Constant Change
Jose Mari Chan

We’re on the road
We move from place to place
And oftentimes when I’m about to call it home
We’d have to move along
Life is a constant change

The friends we know we meet along the way
Too soon the times we share form part of yesterday
‘Cause life’s a constant change
And nothing stays the same, oh no

Clouds that move across the skies
Are changing form before our very eyes

Why couldn’t we keep time from movin’ on?
Hold on to all the years before this moment’s gone?
Why must we live the days at such a frightening pace?

We’re all like clouds that move across the skies
And changing form before our very eyes

Have we outgrown our Peter Pans and wings?
We’ve simply grown too old for tales of knights and kings
‘Cause life’s a constant change
And nothing stays the same, oh no

Christmas in our Hearts
Jose Mari Chan

Whenever I see girls and boys
selling lanterns on the streets
i remember the Child
in the manger as He sleeps
wherever there are people
giving gifts, exchanging cards
i believe that Christmas
is truly in their hearts

[refrain]
Let’s light our Christmas trees
for a bright tomorrow
where nations are at peace
and all are one in God

[chorus]
Let’s sing Merry Christmas
and a happy holiday
this season, may we never forget
the love we have for Jesus
let Him be the One to guide us
as another new year starts
and may the spirit of Christmas
be always in our hearts

In every prayer and every song
the community unites
celebrating the birth
of our Savior, Jesus Christ

let love, like that starlight
on that first Christmas morn
lead us back to the manger
where Christ the Child was born

So, come let us rejoice
come and sing a Christmas carol
with one big joyful voice
proclaim the name of the Lord!

[repeat chorus 2x]

Be always in our hearts

A Perfect Christmas
Jose Mari Chan

[verse 1]
My idea of a perfect Christmas
Is to spend it with you
In a party
Or dinner for two
Anywhere would do
Celebrating the yuletide season
Always lights up our lives
Simple pleasures are made special too
When their shared with you

[verse 2]
Looking through some old photographs
Faces of friends we’ll always remember
Watching busy shoppers rushing about
In the cool breeze of December
Sparkling lights, all over town
Children’s carols in the air
By the Christmas tree
A shower of stardust on your hair

[chorus]
I cant think of a better Christmas
Than my wish coming true
And my wish is you’d let me spend my whole life with you

[repeat verse 2]

[repeat chorus]

My idea of a perfect Christmas is to spend it with you

Beautiful Girl
Jose Mari Chan

Beautiful girl, wherever you are
I knew when I saw you, you had opened the door
I knew that I’d love again after a long, long while
I’d love again
You said “hello” and I turned to go
But something in your eyes left my heart beating so
I just knew that I’d love again after a long, long while
I’d love again

[chorus]
It was destiny’s game
For when love finally came on
I rushed in line only to find
That you were gone

Whenever you are, I fear that I might
Have lost you forever like a song in the night
Now that I’ve loved again after a long, long while
I’ve loved again

[repeat chorus]

Beautiful girl, I’ll search on for you
‘Til all of your loveliness in my arms come true
You’ve made me love again after a long, long while
In love again
And I’m glad that it’s you
Hmm, beautiful girl

Can’t We Start Over Again
Jose Mari Chan

It’s been a long long while
I know I’ve caused you pain
Living without you it’s not quite the same
Can we start over again

I played around to long
Running from end to end
Took you for granted
I’ve been such a fool
Can’t we start over again

All through my life for season
No matter how far I long
Always theres something
Missing inside yearning to come back home

You are the one I can turn
To love only lights leads the way
Give us this chance start over again
Darling I’m coming home to stay

Please Be Careful With My Heart
Jose Mari Chan & Regine Velasquez

If you love me like you tell me please be careful with my heart

From the very start please be careful with my heart

I love you and you know I do there’ll be no one else for me

And I have had my heart badly broken
I’ve been burned and I’ve been hurt before

So I know just how you feel trust my love is real for you

The Sound of Life
Jose Mari Chan

Can you hear the sound of life heard in the laughter of children at play
Can you hear the sound of voices sing feel the magic and joy they bring

