Good memories attached to this beautiful song from CHANTAL KREVIAZUK. Great Canadian female artist. Still a big fan!!
Let me show you what I'm made of
Good intentions are not enough
To get me though today and this life.
You're in the basement watching the TV,
I'm on the second floor watching the ceiling.
We sleep underneath the same big sky at night.
I dream the same dream we can fly
You can run from me
You can hide form me
But I am right beside you
In this life.
Let me tell you who you really are
You're my comfort
You're not a superstar
I can reach up and bring you back down to the ground
And give you everything you dream about
You can run from me
You can hide from me
But I am right beside you
In this life.
I'll give you all the things that I never get
Give you all I have and have no regret
Take you to the places that I've never been
Forgive you all the things that you cant forget
Take away the pain with my healing hands
Wash away your sins and set your spirit free
You can run from me
You can hide from me
But I am right beside you
In this life.
Let me show you what I'm made of * * * * * * * * * *

Di namalayan na malalim na ang gabi Pero ayoko sanang mag madali Kay tamis, kay sarap Ngunit ito na ang huli Kailangan na yata nating uwumwi
Hawakan mo aking kamay Bago tayo mag hiwalay Lahat lahat ibibigay, lahat lahat
Paalam sating huling sayaw May dulo pala ang langit Kaya't sabay tayong bibitaw Sa ating huling sayaw
(Adlib)
Paalam sating huling sayaw May dulo pala ang langit Kaya't sabay tayong bibitaw Sa ating huling sayaw,
Paalam sating huling sayaw May dulo pala ang langit Kaya't sabay tayong bibitaw Sa ating huling sayaw.
