Mama & Papa

This is the top song at the moment for me...I usually don't like his songs or rather Boyzone's cuz they are too mushy and sound all the same...but I really love this song...it's just so sad...I know Sha likes this too...but oh well...

I would like to change the lyrics a bit...this is dedicated to my mother and father, the 2 most important people in my life, whom without them I wouldn't be here...

-----Ronan Keating---------

----------If Tomorrow never comes----------

Sometimes late at night

I lie awake and watch THEM sleeping

THEY're lost in peaceful dreams so I turn out the light

And lay there in the dark

And the thought crosses my mind

If I never wake up in the morning

Would THEY ever doubt

The way I feel about THEM in my heart

------------------------------------------------------

If tomorrow never comes

Will THEY know how much I love THEM

Did I try in every way to show THEM every day

THEY're my only one

And if my time on earth were through

THEY must face the world without me

Is the love I gave THEM in the past

Gonna be enough to last

If tomorrow never comes

----------------------------------------------------

'Cause I've lost loved ones in my life

Who never knew how much I loved them

Now I live with the regret

That my true feelings for them, never were revealed

So I made a promise to myself

To say each day how much THEY mean to me

And avoid that circumstance

Where there's no second chance

To tell THEM how I feel

--------------------------------------------------

If tomorrow never comes

Will THEY know how much I love THEM

Did I try in every way to show THEM every day

THEY're my only one

And if my time on earth were through

And THEY must face the world without me

Is the love I gave her in the past

Gonna be enough to last

If tomorrow never comes

------------------------------------------------

So tell that someone that you love

Just what you're thinking of

If tomorrow never comes

-----------------------------------------

This song is just so meaningful and sad...

Actually I have been thinking a lot lately about my life...and I have come to one conclusion, my parents. They are the ones who brought me into this world...but like the super pampered brat that I am...I always neglect and act a bit ungratefully towards them...

We do have our differences and age gaps but I can never forget that they are always there for me, and willing to sacrifice everything for me...my Mom is 58 this year and my Dad is 67.

And I'm turning 22. Though still young, I'm sure it's still not too early or too late to show them my appreciation...damn I hate NS, it's weighing me down man!

That's why though I can't show my love for them in other ways...every morning before I leave for camp or anywhere else...I make sure I shake and kiss their hands. And my Mom, I make sure I kiss one of her cheeks before I go off to tell her I love her. Cuz I really do...they're the most beautiful people in the world and I'm grateful for them I'm here...

It's not Mother's Day or Father's Day but well, what the heck...

Mak, Pak I love you!
