In another lifetime
Gary Valenciano
I could hold on for a hundred years
When all else is gone
I would still be here
In a memory of things yet unseen
I’d remember all that we’ve never been
And I cannot wait to see
What life has in store for me
[chorus]
In another lifetime
It would be forever
In another world
Where you and I
Could be together
In another set of chances
I’d take the one’s I’d missed
And make you mine
If only for a time
My life would matter
In another life
And I’d stay as strong and I’d stay as true
And you’d have forever now to think it through
Coz I believe what wasn’t meant to be
Wasn’t meant for now and
Someday you’ll see
In a place and time we never know
I’d be standing there waiting for you
[Repeat Chorus]
[Bridge]
You would be mine
But until that time is now
I’d be holding on somehow
[Repeat Chorus]
[Coda]
But until that time
I’ll be holding onto forever
Until another life

Even for a while
Gary Valenciano
Why do hearts feel the way they do
Why does men wanna say that I love you
Till the end of time
Till I lose my mind
Till it’s over and left so far behind
I just can’t keep it all inside
So unbelievable how much I’ve tried
Yet I call for you
I long for you
And I say the words I wish you’d want to here
Though you’re never here
[chorus]
Our heats and though they beat as one
But in time, the time for us will never come
So I, I just go on
And just remember those eyes
That look right through my heat
The smile that shows what’s in you
That makes me wanna cry
Coz I know
I’ll never have you even for a while
Now all is said and done it seems
I keep remembering what I would call a dream
Where you came true
For a minute or two
That was all the time it took
To make me know you had to go
[Repeat Chorus]
Cause I know
I’ll never have you…
And I know
I’ll never have you
Even for a while…

Wag Mo Na Sanang Isipin
Gary Valenciano
Wag mo na sanang…
Ano pa kaya ang dapat gawin ng isang katulad ko
Upang paniwalaan at intindihin mo
Ang mga nais sabihin ng puso ko
Bigyan mo ako ng pagkakataon
Paliwanagan ang iyong isip
Kahit sandali lang, patutunayan ko lang
Na mahal kita hanggang ngayon
Oh, ang babae, nakakatuwa
Maliit na bagay lamang pinalalaki pa
Ba’t ayaw mong limutin ang nakaraan
‘Di mo na ako pinapansin, ‘di na rin minamasdan
Wag mo na sanang isipin ang mga nangyari sa atin noon
Kahit ano pang sabihin mo maibabalik pa natin ang kahapon
Sana naman hanggang dito na lang
Ang paghihirap kong ito
Dapat pa bang daanin, sa galit o tampuhan
Dadami pang problemang ‘di kailangan
Kailan pa ba o ‘di na ba
Tayo magkakasunduan
Kahit sandali lang patutunayan ko lang
Na minamahal mo pa ako
Oh, ang babae, nakakaaliw
Kahit sobra siyang pakipot, siya’y nakakabaliw
Ba’t ayaw mong limutin ang nakaraan
‘Di mo na ako pinapansin, ‘di na rin minamasdan
Wag mo na sanang isipin ang mga nangyari sa atin noon
Kahit ano pang sabihin mo maibabalik pa natin ang kahapon
Wag mo na sanang (wag mo na sanang), wag mo na sanang isipin (wag mo na sanang isipin)
Wag mo na sanang (wag mo na sanang), wag mo na sanang isipin (wag mo na sanang isipin)
‘Di mo na ako pinapansin, ‘di narin minamasdan
Wag mo na sanang (wag mo na sanang), wag mo na sanang isipin (wag mo na sanang isipin)
Wag mo na sanang (wag mo na sanang), wag mo na sanang isipin (wag mo na sanang isipin)
Kahit ano pang sabihin mo maibabalik pa natin ang kahapon
Wag mo na sanang (wag mo na sanang), wag mo na sanang isipin (wag mo na sanang isipin)
Wag mo na sanang (wag mo na sanang), wag mo na sanang isipin (wag mo na sanang isipin)
Wag mo na sanang isipin…

