I recall when you said that you would never Maybe I'll just dream of you tonight
leave me And if into my dream you'll come and touch
You told me more, so much more like when me once again
the time you whispered in my ear I'll just keep on dreaming till my heartaches
There was heaven in my heart end
I remember when you said that you'd be here
forever And then you left without even saying that
you're leaving
Then you left without even saying that you're I was hurt and it really won't be easy to forget
leaving yesterday
I was hurt and it really won't be easy to forget And I pray that you would stay
yesterday But then you're gone and, oh, so far away
And I pray that you would stay
But then you're gone and, oh, so far away Keep on dreaming till my heartaches end

Walang tigil ang gulo sa aking pag-iisip Walang tigil ang ulan
Mula nang tayo'y nagpasyang maghiwalay At nasaan ka, araw
Nagpaalam pagkat hindi tayo bagay Napano na'ng pag-ibig sa isa't isa
Nakapagtataka Wala na bang nananatiling pag-asa
Nakapagtataka, saan ka napunta?
Kung bakit ganito ang aking kapalaran
Di ba't ilang ulit ka nang nagpaalam
At bawat paalam ay puno ng iyakan Napahid na ang mga luha,
Nakapagtataka Damdamin at puso'y tigang
Nakapagtataka Wala nang maibubuga,
Wala na 'kong maramdaman.
Hindi ka ba napapagod
O di kaya'y nagsasawa Kung tunay tayong nagmamahalan
Sa ating mga tampuhang Ba't di tayo magkasunduan
Walang hanggang katapusan Oh, oh.
Napahid na ang mga luha
Damdamin at puso'y tigang
Wala nang maibubuga,
Wala na 'kong maramdaman.
