Here Lies Love

When I was a young girl in Leyte

My dresses were all hand-me downs and scraps

I’d see the people smile

When I would sing for them

How happy they all seemed when I would dance

We lived a stone’s throw from the palace

A simple country girl who had a dream

The ladies passing by, a better class than I

How much it meant to me to be like these

Is it a sin to love too much?

Is it a sin to care? I do it all for you

How can it be unfair?

I know that when my number’s up

When I am called by God above

Don’t have my name inscribed into the stone

Just say: Here lies love, here lies love

Here lies love just say:

Here lies love, here lies love

Here lies love

The most important things are love and beauty

It doesn’t matter if you’re rich or poor

To prosper and to fly, a basic human right

The feeling in your heart that you’re secure

Is it a sin to love too much?

Is it a sin to care? I do it all for you

How can it be unfair?

I know that when my number’s up

When I am called by God above

Don’t have my name inscribed into the stone

Just say: Here lies love, here lies love

Here lies love just say:

Here lies love, here lies love

Here lies love

I know that when my number’s up

When I am called by God above

Don’t have my name inscribed into the stone

Just say: Here lies love, here lies love

Here lies love just say:

Here lies love, here lies love

Here lies love
