What can I give you?
You won't need a candy or ice cream
A cake won't be sweet enough
Why would you need a candle too
When you are the light
Can't give you a house and a sports car
Or a plane ticket to your favorite country
What will you do to a jewel or a bag of cash?
You are the richest King...You own everything
What can I give you
But a humble heart
and a loyal love
Though I am a sinner
I promise to be faithful
and not to bow down to other gods
For you are the real One
I will never be ashamed
I will stand and praise your name
I will sing praises to you
Jesus, you are my only King
Tatay,
If I see you again
I’ll not waste any minute
So many things I want to thank you for
A big part of me is you
When I was young, you gave me puzzles to solve
And Lego toys to build
I didn’t know then that you’re teaching me
How to think wisely, to be patient
And to finish what I started
To set goals and achieve them
You bought me books and
Encouraged me to read a lot
You taught me how to gain knowledge
And to always ask God for wisdom
You taught me how to be successful in life
To always put God first and trust His will
To appreciate His goodness and blessings
To read His word everyday
You taught me how to pray
To not ask but to always give thanks
You encouraged me to travel and see the world
You want me to see how beautiful our world
And how marvelous our God is
Just like you, I love to watch movies
Fiction and fantasy that teaches a lesson or two
Entertaining and inspiring
Another hobby I inherited from you
We listen to different music
And we like different songs
Yet, I still remember the time
I played the piano in front of you
You listened contentedly…
With a smile on your face
I wasn’t the greatest
Still you’re proud of me
You taught me how to be a good person
To love my parents and be a loyal friend
To love my cousins and care for them
To be sincere and humble
Humility should always be with me
Be kind and gentle to please the Lord
You taught me so many things
But there’s one thing you forgot to teach me
How to survive each day I’m missing you
When you’re gone and you didn't say goodbye
I didn’t know that was our last hug
I should have hugged you more
and stayed longer
I should have said "I'm sorry"
for all those times I didn't come
to see you
You don't know how I always long to be with you and Nanay
To spend time with you
I am always thinking... when can I see you again?
Always excited to talk to you
How happy I am when we're together
Now that you’re gone
I survive by pretending you’re still here
And just like before, I will wait again
I will work harder and make you proud
I will remember all those things you taught me
I will try to smile and be happy
But there's one thing that scares me
I hope you will not forget me
Tay, please remember my name
When I get to see you in Heaven
I will hug you and say
It’s me, Camille…your first grandchild.
I need to talk with you again,
Why did you go away?
All our time together still feels like yesterday
I never thought I'd see
A single day without you,
The things we take for granted,
We can sometimes lose
And if I promise not to feel this pain,
Will I see you again?
Will I see you again?
'Cause time will pass me by,
Maybe I'll never learn to smile,
But I know I'll make it through,
If you wait for me...
And all the tears I cry,
No matter how I try,
They'll never bring you home to me
Won't you wait for me in heaven?
Do you remember how it was?
When we never seemed to care,
The days went by so quickly,
'Cause I thought you'd always be there...
And it's hard to let you go,
Though I know that I must try,
I feel like I've been cheated,
'Cause we never said goodbye...
And if I promise not to feel this pain,
Will I see you again?
Will I see you again?
'Cause time will pass me by,
Maybe I'll never learn to smile,
But I know I'll make it through,
If you wait for me...
And all the tears I cry,
No matter how I try,
They'll never bring you home to me
Won't you wait for me in heaven?
'Cause I miss you so, and I need to know...
Will you wait for me?
'Cause time will pass me by,
Maybe I'll never learn to smile,
But I know I'll make it through,
If you wait for me...
And all the tears I cry,
No matter how I try,
They'll never bring you home to me
Won't you wait for me in heaven?
And time will pass me by,
Maybe I'll never learn to smile,
But I know I'll make it through
If you wait for me...
