Count on Me
When you're weary,
You've got friend-don't you worry,
Will comfort you,
And listen to your story.
Let your tears fall down,
Here's my shoulder to cry on to,
Life's full of uncertainty,
But my love still rings true.
You had given selfless love,
Without asking in return,
But got warped,
And left up torn.
...when you're weary,
in a buzz,
i'll be there,
you can always count on me.

Sa pagihip ng amihan,
Sa dahon mo, sa'yong sanga,
Inaarok nitong diwa,
Damdamin mo aking sinta.
Batis kang kaygiliw,
Lahat ay namamangha,
Anong yumi, anong lambing,
Ng 'yong agos, o diwata!
O maari ba, bigkasin mo?
Lunggati at 'yong nasa,
Maalaman ng puso ko,
Loob mo at 'yong haka.
Kagandahang mong likas,
Inspirasyon ng makata,
'Ginuguhit, nilalaro,
Sa bawat salita.

Dreampt In Bed
I held you,
In my arms, in bed,
Under the warmth of the linen blanket,
Till morning we had kissed.
The ambience in the beach,
Startling, indeed!
The cold wind cannot fade,
The heat of the love we'd made.
I tremble and shiver,
My heart's in flicker,
Thoughts of make-believe,
But you're here, right my face.
As I woke,
Got stumble,
In a bed like a fool,
As I dreampt all night long.

My friends' say
We're not meant to
I said, no way!
I'll stay with you.
Lettin' you go
's not in my mind,
We can make
Our world go round.
We will build
A love so strong,
And I know,
We can't go wrong.
Though they say
We're not meant to,
I said, no way!
I love you so.
No way! no way!
' wont let you go.
No way! no way!
Our love was true.
No way! no way!
We can't go wrong.
This love of ours,
Will keep us strong.

I'm thru pretending,
Can't hide this longing,
Gotta let you know,
I care.
Funny may it seems,
Been day-dreaming,
Can't find the words,
To tell you so.
Wanna shout it out,
You're my dreamgirl,
Can't keep it any longer,
I want you so.
I'm tired of this feelings,
I'm thru pretending,
Gotta let you know,
I care.

Do DoDo you still remember?
One night in September,
We keep a pact together,
"I love you" means forever.
Sure as the flowing river,
Runs deeper and stronger,
You got to worry-never!
My love is yours.
Bright as the star,
Sweet as the rain,
Your love's a freedom,
My heart yearn.
Do you still remember?
One night in September,
Moonlit over,
"I love you" means forever.

You are light,
In my heart,
Air I breathe,
Why I'm alive.
Sweet surrender,
My delight,
Dream I dreamnt,
For life.
You're my strength,
To stand up high,
You lift up,
And give me pride.
Can't imagine
Live a life,
Without you,
By my side.
You're the sense,
My life's essence,
Sweet surrender,
Of my being.
(For my sweet surrender, Elsa & Sean)

good morning sunshine
dawn is breakin'
lights up my world,
filled with laughter.
morning dew,
bright daffodils,
delighted in bloom,
with butterfly kissin'.
hays in the meadow,
bending in the breeze,
whiff in the air,
so pleasant, oh so fresh!
cotton seeds sprinkle,
flown by the wind,
sparkles and shines,
in the open blue skies.
bluish-tinged water, oh so cool!
free-flowing from the stream,
goes to my feet
what a pleasant treat!
..)
Could we?
Stop pretending,
Show the real feelings,
Tell me what's inside your heart.
Let me...
Stop guessing,
Breathe the air refreshing,
Really wish you say,
...you love me too.
Could we?
Talk about it over,
Stay a little closer,
Waiting to hear you say,
...you love me too.
Could we?
Stop pretending,
Let our hearts decidin',
Got to hear you say,
...you love me too.

Had you ever wonder,
Why the stars are bright,
Why the sky is blue,
...because I think of you.
Had you ever wonder,
Why the meadows glow,
Why the lily grows,
...because I miss you so.
Had you ever wonder,
Why the blue birds sing,
Why the eagles cry,
...because I needed you.
Had you ever wonder,
Why I think of you,
Why I misses you,
Why I needed you,
...because I love you so.

Don't get so friendless
When RAIN fall down,
Just remember,
On the other side-it shines.
Whenever you're lonely,
Just whisper with the cloud,
I'll take away the rain,
And bring back the sunshine.
Whenever it rains,
Don't let the tears go down,
I'll chase the rainbow,
Over the clouds.
Bring you its' colors,
Shining so bright,
Light that glitters,
Forever in your heart.
(My wife gets so lonely whenever it rains....kasi binabaha ang bahay namin....hehehehe)
Ang PUSONG busilak
Malinis ang budhi.
Maitim na puso,
Sa may minimithi.
Ang pusong marupok,
Lumuluhang lagi.
Pusong kabilanin,
Ay masamang binhi.
Tunay nga, ang lahat-
---ng tao'y may puso.
Pusong tumitibok,
Pusong may pagsuyo.
Subalit ang taong,
Sa kapwa'y palalo,
Tao ngang may buhay,
Ngunit walang puso!
(excerpt)
When I first catch a glimpse of YOU
I am flabbergasted by your charm,
Your eyes is so engaging,
Your cheek, your lips-I desire.
My lonely and diffident heart,
enamored by your charm.
You're a star,
Dazzling bright,
Your gracious move,
your picturesque smile,
Quench the longing,
Of my yearning heart.
As you look at me
With your smile so warm,
Blue birds are singing,
I'm in cloud-9 !
Your tender love,
Is a dawning light,
A mellow sound,
Playing in my heart.
(Dedicated to my wife, Elsa.)
...dati
Summertime
When I first saw you,
I didn't catch your smile.
Just a simple look,
Then I wave goodbye.
When I get home,
Couldn't sleep at night.
Your picture in my brain,
Can't put out of my mind.
Summertime again,
Breeze is oh so warm.
Strollingsandy-beach,
Surf in the waves that comes.
As the sun sets in,
Here comes your smile that shines,
The girl I've seen before,
Got to talk awhile.
With a sip of beer,
My fear was overcome,
To ask you for a date,
Wishing you will be mine.
Summertime again,
With you we're on the sand,
Playing with our kid,
Summer is oh, so fun!
(Our love story, once upon a time in Kinalumbakan, Real Quezon)

PAG-IBIG, makapangyarihan,
Karingalan,
Ng mga bulaklak
Sa kaparangan.
Siya'y himig,
Ng mga agos ng tubig,
Sa sapang daluyan,
Sa kagubatan.
Siya'y bagwis,
Ng mga paru-parong
Lilipad-lipad,
Sa ligid-ligid ng daan.
Siya'y kulay,
Ng mga dahon at damong
Ginto at luntian,
Sa kapatagan.
Siya'y ilaw,
Isang tanglaw,
Sa pusong naliligaw,
Sa karimlan.
Siya'y tula,
isang awit,
Sa puso ng makata,
Kung iyong pakikinggan.
Pag-ibig ay,
Siyang buhay,
Siyang tunay,
Makapangyarihan!
Though we're miles apart
You're always in my heart,
My love rings true,
This I promise you.
Remember this, I swear,
In winter and in spring,
My love will still remain,
Yearning... to see you once again.
There may be rain or storm,
Our love will keep us strong,
We'll stand the test of time,
Forever I am yours...
...and you are mine.
