SAY MY NAME**

"SAY MY NAME"

Silence speaks louder than words.

Coz your smile it just made my heart melt.

Can't stop it from beating rhymes with yours.

Can't make any sense out of this,

but I know that I'm yours.

As high as the moon goes.

That's how high my soul soars.

When you say my name,

when you my name. 

You opened my eyes,

to see only beauty.

There's nothing I can't seem to hear now.

But only melodies.

And I don't know why.

It happened so fast.

But I am so sure that

I want this to last.

When you say my name.

Everything's right.

And I can't ask for more..

than to hear you, hear you.

SAY MY NAME.

OVERTURE**

I had this guy-- he was pretty special.
We had something special.
I loved him.
I believed he loved me back.
But we were both hostages of our pride.
We are prisoners of our own emotions.
Never wanting to be the first to break the silence.
We dreaded rejection.
We feared disappointment.
We avoided failure.
We waited for each other--
of who would raise the flag first.
But somehow, we grew tired of waiting--
until we strayed away.
And  until now--
that stench of WHAT IF is still hanging around somewhere.
WHAT IF I gave in.
WHAT IF we had something right.
WHAT IF we had a chance.
What if. What if.
I loved him-- in a very very dear way I know.
And somehow-- I just wish he knew.

MY DUTCHMAN

He is my DUTCHMAN*.
And just like the ghost ship--
he slips away when I'm close.
He disappears when I'm near.
Always pushing me back to the shore.
I always chase after him.
But he would always outwit me.
Yet, I'm always hanging on.
For he is my Dutchman.
And he will always wait for me--
hoping to be found.
