamang nakita
Ang tunay na pag-ibig na aking hinahanap

Buti na lang ika’y nakilala
Binago mo ang nadarama

(Chorus)

Bridge
Ako’y di na muling mag-isa
Ikaw na nga ang hinihintay ng puso ko

(Chorus)

Bukas Palad (Open Palms)

I don't know why but when I hear this song in church it always makes me cry. Maybe it's because of the wonderful melody or because of the beautiful words but it always strikes a chord in my heart. It's just a very moving song and I always love to sing along with the choir. It just feels like I'm really talking to God through the song. Really just beautiful. This song is usually sung during Communion.


Panalangin Sa Pagiging Bukas Palad

Panginoon, turuan Mo ako maging bukas-palad
Turuan Mo akong maglingkod sa Iyo
Na magbigay nang ayon sa nararapat
Na walang hinihintay mula sa 'Yo

Nang makibakang di inaalintana
Mga hirap na dinaranas
Sa tuwina'y magsumikap na hindi humahanap
Ng kapalit na kaginhawaan
Na 'di naghihintay kundi ang aking mabatid
Na ang loob Mo'y siyang sinusundan

Panginoon, turuan Mo ako maging bukas-palad
Turuan Mo akong maglingkod sa Iyo
Na magbigay nang ayon sa nararapat
Na walang hinihintay mula sa 'Yo

Big Girls Don't Cry

by Fergie

Da Da Da Da
The smell of your skin lingers on me now
You're probably on your flight back to your home town
I need some shelter of my own protection baby
To be with myself and center, clarity
Peace, Serenity

[CHORUS:]
I hope you now, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry

The path that I'm walkingI must go alone
I must take the baby steps 'til I'm full grown, full grown
Fairytales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay

[CHORUS]

Like the little school mate in the school yard
We'll play jacks and uno cards
I'll be your best friend and you'll be my Valentine
Yes you can hold my hand if you want to
'Cause I want to hold yours too
We'll be playmates and lovers and share our secret worlds
But it's time for me to go home
It's getting late, dark outside
I need to be with myself and center, clarity
Peace, Serenity
[CHORUS]

La Da Da Da Da Da

Love The Song

I love this song. I also recently listened to the Taiyou no Uta soundtrack and I really love it! I sooo love moving instrumental pieces. Anyway, this is will definitely be in my phone for a while...


Taiyou No Uta
Kaoru Amane

Furuete iru watashi no te ni
Hajimete kimi ga furete
Yasashii kimochi atatakasa ni
Yatto kizuitan da

Tozashita mado akereba
Atarashii kaze ga fuita

Waratte naite kimi to deaete
Mieru sekai wa kagayakidashita
Himawari yureru taiyou no shita de
Kanjite ita kaze wo kimi wo

Shinjiru koto mayou koto mo
Tachidomaru koto mo zenbu
Watashi ga ima koko de ikiteru
Kotae ka mo shirenai

Monokuro no mainichi ga
Irozuite yuku you ni

Waratte naite kimi to deaete
Tsuzuku mirai wa kagayaite ita
Himawari yureru taiyou no shita de
Watashi no mama ashita wo utau yo

Kagiri aru hibi wo tomaranai jikan wo
Dore dake aiseru kana?
Aiseru yo ne
Kimi ga ireba hikari sae mo
Sorasanai de

Waratte naite kimi to deaete
Tsuzuku mirai wa kagayaite ita
Himawari yureru taiyou no shita de
Watashi no mama ashita wo
Arigatou tsutaetai ima nara ieru yo
Sugoshita kisetsu mo wasure wa shinai yo
Himawari yureru taiyou no you ni
Watashi no uta kimi wo terasu yo

Watashi no mama kimi wo...



Translation:

You touched my trembling hand
For the first time
And I finally experienced
A gentle feeling of warmth
I opened the window that had been shut
And a new wind blew in
Laughing, crying, meeting you
The world I saw began to shine
Under the sun where the sunflowers swayed
I felt the wind, I felt you
Believing, being lost,
And stopping short, and everything
Maybe it’s all an answer
To why I’m alive here and now
Let my monochromatic days
Take on colour
Laughing, crying, meeting you
The future ahead of us was shining
Under the sun where the sunflowers sway
I sing about tomorrow as I am
How much can we love each other
In this unstoppable time, these limited days?
We can love each other, right?
When you're here,
I don't even turn away from the light
Laughing, crying, meeting you
The future ahead of us was shining
Under the sun where the sunflowers sway
I sing about tomorrow
I want to say thank you,
I can say it now
I won't forget the seasons we’ve spent
Like the sun the sunflowers sway under
My song will shine on you
For you, as I am...
