My Pearl of Palawan (Aking Perlas ng Palawan)

Bakersfield Country, Kundiman, Christmas music

We danced 'neath the palm trees all strung up with lights
Sa ilalim ng mga bituin

My Pearl of Palawan, you're the gift I can't keep
Mahal kita, darling, but I'm in too deep
This Christmas we're sharing won't last till the spring
But I'll carry your love in everything
My Pearl of Palawan, you're my sweetest goodbye
Paalam, my angel, with tears in my eyes

We ate lechon with your family, they pulled up a chair
Simbang Gabi at midnight, your hand in my hair
But my ticket's still dated, folded there in my coat
Hawak mo ang kamay ko tighter with each passing boat
Sabi mo, "Stay a little longer, huwag kang umalis"
But January's calling me back where the cold never miss
I memorized the way na sinasabi mo 'yung name ko
'Cause nothing back in Tennessee will ever sound the same, no

Watched the sunrise break over Honda Bay's tide
Alam natin pareho, I can't stay by your side

Three years gone, naririnig ko pa rin 'yung voice mo
Sa hanging dumadaan through the choices I know
Iniwan ko 'yung jacket, binigay mo sa'kin 'yung scarf
We promised forever pero alam natin the truth from the start
"Ang pag-ibig, isang panahon lang…"

December winds brought me down to your shore Sa dalampasigan, hindi ko inasahan ang more Parols were glowing in every window I'd pass You smiled at me standing there, ginto sa brown eyes like glass Ang ganda mo, parang dagat when the dawn breaks clean I didn't speak your words but you knew what I mean Your laughter rang out like those simbahan bells at mass I knew right then this Christmas would slip through my hands too fast We danced 'neath the palm trees all strung up with lights Sa ilalim ng mga bituin My Pearl of Palawan, you're the gift I can't keep Mahal kita, darling, but I'm in too deep This Christmas we're sharing won't last till the spring But I'll carry your love in everything My Pearl of Palawan, you're my sweetest goodbye Paalam, my angel, with tears in my eyes We ate lechon with your family, they pulled up a chair Simbang Gabi at midnight, your hand in my hair But my ticket's still dated, folded there in my coat Hawak mo ang kamay ko tighter with each passing boat Sabi mo, "Stay a little longer, huwag kang umalis" But January's calling me back where the cold never miss I memorized the way na sinasabi mo 'yung name ko 'Cause nothing back in Tennessee will ever sound the same, no Watched the sunrise break over Honda Bay's tide Alam natin pareho, I can't stay by your side My Pearl of Palawan, you're the gift I can't keep Mahal kita, darling, but I'm in too deep This Christmas we're sharing won't last till the spring But I'll carry your love in everything My Pearl of Palawan, you're my sweetest goodbye Paalam, my angel, with tears in my eyes Three years gone, naririnig ko pa rin 'yung voice mo Sa hanging dumadaan through the choices I know Iniwan ko 'yung jacket, binigay mo sa'kin 'yung scarf We promised forever pero alam natin the truth from the start "Ang pag-ibig, isang panahon lang…" My Pearl of Palawan, you're the gift I can't keep Mahal kita, darling, but I'm in too deep This Christmas we're sharing won't last till the spring But I'll carry your love in everything My Pearl of Palawan, you're my sweetest goodbye Paalam, my angel, with tears in my eyes
