silliman memory
twenty five years ago
at the port in dumaguete
my boat arrived
from Cebu
from Davao
and there was a little shower of rain
so fine and
my hair was wet
and damp

and there she was waiting
as i went down the stairs of the boat
lowered down
she held me
by her hand
telling me that her love
was true
and i kissed her
telling her
that my love
was as true as hers

++++++++++++++++++
outside the rain begins
and it will never end
++++++++++++++++++

that was twenty five years ago

for a love that never pushed through
for a love that should have been true.

You Need Love Like I Do (feat. Heather Small)

From The RELOAD Album
Tom Jones with Heather Small
Well, well, well
It seems like it was only yesterday
When my Momma told me dont fall in love with the first girl that comes your way
She was pretty and nice but I took her advice and passed her by
Years have passed and it dont look like loves gonna give me a second try
Boy the look on your face tells me you understand
Could it be your love life, like mine needs a helping hand
Yeah You need love like I do, dont you?
I can tell by the way you look, when Im looking at you
I know it aint fit and proper for a girl to talk this way
But I cant cope with this loneliness, not one more dog-gone day
Every day has been an uphill climb to keeping my hopes afloat
Judging by your silence boy, you must be in the same boat
And again now
You need love like I do, dont you?
I can tell by the way you look, when Im looking at you - well, well, well, well,
You need love like I do, dont you?
It seems like Im looking in the mirror, when Im looking at you
I cant begin to tell how many night times have been all lonely,
Come on tell me girl does it ever happen to you?
Im gonna tell you something and believe me it aint no joke,
My love life is just like a sinking boat
I can understand a person being without money
But surely there isnt a reason for a person to be without love.
Listen to me now; Im a girl and youre a guy
Yes its true
Come on lets give love a try
He he damn
You need love like I do, dont you?
I can tell by the way you look, when Im looking at you
You find that true love is a dream that everyone wants to come true
Cant you see its up to us to make this dream come true
Yeah! You need love like I do, dont you?
I can tell by the way you look, when Im looking at you - well, well, well
You need love like I do, dont you?
Well It seems like Im looking in the mirror, when Im looking at you
Aint it true, Aint it true, Aint it true, Aint it true, Aint it true,
Yes, its true, yes its true, true, true
You need love like I do, dont you?
I can tell by the way you look, when Im looking at you
You need love like I do, dont you?
Well, it seems like Im looking in the mirror, when Im looking at you
You need love like I do, dont you?
I can tell by the way you look, when Im looking at you,
You need love like I do, dont you?
Well It seems like Im looking in the mirror, when Im looking at you.
Aint it true girl, Im in love, Im in love cause I need you, and I need you too.

Oh, hold me tight here in your arms tonight.

Rain Love

Rain Rain Love
Rain Rain Love
Rain Rain Love
Rain Rain Love
Threw out my old raincoat
Set sail without a boat
For places somewhere far beyond my dreams
As the sky came pouring down
I lay down on the ground
Like I was dreaming, I let the feeling wash all over me
Rain Love Covered around me
Rain Rain Love Finally found me
This time you're gonna recognise
One drop will open up your eyes
Rain Love
It's the colour of every sky
It's the way to change the tide
When the world is crumbling down on you and me
It's the calm that lifts the storm
It's the promise that keeps you warm
When you don't understand, just touch the guiding hand that comforts me
Rain Love...
Takes this lot to make you realise
No greater love could ever fill the sky
Rain Love....

True Love

True love passes all understandings.
True love expresses loyalty.
True love hurts but can learn how to mend.
True love dreams the highest dreams.
True love waits until the stars visit the day.
True love seeks good for the other.
True love lends forgiveness.
True love cries but washes away the pains.
True love makes an ignorant boy a mature man.
True love softens the heart of a girl to a nurtured woman.
True love never lies.
True love loves a person until forever.
True love sees love even though the hair is white.
And most of all.TRUE LOVE never breaks promises,

