My friends and I were spending the sunday afternoon sound tripping. I started with my 70's retrospect CD and we were all eager to name the title of the song
and sing the lyrics that we were familiar with, mostly the chorus part. I belted out Angela Bofill's "If I Believe". I've always loved that song but never really paid attention to the lyrics because I was crossing the borderline of cynicism. But it's different now. I wanted to sing because I wanted to serenade him. Yes, "my special sauce" was right in front of me, staring and smiling at me, and teasing me to stop coz he might fall in love with me even more. Stubborn me, I finished
the whole song, performance level at that. So there I was, sitting on the floor, with my legs crossed, a singer and deejay-wannabe in her undies. They joined me in my "concert". We belted out, we reminisced, we had fun. Four makati young urbanites spending a lazy sunday afternoon at the condo with packs of cigarette, COKE, chips and my KFC brownies. He asked me to stand up and dance with him while the song "Hold Me" was being played. We hugged while we danced, and I felt secure with the silence. No words were spoken. He looked at me straight in my eyes, ran his fingers through my face, and told me three words. Three words that were music
not only to my ears, but to my life. We hugged each other tight, we cried, we said our piece, we expressed our fears, we opened up our hearts, we gave ourselves a chance to work as a team to a commitment of the union of two souls. I would never forget that song. I probably had him with the senti songs, but it was unintentional. I would never forget that moment. It was OUR MOMENT. And it is PRICELESS. The lazy sunday afternoon turned out to be the happiest
day of my life. I felt serenity within. He's a happy man, that's his song for me; and I am a happy woman who promises not to betray his trust in me. "Hold Me" I hold you, I touch you Make you my woman I'll give you my love With sweet surrender Tonight our hearts will beat as one And I'll hold you, I'll touch you Make you my woman tonight There's something in your eyes I see A pure and simple honesty Chorus: Hold me in your arms tonight
Fill my life with pleasure Let's not waste this precious time This moment's ours to treasure Hold me in your arms tonight We'll make it last forever When the morning sun appears We'll find our way together I believe you When you say that you love me Know that I won't take you for granted Tonight the magic has begun So won't you hold me touch me Make me a woman tonight There's something in your eyes I see I won't betray your trust in me "Happy Man" Merely by
chance Very unsuspecting You caught my heart Unprotecting me Now I've fallen in love with you Just when I thought Life was free and easy You came along to me Soft and breezy Now I've fallen in love with you And for the first time in my life I know what it's like to be a happy man Happy man And for the first time in my life You've given me something I can't understand Now that I'm a happy man Be with me now Love me forever Leaving you lady Is something that I'd never do I've fallen in love with you All of my life it seems I have waited Now I can say all these words I
have stated are true I've fallen in love with you I've fallen in love with you
