Love Is In The Air

Hey Red, since you’re in looove these days, why don’t we add a couple of songs more? I know you really loved No Diggity by Blackstreet and Chumbawumba’s Tubthumping, but they’re not really love songs, eh? So how about:

[1] Remember Des’ree’s Kissing You from Baz Luhrman’s movie, William Shakespeare’s Romeo+Juliet?

Pride can stand a thousand trials
The strong will never fall
But watching stars without you my soul cried
Heaving heart is full of pain
Oh, oh, the aching
Cause, I’m kissing you oh
I’m kissing you oh

Touch me deep, pure and true gift to me forever
Cause, I’m kissing you
Oh, I’m kissing you, oh

Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Cause, I’m kissing you
I’m kissing you, oh


(Gosh, yun pala ang lyrics?! When you listen to her, she’s not singing but just eating her words “andalotofzshuzshu… mumble-mumble I’m kissing you, mumble-mumble I’m kissing you”)

[2] How about Cyndi Lauper’s Time After Time (which during your time was remade by INOJ)?

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
and think of you
caught up in circles—
confusion is nothing new.
Flashback, warm nights,
almost left behind—
suitcases of memories,
time after

sometimes you picture me,
I'm walking too far ahead.
You’re calling to me, I can’t hear
what you’ve said.
Then you say, “go slow”
I fall behind—
the second hand unwinds.

If you’re lost you can look and you will find me
time after time
if you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting
time after time

After my picture fades and darkness has
turned to gray;
watching through windows, you’re wondering
if I’m OK.
Secrets stolen from deep inside—
the drum beats out of time

If you’re lost you can look and you will find me
time after time
if you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting
time after time
time after time
time after time
time after time