Shower The People

You can play the game and you can act out the part
Though you know it wasnt written for you
But tell me, how can you stand there with your broken heart
Ashamed of playing the fool
One thing can lead to another; it doesnt take any sacrifice
Oh, father and mother, sister and brother
If it feels nice, dont think twice
Just shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna work out fine if you only will
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way you feel
Things are gonna be much better if you only will
You can run but you cannot hide
This is widely known
And what you plan to do with your foolish pride
When youre all by yourself alone
Once you tell somebody the way that you feel
You can feel it beginning to ease
I think its true what they say about the squeaky wheel
Always getting the grease.
Better to shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna be just fine if you only will
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna be much better if you only will
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Youll feel better right away
Dont take much to do
Sell you pride
They say in every life
They say the rain must fall
Just like pouring rain
Make it rain
Make it rain
Love, love, love is sunshine.
Oh yes
Make it rain
Love, love, love is sunshine
Yeah, all right
Everybody, everybody
Shower the people you love with love

The moments linger past midnight

The moments linger past midnight
while our emotions grow high
with love,
the true love between us.

Both of your eyes look deep into my heart
words are needless
with love,
the true love between us.

For hours we are caught in each other
with only hungry body language
with love,
the true love between us

The two red candles burn to their brim
when hot kisses rain down
with love,
the true love between us.

In my arms you cling to my body
and peace feels blissful
with love,
the true love between us.

Outside the wind jerks wildly at the window
but we know tranquillity
with love,
the true love between us.

New Love

Theres a barge going by on the river.
Yellow against the blue.
Theres a bus driving up along the bridge
And its red like the color of new love.
And I need new love
And I need true love.
And I need to be held.
And I need to be told
Theres more to come.
Theres a woman beside a window.
Quiet against the street.
Theres a man beside a magazine stand.
Looks like hes waiting to meet some one.
And I need new love
And I need true love.
And I need to be held.
And I need to be told
Theres more to come.
And everything reminds me of you.
And everything reminds me of things we used to do.
Even though I miss you, I know were through.
And I need to find something new.
And I need new love
And I need true love.
And I need to be held.
And I need to be told
Theres more to come.
Theres a man playing guitar in the subway.
Gentle against the crowd.
Theres a kid in the upstairs apartment.
Plays his recorder, wakes me up from above.
And I need new love
And I need true love.
And I need to be held.
And I need to be told
Theres more to come.

True Love Survives

On big alley stands a lady waiting
For awhile
Acting out an untold story like a
Wounded child
But the mystery of the circumstance
Wont hide
She believes true love survives
True love survives
Waiting for her long lost lover
Returning from the war
Though I know she knew the truth
She also knew much more
And the answer that she gave to all of us
Whispered low saying
True love survives
True love survives
Is she dreaming does she know
A secret I cant see
Maybe theres a trace of truth
In all that she believes
For one day I took a look deep down inside
A voice cried saying true loves alive
True love survives
Only love will last forever true love will survive
Only love will last forever true love will survive
True is love is never-ending
Its giving all and not pretending
Its holding on although your heart
Feels dead
A quarter of a century of years
Have gone by
Still the dream of this peculiar
Ladys kept alive
So Im holding tight to one who I desired
A burning fire saying true love survives
True love survives
Only love will last forever
Only love will last forever

will you believe me if I speak of love?

If I speak of love, it is because love speaks
To me, like we are having this conversation
About love itself, and I ask love that if I speak
Of love, will love believe me?
And love sighed, and finds this question
Too self-serving for itself, for love could
Be biased too, telling me that if I speak
Of her, she will believe me, oh, that would
Be too unnecessary of love, to speak about itself,
For love to believe in love from love itself
Who is asking about love,
About me and telling me, she will believe me,
In fact, this would be too confusing, too confusing,
But I speak of her today, and I speak of myself
Too, believing about this love of mine,
And so confused we see each other eye to eye,
The eye of love to my eye of true love,
Talking heart to a true heart,
The heart of love talking to the heart of true love,
and finally, though confused, and still taking breaths,

love, she finally,
Said, yes, love believes me, love believes my love,
love speaks of love, love believes in love,
In my love, and there is no other. Love begets love.
That is what human history had always told to itself.

