Lyrics

[00:02.514] Oh, come on
[00:04.626] Did you really think I was gonna do the entire show in Filipino?
[00:13.681] My romance doesn't have to have a moon in the sky
[00:20.810] My romance doesn't need a blue lagoon standing by
[00:28.249] No month of may, no twinkling stars
[00:35.512] No hide away, no soft guitars
[00:44.545] My romance doesn't need a castle rising in Spain
[00:51.280] Nor a dance to a constantly surprising refrain
[00:58.267] Wide awake I can make my most fantastic dreams come true
[01:05.049] My romance doesn't need a thing but you
[01:17.248] Let's fall in love
[01:19.408] Why shouldn't we fall in love?
[01:22.872] Our hearts are made of it
[01:24.592] Let's take a chance
[01:26.496] Why be afraid of it
[01:31.009] Let's close our eyes and make our own paradise
[01:36.560] Little we know of it, still we can try
[01:39.912] To make a go of it
[01:43.632] We might have been meant for each other
[01:49.609] To be or not to be
[01:53.048] Let our hearts discover
[01:57.552] Let's fall in love
[01:59.639] Why shouldn't we fall in love
[02:02.928] Now is the time for it, now is the time for it
[02:13.384] Let's fall in love
[02:16.761] To be or not to be
[02:20.416] Let our hearts discover
[02:24.734] Romance
[02:26.823] Why shouldn't we romance?
[02:38.693] Romance
[02:40.565] Let's make our own romance
[02:43.813] Little we know of it, still we can try
[02:47.260] To make a go of it
[02:55.645] We might have been meant for each other
[03:00.245] Let our hearts discover
[03:03.449] Let's fall in love
[03:05.848] Why shouldn't we fall in love
[03:09.252] Now is the time, while we are young
[03:12.677] We can make our dreams come true
[03:16.829] My romance
[03:20.132] My romance
[03:23.502] My romance
[03:27.996] Doesn't need a thing but you
[03:39.829] Just you
[03:58.829] I am from the Philippines
[04:00.430] That is where I was born and raised
[04:02.438] And that is where I now live with my own family
[04:05.750] And that first song, Salamat Salamat Musika, is actually a thank you
[04:10.861] To the music
[04:12.773] And it's not just that I'm being polite, but
[04:15.807] In my home country, music is an essential part of our daily lives
[04:22.533] I've been singing for as long as I can remember
[04:25.489] And if anybody was to ask me when exactly I started singing
[04:29.969] I don't think I could pinpoint an exact time or place or event
[04:36.702] I do come from an artistic family
[04:38.918] Sculptors, actors, even prima ballerinas
[04:44.079] And my mother encouraged my brother and me to continue in the tradition
[04:50.982] I think I was about nine years old when my mom had the bright idea
[04:55.111] That I should record an album
[04:58.372] But the question is, what songs?
[05:03.014] Usually in the Philippines you'll see these
[05:05.762] Pretty little girls in their pretty little dresses
[05:09.062] Singing "The minute you walked in the joint"
[05:14.290] Or they would be singing love songs
[05:17.794] And my mom would say
[05:19.610] "She has no right to sing love songs"
[05:23.377] "She's only nine, what does she know"
[05:26.282] So we went with this
