[Intro] (Tropical percussion and rhythmic hand drums) “Yeah… yeah…” (Boom… clap… boom-boom clap…) (Smooth acoustic guitar riff) “Take me where the summer never ends…” Oh-oh-oh… Hands up high by the shoreline breeze Feel the rhythm moving through the trees Tonight we lose track of time Paradise pulling me in tonight (Beat drops with energetic tropical drums and melodic synth rhythm) “Philippines… you got my heart…” [Verse 1] Touched down where the warm winds blow Blue water dancing soft and slow City streets full of life and sound Smiles and music all around Jeepneys rolling through the rain Laughter washing away my pain Then I saw her by the sea And she smiled right back at me Long dark hair in the midnight air Summer magic everywhere Barefoot walking through the sand She reached over, grabbed my hand [Pre-Chorus] She said, “Stay with me tonight” Underneath the stars so bright [Chorus] Oh Philippines, you stole my soul From the island skies to the oceans below Falling in love where the warm winds blow With a beautiful girl I’ll never let go Under the moon by the rolling tide Every heartbeat feels alive Tropical nights and endless views I found forever when I found you [Post-Chorus Drop] Oh-oh-oh… paradise calling Oh-oh-oh… hear the waves falling Hands up high underneath the sky Tonight we’re living wild and free (Percussion-heavy tropical drop with whistles and rhythmic synth melody) Verse 2] Island hopping crystal seas Palm trees swaying in the breeze Boracay nights with firelight skies I got lost inside her eyes Motorbikes and pouring rain Dancing while we missed the train Every moment felt so real Like a dream I could finally feel Morning coffee by the bay Watching fishing boats drift away She leaned close and softly said “Don’t forget these nights we had” [Pre-Chorus] Her eyes shine brighter than the moonlit sky And I never wanna say goodbye [Chorus] Oh Philippines, you stole my soul From the island skies to the oceans below Falling in love where the warm winds blow With a beautiful girl I’ll never let go Under the moon by the rolling tide Every heartbeat feels alive Tropical nights and endless views I found forever when I found you [Bridge] Even when the airplanes fly away Part of me will always stay Every song and every wave Leads me back to the love we made From Cebu sunsets to Manila rain I would cross the world again One kiss underneath the stars above Turned a traveler into love [Final Chorus] Oh Philippines, you changed my life Turned lonely roads into paradise Every heartbeat feels brand new Whenever I’m standing next to you Under the stars where the palm trees sway I never wanna leave this place Tropical dreams finally came true I found forever when I found you [Outro] (Soft acoustic guitar with ocean waves fading out) Oh-oh-oh… Paradise calling my name… “Philippines… I’ll always come back to you…”
