Here Lies Love

When I was a young girl in Leyte My dresses were all hand-me downs and scraps I’d see the people smile When I would sing for them How happy they all seemed when I would dance We lived a stone’s throw from the palace A simple country girl who had a dream The ladies passing by, a better class than I How much it meant to me to be like these Is it a sin to love too much? Is it a sin to care? I do it all for you How can it be unfair? I know that when my number’s up When I am called by God above Don’t have my name inscribed into the stone Just say: Here lies love, here lies love Here lies love just say: Here lies love, here lies love Here lies love The most important things are love and beauty It doesn’t matter if you’re rich or poor To prosper and to fly, a basic human right The feeling in your heart that you’re secure Is it a sin to love too much? Is it a sin to care? I do it all for you How can it be unfair? I know that when my number’s up When I am called by God above Don’t have my name inscribed into the stone Just say: Here lies love, here lies love Here lies love just say: Here lies love, here lies love Here lies love I know that when my number’s up When I am called by God above Don’t have my name inscribed into the stone Just say: Here lies love, here lies love Here lies love just say: Here lies love, here lies love Here lies love
