When I was a young girl in Leyte
My dresses were all hand-me-downs and scraps
Iâd see the people smile, when I would sing for them
How happy they all seemedâwhen I would dance
We lived a stoneâs 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 numberâs up
When I am called by God above
Donât have my name inscribed into the stone
Just say:
Here lies loveâ¦here lies loveâ¦here lies loveâ
Just say:
Here lies loveâ¦here lies loveâ¦here lies loveâ
The most important things are love and beauty
It doesnât matter if youâre rich or poor
To prosper and to fly, a basic human right
The feeling in your heart that youâre 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 numberâs up
When I am called by God above
Donât have my name inscribed into the stone
Just say:
Here lies loveâ¦here lies loveâ¦here lies loveâ
Just say:
Here lies loveâ¦here lies loveâ¦here lies loveâ