What you want
Gary Valenciano
Well I guess life has been lately
So exhausting, pressure’s pumpin’
All the hurt and the pain
They keep you goin’ to the same direction
And you’re feeling so down
And you wanna breakdown
You just but had enough of things
That blow your mind
And you say, “I can no longer takes this.”
What is it with all these loose and chances
Endless consequences
You don’t know where to go
Just to hide yourself
Escape your mad situation
You wanna say no
But you gotta let go
Even though you really don’t want these things in your life
And you say, “Give me a break”
[Chorus]
Know what you want
I know what you need
If you’re tied of it all
Just give it to me, yeah
I know what you want
I know what you need
Just believe and be saved and you’ll be free
Just keep your cool and put all your trust in me
And you will see
Entrust your life and just leave it up to me
And you will see
I know what you want, I know what you need (4x)
Wanna do what’s right but end up
Toying with the wrong intention
Turn away from the way tha’s got you
Struggling in the wrong direction
Now you wanna move on
But you gotta be strong
Gotta give up, givin’ in to the voices
In your mind making you scream
(I can no longer take this)
[bridge]
That’s why you need someone who loves you
Knows your needs and give it to you
Joy and peace each day is new
You’ll be tranquill, brave and still you’ll be fine
[Repeat Chorus 2x]
[Repeat 1st and last stanza]
[Repeat Chorus]

You are
Gary Valenciano
[chorus]
You are the love of my life
You are the hope that I cling to
You mean more than this world to me
I wouldn’t trade you for silver or gold
I wouldn’t trade you for the riches untold
You are, you are my everything
[Repeat]
I wouldn’t take one step without you
I could never go on
I couldn’t live one day without you
I don’t have the strength
To make it on my own
[Repeat Chorus]
Until the world stops turning
Until the stars fade from the sky
Until the sun stops rising
I need you in my life
And here’s the reason why
[Repeat Chorus]
Aug 25
Sana Bukas
Gary Valenciano
[verse 1]
Ilang ulit na ring ako ay nabigo
Ilang ulit pa ring nagsikap tumayo
Ilang kahapon at ngayon na ring ang nawala
Heto pa rin akong naniniwala
[verse 2]
Ilang pagsubok pa ang dadaanin ko
At matamo ko lamang ang pag-ibig mo
Hinahanap, hinihintay ang walang hanggan
Hanggang ngayon ako ay umaasang
[Chorus]
Sana bukas ay ibigin mo ako
At pagbigyan man lang ang puso kong ito
Sana bukas at magpakailanman
Ako’t ikaw (sana/na nga) ang siyang magkasama
Sana nga bukas
[verse 3]
Hind man mabibilang ang hirap at sakit
Kailanma’y di naghahanap ng kapalit
Pagka’t sapat na sa’kin ang minsa’y sinabi mo
Baka sakali ang isip ay magbago
[Repeat Chorus]
[bridge]
Malaman kong sadyang mula’t mula noon
Hinihintay mo lang ang tamang pagkakataon
Na aminin mo sa akin
Ang iyong tunay na damdamin
At sabihin na ako’y mahal mo rin woohh…
[Repeat Chorus]

Shake it off
Gary Valenciano
(Here we go… shake it, shake it…)
Look around what do you find
People all looking foe peace of mind
Where they’re looking, do you think they’ll ever find
They’re looking for
When they want some more
Let me take you on a funky ride
So you can see with your eyes
What the world’s gotta give
And how you gotta be
How you gotta walk the talk for all to see
No need to look further
Exposed yet kept undercover
Deceived to believe they’ve got it all together
Then boom, the means to fulfill
The dreams have vanished
It’s famished
It’s setback, step back
Goin’ all the way back
[Chorus 1]
When you’re out on the floor
Just get down n’ get movin’
Across the floor and shake it off
I say, shake it off
(Repeat)
[Chorus 2]
Shake it
Shake it off
And shake
And shake it off
And shake, shake, shake it off
And shake, shake it off
(Repeat)
Ooh, it’s a mindset
Strap yourself in
Ready for the roller coaster ride
Getting you on the other side
Ready to see the broad horizon
Where the sun will rise and
You can go against the flow
And be one of those who’s in the know
Of the truth in the word that says to you
Let go of the extra cargo
Time to get up and grow, bro
Stand up, stand firm, stand strong
Don’t sit out and wait too long
Watch out now, the enemy is like
A lion waiting for the opportunity to lie
[Repeat Chorus 1 & 2]
[Repeat Chorus]

