LET THE PAIN REMAIN
by Basil Valdez

Love comes, love goes,
But a sudden feeling never lets me be
Somehow I know
Quite a part of me isn't changed
Since you've been gone

Like a sturdy tree
That's seen a thousand seasons,
I've to shed my leaves in winter
To grow them back in spring
To welcome life again
To welcome you

So goes my life;
Still believe in dreams of having you around
Too bad mem'ries
Feed the mind and not the heart
Where I want you to be

So I ask myself what you have left behind for me
To go on each day to live
As if I have you once again
What else is there that's real
But all the pain that I feel

So let the pain remain forever in my heart
For ev'ry throb it brings
Is one more moment spent with you
I let the pain
Bring on the rain
If that's the only way
If there's no other way
To be with you again

Too bad mem'ries
Feed the mind and not the heart
Where I want you to be

So I ask myself what you have left behind for me
To go on each day to live
As if I have you once again
What else is there that's real
But all the pain that I feel

"Aanhon mo pa yan Gabon..kon Natunok ka na nin Hararom".

Paborito kong singer ninyon na mga panahon. Sisiram nin mga igapar kagsisng ninyan! Can one forget his haunting rendition of Gaano Kadalas ang Minsan? his Kastilyong Buhangin? However for me there are two songs he sang that no one up to now cannot surpass the artistic talent by which he sang them: Orasan ng Buhay (tama ba yon... Sabay sa ikot ng mundo...) and the Paraisong Parisukat. Paraisong Parisokat is the theme of a stage play with the same title. I believe it was made into a movie. Paraisong Parisukat is an emotion-filled song which has not been sang by any singer the way it should be sang. Basil lang talaga!