[chorus]
Can you hear the laughter, can you hear the music
Sing with your heart, it’s the song of life
Can you hear it, can you feel it
It’s the magic in your heart, it’s the music the sound of life

Can you hear the christmas bells ring and the sound of the caroler’s tune
Can you hear the message far and near merry christmas the Lord is here

Can you hear the laughter, can you hear the music
Sing with your heart, it’s the sound of life

Can you hear it, can you feel it
Send the message loud and clear
Merry Christmas the Lord is here

Lalalalala…

[repeat chorus]

Can you hear the laughter, Can you hear the music
sing with your heart, it’s the song of life
can you hear it, can you feel it
it’s the magic in your heart, it’s the music the sound of life

Can you hear the message far and near
Merry Christmas the Lord is here
Can you hear the laughter, Can you hear the music
Sing with your heart, it’s the sound of life

Can you hear it, can you feel it
Send the message loud and clear
Merry Christmas the Lord is here

Can We Just Stop & Talk A While by
Jose Marie Chan

Fancy meeting you alone in the crowd
couldn’t help but notice your smile
while everybody else around us is going about
can we just stop and talk awhile?

I’ve been often told our world’s growing old
and that friends are harder to find
do tell me more about yourself
we could share a thought or two
now who would mind?

Maybe then we could go for a ride
drive down to the countryside
get away from the gray
and frenzied hurly-burly of the city life

Early yet to say what lies ahead
it’s the first day of the rest of our lives
can we just stop and talk awhile
get to know each other
who are we to know?
love could be waiting at the end
’round that bend and so
let’s stop and talk awhile

maybe then we could go for a ride
drive down to the countryside
get away from the gray
and frenzied hurly-burly of the city life

Early yet to say what lies ahead
it’s the first day of the rest of our lives
can we just stop and talk awhile
get to know each other
who are we to know?
love could be waiting at the end
’round that bend and so
let’s stop and talk awhile
let’s stop and talk awhile
let’s stop and talk awhile
let’s stop and talk awhile

Afraid For Love to Fade by
Jose Marie Chan

My head’s in a jam
Cant take you off my mind
From the time we met
Ive been beset by thougt of u
And the more
That i ignore this feeling
The more i find my self believing
That i just have to see you again……

(chorus)

I cant let pass me by
I just cant let you go..
But i know that i much too shy
To let you know
Afraid that i might say the wrong word’s
And displease you

Afraid for love to fade before it can come true…………..

Like a child again
Im at a lose for words
How does one define
A crush combine
W/ longing
Longing to possess you oh! so dearly
Im obsess by you completely

Ill go mad if i cant have you……..

Repeat chorus……

Is She Thinking About Me by
Jose Mari Chan feat. Christine Bersola

Is she thinking about me
Does she remember my name
Is she hoping I’d call
Do I matter at all
Or her feelings the same

Is he thinking about me
Does he remember my name
How I wish he would call
Do I matter at all
And will I ever be the same

CHORUS
Yet I know what she’s feeling
I can still feel the touch of her hand
I could swear this is just the beginning
Please let her be thinking of me

I’m the one of the many
How could I be the girl of his dreams
Was I caught by surprise
When I looked in his eyes, I saw me

Is this love that I’m feelin’ (is this love)
I can never let go
There’s no way I can hide
All I’m feeling inside
Let it show

CHORUS
Yet I know what she’s feeling (I know what she’s feeling)
I can still feel the touch of her hand
(And I could) I could swear this is just the beginning
Please let her be thinking of me

I’m the one of the many (right or wrong of her dreams)
How could I be the girl of his dreams
Was I caught by surprise
When I looked in his eyes, I saw me

Is this love that I’m feelin’
Or I just want her to know
There’s no way I can hide
All I’m feeling inside (there’s no way I can hide)
Let it show

Christmas Past by
Jose Marie Chan

The sound of bells at early dawn
Like music from afar
Soft gentle breeze, the world at peace
A solitary star

Those joyful hymns and warm hellos
The candycanes and colored bows
All these and love are memories of
My Christmas past

Those wondrous toys of girls and boys
The cheer that Santa brings
That glorious tale of sheperd boys
Of angels and of kings

A christmas tree with lights aglow
Some cotton snow and mistletoe
All these and love are memories of
My Christmas past