Only a Friend
Gary Valenciano
[Verse 1]
You called me on the phone lat last night
The rain was pouring down as you cried
You said he hurt you bad
And that he broke your heart
Like all the others did
And so you though
You just needed to talk to a new friend
[Chorus]
Coz only a friend can mend a heart
That’s torn and broke in two
And only a friend can keep your trust
And love you (just for you/for just being you)
Only a fool can overlook
The way I look at you
But it doesn’t really matter after all
Coz I’m only a friend to you
[verse 2]
I told you life’s like that and it’s okay
I know he didn’t love you that much anyway
And I say, “Just look around
Who knows somewhere, somehow
Someone’s waiting to be found
So just let him go, then you will know
The one who’s loved you most
Is now the one who’s loving you back
[Repeat Chorus]
Bridge:
Will it matter if I told you
Just how much I long to
Be more to you
[Repeat Chorus]
Aug 23
Standing on the great divide
Feel the sudden need to fly
Underneath the open sky
And the river down below
I could keep on running down
I could keep on cheating death and yet somehow
It all ends up the same
And I don’t want to be the one who’s blamed
[refrain]
Can you see that I don’t really have a choice at all
If only for a taste flight
I’d gladly take the fall
[chorus]
So, I say I love you
I don’t wanna wait forever
Just to say, I need you
Doesn’t even have to matter
If it really matter anything to you
I’d gladly take this ride
As long as you are there on the other side
Not making sense at all
Of making sense of it all
So while I can, I’ll take the chance,
I’m diving in
If you need me, I will die
To feel alive again
[chorus]
So, I say I love you
I don’t wanna wait forever
Just to say, I need you
Doesn’t even have to matter
When I say I love you, yeah yeah
I’m falling like
I’ve never done so before
I’m flying against the wind
And here I go
[chorus]
So, I say I love you
I don’t wanna wait forever
Just to say, I need you
I don’t wanna wait forever, no, oh oh (I say I love you)
So, while I can I’ll take the chance
So, I’ll say, I need you
Doesn’t even have to matter
When I say…
I love you so (I love you), I need you
It doesn’t really matter (no, it doesn’t really matter)
If it really matters anything to you
I love you…

Lead me Lord, lead me by the hand
and make me face the rising sun
comfort me through all the pain
that life may bring
there’s no other hope
that I can lean upon
lead me Lord, lead me all my life
Walk by me, walk by me across
the lonely road that I may face
take my arms and let your hand
show me the way
show the way to live inside your heart
all my days, all my life
[refrain]
You are my light
you’re the lamb upon my feet
all the time my Lord
I need You there
you are my light
I cannot live alone
let me stay by your guiding love
all through my life
lead me Lord
Lead me Lord even though at times
i’d rather go alone my way
help me take the right direction
take your road, lead me Lord
and never leave my side
all my days, all my life
[refrain]
You are my light
you’re the lamb upon my feet
all the time my Lord
i need You there
you are my light
i cannot live alone
let me stay by your guiding love
All through my life
[refrain]
You are my light
you’re the lamb upon my feet
all the time my Lord
i need You there
you are my light
i just cannot live alone
let me stay by your guiding love
All through my life
All through my days
oh Lead me, O Lord …woohh
Lead me Lord
Dec 24
You asked me once some time ago
the reason for my loving you
and wanting you more and more
you know that I still love you
but should I let things be?
’cause saying that there’s someone new
is much too much for me
how long has this been goin’ on?
how long has it been since
he held you in his arms?
now what are you trying to tell me
what made you feel this way
i’d rather you say it out to me
than hurt me this way
[refrain]
‘Cause I close my eyes
thinkin’ of a way to make you realise
how hard it is for me to see you go
[chorus]
What more can I say?
you’re going away this time for real
now who is to blame
is it you, is it me?
is it right for him to steal, steal you away?
you’ve always been my darling
you know I want you to stay
This time tomorrow you’ll be gone
it’s hard to believe we’ve got to end
what’s hardly just begun
now what are you trying to tell me
what made you feel this way
i’d rather you say it out to me
than hurt me this way
[refrain]
‘Cause I close my eyes
thinkin’ of a way to make you realise
how hard it is for me to see you go
What more can I say?
you’re going away this time for real
now who is to blame
is it you, is it me?
is it right for him to steal, steal you away?
you’ve always been my darling
you know I need you to stay
Tell me this is not what it seems to be
just hold me tight and say I’m dreamin’
’cause IO can’t believe you’re leaving me behind
don’t let the flames disguise the fire
[refrain]
‘Cause I close my eyes
thinkin’ of a way to make you realise
how hard it is for me to see you go
[chorus]
What more can I say?
you’re going away this time for real
now who is to blame
is it you, is it me?
is it right for him to steal, steal you away?
you’ve always been my darling
you know I want you to stay
I’d like to hold you and love you tonight
i’d like to feel you and make things right
you know I love you, I wanna feel you
i wanna touch you and make things right
what more can I say?
