you'd think that after 13 yrs of marriage somehow you'd be beyond this stage when you'd dedicate songs to each other...or talk abt sweet nothings...well, i guess after being away from each other you'd both realize the importance of being together. distance does make the heart grow fonder.

after a long while, my husband dedicated a song for me. its an old song but the meaning goes beyond words. it just meant so much to both of us. it was like the song was really made for us. cried when i read the lyrics.

i'm such a sucker for romance.

How I Love You
by Engelbert Humperdinck

You hold me in your eyes
In your own special way
I wonder how you know
The things I never say

I can't imagine life
Without you by my side
The power of your love
Is all I need tonight

I know there have been times
That I have caused you pain
I'd turn them all around
If I could start again

There's something I must say
I know it's overdue
The sweetest thing I've known
Forever called my own
Begins and ends with you

How I love you
How I love you

The softness of your lips
The colour of your hair
The memory of your touch
Remains when you're not there

The echoes of your laughter
When I'm feeling blue
The meaning of my life
It all begins with you

So come into my arms
Lay down by my side
The moon is always there
To keep our love alight

I've reached so very high
For everything that's mine
And at the top is you
I want you for all time
A dream forever new

How I love you
How I love you

The softness of your lips
The colour of your hair
The memory of your touch
Remains when you're not there

The echoes of your laughter
When I'm feeling blue
The meaning of my life
It all begins with you

So come into my arms
Lay down by my side
The moon is always there
To keep our love alight

You know me like a book
You've read a thousand times
We know each other's hearts
We read each other's mind
This feeling's always new

How I love you
How I love you

The softness of your lips
The colour of your hair
The memory of your touch
Remains when you're not there

The echoes of your laughter
When I'm feeling blue
The meaning of my life
It all begins with you

sis!!! so sweet!!! and the lyrics ang ganda talaga :)

nakaka-melt talaga ng heart noh whenever the hubby does something so sweet out of the blue.

konting tiis na lang sis, mapapansin mo soon you'll be in each others arms na ulit.

sa ngayon, i-enjoy muna ang pagiging cyberlovers.

well, he was my bf since i was 15. so...i guess at your age you somehow get to understand the meaning. ;-)

i think it took a lot of effort from both sides to make a marriage really work. its not an overnight thing sweetie...its a work in process.

so if ever you get to that point someday just remember that in any relationship its important to understand that compromise and communication is very important. don't forget that okey. ;-)

thanks for dropping by sweetie.

hahaha...ang haba ng hair ko noh?

well definitely its not going to be a bed of roses...but if you are with "the One" for you then i guess the thorns will going to be worth it.