Soldier, Soldier

"Soldier, soldier come from the wars,
Why don't you march with my true love?"
"We're fresh from off the ship an' 'e's maybe give the slip,
An' you'd best go look for a new love."
New love! True love!
Best go look for a new love,
The dead they cannot rise, an' you'd better dry your eyes,
An' you'd best go look for a new love.

"Soldier, soldier come from the wars,
What did you see o' my true love?"
"I seed 'im serve the Queen in a suit o' rifle-green,
An' you'd best go look for a new love."

"Soldier, soldier come from the wars,
Did ye see no more o' my true love?"
"I seed 'im runnin' by when the shots begun to fly --
But you'd best go look for a new love."

"Soldier, soldier come from the wars,
Did aught take 'arm to my true love?"
"I couldn't see the fight, for the smoke it lay so white --
An' you'd best go look for a new love."

"Soldier, soldier come from the wars,
I'll up an' tend to my true love!"
"'E's lying on the dead with a bullet through 'is 'ead,
An' you'd best go look for a new love."

"Soldier, soldier come from the wars,
I'll down an' die with my true love!"
"The pit we dug'll 'ide 'im an' the twenty men beside 'im --
An' you'd best go look for a new love."

"Soldier, soldier come from the wars,
Do you bring no sign from my true love?"
"I bring a lock of 'air that 'e allus used to wear,
An' you'd best go look for a new love."

"Soldier, soldier come from the wars,
O then I know it's true I've lost my true love!"
"An' I tell you truth again -- when you've lost the feel o' pain
You'd best take me for your true love."
True love! New love!
Best take 'im for a new love,
The dead they cannot rise, an' you'd better dry your eyes,
An' you'd best take 'im for your true love.

One True Love

All above me the stars are bright
And a sweet suburban breeze is blowing
And down the block are the parking lights
Of a hundred friends who I barely know and
Don't know me
Don't know me
None of them know me

And all through the party I want to leave
(All alone with one true love)
I could be happy if I could be
(In the dark with one true love)

And in the middle of everyone
I still find myself with my thoughts alone
And in the middle of all the noise
Look around myself at the shining toys that
I don't need
I don't need
I don't really need

And all through the party I want to leave
(All alone with one true love)
All of the lights are shining on me
(But all I want is one true love)

In this world I can see
Many billions waiting in the sun
So I'd love to believe
There'd be one of us for everyone
One of us for everyone
Enough to go around
But that's not what I've found

And all through the party I want to leave
(All alone with one true love)
All of the lights are shining on me
(All I want is one true love)
All of my life I've just wanted to be
(All alone with one true love)
Every day and night to be on my own with
One true love
With one true love
With one true love
With one true love
With one true love

True Love

There’s something more to love
Than saying, ‘I love you! ’
There’s something more to love
Than asking, ‘How do you do? ’

There’s something more to love
Than catching hands to walk;
There’s something more to love
Than everything you talk.

There’s something more to love
Than writing letters long;
There’s something more to love
Than composing a song.

There’s something more to love
Than embracing, kissing;
There’s something more to love
Than enquiring, hugging.

There’s something more to love
Than cooking dainty foods;
There’s something more to love
Than romance or sex-moods.

There’s something more to love
Than doing house-hold chores;
There’s something more to love
Than opening heart’s doors.

There’s something more to love
Than inking poetry;
There’s something more to love
Than sinking hate truly.

There’s something more to love
Than touring the whole world;
There’s something more to love
Than forget bad words hurled.

There’s something more to love
Than entwining in bed;
There’s something more to love
Than things all done or said.

True love is undefined;
True love is invisible;
True love is most refined;
True love’s indelible!

True love is celestial;
True love is more concealed;
True love’s perennial;
True love stays least revealed!

True love’s ill-understood;
True love is tested much;
True love’s misunderstood;
True love has divine touch!

Sunny,
Yesterday my life was filled with rain.
Sunny,
You smiled at me and really eased the pain.
The dark days are gone,
And the bright days are here,
My Sunny one shines so sincere.
Sunny one so true,
I love you.
Sunny,
Thank you for the sunshine bouquet.
Sunny,
Thank you for the love you brought my way.
You gave to me your all and all.
Now I feel ten feet tall.
Sunny one so true,
I love you.
Sunny, thank you for the truth you let me see.
Sunny, thank you for the facts from A to C.
My life was torn like a windblown sand,
And the rock was formed when you held my hand.
Sunny one so true,
I love you.