Silver and gold, red and green
Colors of a wonderful scene
Memories they keep returning
And I’m like a child again

If there’s a place in time and space
Where christmas past has gone
I’ll surely try if I could fly
To see that early dawn

And share again that Christmas past
With all those who have gone
But those memories will forever live
within my heart

Is She Thinking About Me
Jose Mari Chan feat. Christine Bersola

Is she thinking about me
Does she remember my name
Is she hoping I’d call
Do I matter at all
Or her feelings the same

Is he thinking about me
Does he remember my name
How I wish he would call
Do I matter at all
And will I ever be the same

CHORUS
Yet I know what she’s feeling
I can still feel the touch of her hand
I could swear this is just the beginning
Please let her be thinking of me

I’m the one of the many
How could I be the girl of his dreams
Was I caught by surprise
When I looked in his eyes, I saw me

Is this love that I’m feelin’ (is this love)
I can never let go
There’s no way I can hide
All I’m feeling inside
Let it show

CHORUS
Yet I know what she’s feeling (I know what she’s feeling)
I can still feel the touch of her hand
(And I could) I could swear this is just the beginning
Please let her be thinking of me

I’m the one of the many (right or wrong of her dreams)
How could I be the girl of his dreams
Was I caught by surprise
When I looked in his eyes, I saw me

Is this love that I’m feelin’
Or I just want her to know
There’s no way I can hide
All I’m feeling inside (there’s no way I can hide)

Sing Me Your Song Again, Daddy
Jose Mari Chan feat. Cherie Gil

Sing me a song again, Daddy
Sing me a happy verse
Teach me those clever rhymes you sang
As you carried me on your shoulders

Sing me that hymn that you so loudly
Sang in church with Mom
Sing it again to me and fill me
With all your words of wisdom

Comforting words I’ve loved when I
Would get home from school in tears
Somehow your songs have stayed within me
Down through all the years

Once when my younger heart was broken
Your shoulder was there to cry on
Sing me those songs I know will linger
Long after you have gone

I am standing at the threshold
Of the chapter in my life
I am asking for your blessing
As I’m about to be the wife

Of a man I know who loves me
And I’m proud to be his bride
Dad, the time has come for me
To leave your side

So, sing me a song again, Daddy
Sing me a lullaby
Wrap me inside your arms, Daddy
Though this is not goodbye

Your songs will live forever
In my heart when times get rough
The ones I’ll most remember
Are your songs of love

(Your songs will live forever
In my heart when times get rough)
The ones I’ll most remember
Are your songs of love

Please Be Careful With My Heart

I’ll still be loving you

I will be true to you
Just a promise from you will do
From the very start

Promise I’ll be always true
For the world and ours to see

And I’ve been hurt before

So I know just how you feel
Trust my love it’s real for you

I’ll caress it like the morning dew

My Girl, My Woman, My Friend
Jose Mari Chan feat. Janet Basco

When my work is through at the end of the day
There’s nothing else that I’d rather do
Than to be with you at the end of the day
To be right by your side makes me feel brand new

CHORUS
‘Cause you’re my girl, my woman, my friend
And that’s how it’s gonna be ’til the end
Loving you is what I live for
And I can’t ask for anything more
You’re my woman, my girl and my friend
Rolled into one

You’re my man and I’m at the prime of my life
To you I give myself, all my heart
All of what I am at the prime of my life
I’ll never let a thing come to break us apart

CHORUS
‘Cause I’m your girl, your woman, your friend
And that’s how it’s gonna be ’til the end
Loving you is what I live for
And I can’t ask for anything more
Than to be your woman, your girl and your friend

BRIDGE
Being with you, my love, just makes my day complete
Holding you close, my love, creates a wondrous treat
No need to say the words, no fancy places for me
Love is anywhere as long as you are there with me
We’ll be free, our love will make us free to be
You and me

CHORUS
I’m your girl, (your/my) woman, (your/my) friend
And that’s how it’s gonna be ’til the end
Loving you is what I live for
And I can’t ask for anything more
Than to be your woman, (your/my) girl and (your/my) friend
Rolled into one
[Repeat twice until fade]
