I've Finally Found Someone - Brian Adams & Barbara Streisand

Bryan:
I finally found someone, that knocks me off my feet
I finally found the one, that makes me feel complete

Barbra:
We started over coffee, we started out as friends
It's funny how from simple things, the best things begin

Bryan:
This time it's different,

Barbra:
Dah dah dah dah

Bryan:
It's all because of you,

Barbra:
Dah dah dah dah

Bryan:
It's better than it's ever been

Both:
'Cause we can talk it through

Barbra:
Oohh, my favorite line was "Can I call you sometime?"
It's all you had to say

Both:
To take my breath away
This is it, oh, I finally found someone
Someone to share my life
I finally found the one, to be with every night

Barbra:
'Cause whatever I do,

Bryan:
It's just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found someone,
Barbra:
Ooh, someone

Bryan:
I finally found someone,

Barbra:
Oooh . . .

Bryan:
Did I keep you waiting,

Barbra:
I didn't mind

Bryan:
I apologize,

Barbra:
Baby, that's fine

Bryan:
I would wait forever

Both:
Just to know you were mine
Bryan:
You know I love your hair,

Barbra:
Are you sure it looks right?

Bryan:
I love what you wear,

Barbra:
Isn't it the time?

Bryan:
You're exceptional,
Both:
I can't wait for the rest of my life . . .
This is it, oh, I finally found someone
Someone to share my life
I finally found the one, to be with every night

Barbra:
'Cause whatever I do,

Bryan:
It's just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found someone,
Barbra:
Whatever I do,

Bryan:
It's just got to be you

Both:
My life has just begun
I finally found someone

Finally Found Someone.mp3 -

Love Story - Taylor Swift

We were both young when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts:
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air.

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.
See you make your way through the crowdand say hello;
Little did I know
That you were Romeo;
you were throwing pebbles,
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet."
And I was crying on the staircase,begging you,
'Please, don't go.'"

And I said,"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'

"So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew.
So close your eyes; escape this town for a little while.'

Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter,
And my daddy said "Stay away from Juliet,"
But you were everything to me;
I was begging you, 'Please, don't go,'"

And I said,"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'

Romeo save me - they're tryin' to tell me how to feel;
This love is difficult, but it's real.
Don't be afraid; we'll make it out of this mess.
It's a love story - baby just say "Yes.'"

Oh, oh.
I got tired of waiting,
Wondering if you were ever comin' around.
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town,

And I said,"Romeo save me - I've been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting for you but you never come.
Is this in thy head? I don't know what to think-

"He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said,
"Marry me, Juliet - you'll never have to be alone.
I love you and that's all I really know.
I talked to your dad - go pick out a white dress;
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'"

Oh, oh. Oh, oh.

'Cause we were both young when I first saw you...

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon-dustIn your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all aroundJust like me, they long to be
Close to you

[break]
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon-dust
In your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all aroundJust like me, they long to be
Close to you

Just like me, they long to be
Close to you(Ah, aahh, aahh)
Close to you(Ah, aahh, aahh)
Close to you(Ah, aahh, aahh)Close to you(Ah, aahh, aahh)
Close to you

Happy Birthday to me #2 ~ Singapore

There's nothing like meeting up with old friends... reunion with schoolmates, just like old times...
So, i managed to meet up with those working in Singapore... had a sleepover at Im Sing's place... the time was too short, though... i wished we weren't too busy working and had such a tight schedule... Where were the times we could lepak for hours??? missed them! not to forget those sweet memories we shared... at the hostel, at AMSA, AMSC, and of course those days where we sneak to other ppl's room and dr**k... imagine what would happened if we ever, EVER get caught... haha! *oophs*
