I heard that you were getting married
I always knew that youâd do well
Youâre a legendary beauty
From our small provincial town
Ilocos joined to Leyte
Two important families
A glorious occasion
A foretold destiny
I followed in the morning papers
How exciting it has been
The courtship and the whirlwind romance
For the sweetest of beauty queens
Heâs crazy for you
Who wouldnât be, Iâm sure
And nothing matters more than that
And youâll never be poor no moreâ
How she looked when she passed by
How she looked when she passed by
I feel like Iâm watching history
Living before my eyes
Many years from now
Weâll recall just how
How she looked when she passed by
I know that you are in there somewhere
Letters get misplaced in the mail
Guess that there was some confusion
Amidst those throngs and swells
Did you see me outside?
Did you see me wave?
When you passed in your car
Ah well, thatâs okayâ
How she looked when she passed by
How she looked when she passed by
Feel like Iâm watching history
Living before my eyes
Many years from now
Weâll recall just how
How she looked when she passed by
