For me, one of the sweetest thing a man can do to a woman was when he can offer a beautiful poem or song which comes from his heart. And this was what Ninoy Aquino did to the late Mrs. Cory Aquino. I really had a great admiration for those who have great talent in creating poems/songs.
When I heard this song first time when it was played in national TV on the day of our beloved Ms. Cory Aquino's burial, it really caught my attention and wanted to get its lyrics. I also found out that this song was actually arranged and sung by Jose Mari Chan and was included in his earlier albums. (Youtube videos from iadorenewscasters and romycoronado)
(Lyrics)
I have fallen in love
With the same woman three times
In a day spanning nineteen years
Of tearful joys and joyful tears.
I loved her first when she was young
Enchanting and vibrant, eternally new
She was brilliant, fragrant and cool
As the morning dew.
I fell in love with her the second time
When first she bore her child and mine
Always by my side, the source of my strength
Helping to turn the tide.
But there were candles to burn
The world was my concern
While our home was her domain
And the people were mine
While the children were hers to maintain.
So it was in those eighteen years and a day
Till I was detained
Forced in prison to stay.
Suddenly shes our sole support
Source of comfort
Our wellspring of hope
On her shoulders fell the burden of life.
I fell in love again
With the same woman the third time
Looming from the battle
Her courage will never fade.
Amidst the hardships she has remained
Undaunted and unafraid
She is calm, composed
She is Gods lovely maid.
Here's another version of this song, sung by Christian Bautista with background pictures of the couple.
I should say both of the versions were fantastic! I love this song! :)