Thank you for the smile upon your face.

Thank you for the gleam that shows its grace.
You're my spark of nature's fire,
You're my sweet complete desire.

True Love Takes Time

This song was first released on the one world album. it is the only album it has been released on.
As I travel down the road and search the empty sky
Waiting for the moment when my eyes will see
Many are the memories the mysteries of time
How they dance around and whisper endlessly
Yes Ive travelled down this road before
Where so many men have come and gone
But you know it takes time
(true love takes time)
You know that true love takes time
(true love takes time)
And its so very hard to find
(true love takes time)
You know that love takes time
It seemed impossible that I could care again
So it seemed I had forgotten how to give
What is this miracle that brings me back my dreams
All at once I can remember how to live
Yes Ive travelled down this road before
Where so many men have come and gone
But you know it takes time
(true love takes time)
You know that true love takes time
(true love takes time)
And its so very hard to find
(true love takes time)
You know that true love takes time
I have been too much alone for oh so many years
Looking for someone to sing with me
Sweet harmony
My heart is open now and tender to the touch
But there is love enough to heal me in your hands
Ill give you all my nights
All my sun and rainy days
Ill give you all the time it takes to understand
Weve travelled down this road before
Where so many fools have come and gone
But you know it takes time
(true love takes time)
You know that true love takes time
(true love takes time)
And its so very hard to find
(true love takes time)
You know that true love takes time
(true love takes time)
(true love takes time)
(true love takes time)

I Could Really Love You

(eric carmen/dean pitchford)
I never quite know what to do
When Im with you
(when Im with you)
Im never really sure if Im doin things right
I never know the words to say
The games to play,
But thats okay
I bet that I could get you through the night
Oh, I could really love you
I swear (I swear)
Its true (its true)
There isnt much Im certain of
But this much I can do
Oh, I could really love you
I know theres lots of other men
Who talk of love
(theyll talk of love)
Theyll sweep you off your feet with the way they live
After all those champagne highs
And quick goodbyes
Youll realize theres something more
That only I could give
Oh, I could really love you
I swear (I swear)
Its true (its true)
There isnt much Im certain of
But this much I can do
Oh, I could really love you
And even though youre waiting for your perfect love
You dont have to wait around no more
I could really love you
I swear (I swear)
Its true (its true)
There isnt much Im certain of
But this much I can do
Oh, I could really love you
I could really love you
I swear (I swear)
Its true (its true)
There isnt much Im certain of
But this much I can do
Oh, I could really love you

Ten Grey hairs and a silver one

I discovered my first grey hair
when I was Seventeen years old
It had to do with broken up my first relationship

I discovered my second grey hair
when I was Twenty years old
It had to do with the quarrels at home

I discovered my third grey hair
when I was Twenty-one years old
It had to do with searching for work

I discovered my fourth grey hair
when I was Twenty-three years old
It had to do with loosing my job

I discovered my fifth grey hair
when I was Twenty-five years old
It had to do with giving up my unborn child

I discovered my sixth grey hair
When I was Twenty-eight years old
It had to do with opening my pub

I discovered my seventh grey hair
When I was thirty years old
It had to do with giving birth to my daughter

I discovered my eight grey hair
When I was thirty –two years old
It had to do with the first day at the kinder garden school

I discovered my ninth grey hair
When I was thirty-four years old
It had to do with to find out that some thing was missing

I discovered my tenth grey hair
When I was thirty-five years old
It had to do with the fights between my sisters and mum

My one Silver hair I discovered lately
Has to do with you
Because I miss you so hard …

True Love Is Gone

True love is weak, when lovers are weak,
True love is meaningless, when lovers are useless,
True love is not true, when lovers are untrue,
True love is wickedness if lovers are wicked,

One sided love, is not true love,
Fault finding in love isn't its stand,
It isn't perfectness, but affections
Nor not for something on somebody,

True love is dead, when it is believed to alive,
True love is wrong if lovers are right,
True love will lose, if lovers are winners,
True love is gone if lovers stays.
