IT'S ALL YOU

Let the queens exhibit their diamonds
The arty dames brag their designs
Or the petticoats talk much about themselves
But still, you are my most perfect. . .

It's all you that my eyes could see!



Vanity is all around
Show-offs of what they call beauty
Babble of noisy dolls
But still, you are my music. . .

It's all you that my ears could hear!



Let those flowers reveal their thorns
And as well their rotten odors
Yet they'll never deceive a wise heart
And it truly beats fast when you are near. . .

It's all you that my heart could love!



It's all you that my mind could think about
Love never asks you to change.

It's all you that I want to be with
The way you cared me is a fantasy.

It's you that all I know
Your genuine simplicity is all I remember.

It's you, and you are my all.

true story of koelbie and bleic
(exalting inspiration drove me a more heartfelt piece)

THROUGH YOUNG AND OLD

We have already determined forever
Since the time our hands held together
From that moment I have found you
My heart was certain that it is you.

                                                              
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
          








We were strangers, but our destinies are friend.
 It's never been easy to find you
That heart w/ pure forever love
 Now it is my vow to hold on
 A commitment to die for.
 Lo, it was the work of Almighty's  hand

Remember: tis so true from my heart

By your side means all my life
To live with you is all I ask
Thru ups and downs I'll hold your hand
Thru young and old I devote my love.

NARITO ANG AMING KALIGAYAHAN

Lunggati ng mga hinirang 
Itong pananagutang sinumpaan
Gabay Mong ipinangako
Ang dito'y nararanasan
Yaman kung maituturing 
At ito na ang kaaliwan.

Ang mga pagpupuri
Na lubhang kagila-gilalas
Ginaganap dito ng buong kataimtiman.

Pag-ibig Mong ibinubuhos
Ang siyang inihahaplos
Gumagaling ang sugat
Sa damdaming nahirapan.
At dahil sa mga salita Mong
Mula doo'y tinatanggap
Binubuhay Mong muli 
Ang pag-asang nalinsad.
