"In Love Ako Sa Yo"
by: Darren Espanto
Mula nung makilala ka
Lagi na lamang naiisip ka
Ang yung ganda'y naiiba
Hangad kung lagi ay makita ka
Sana'y hindi panaginip
O di kaya'y kathang isip
Naakit mo ang puso ko
Ngayon ay umiibig sa iyo
In love na ako
In love na sa iyo
Sana'y malaman mo
Ang damdamin ko
Tinamaan ako
Tinamaan sa iyo
Sana'y sabihin mo
Sayo ay may pag-asa ako
oh woh oh woooh ooh oh ooh
At kahit sa pagtulog ko
Ika'y narun pa rin sa isip ko
Hinahagkan-hagkan kita
At sana ang lahat ay tunay na
Sana'y hindi panaginip
O di kaya'y kathang - isip
Naakit mo ang puso ko
Ngayon ay umiibig sa iyo
(woh oh oh ooh)
In love na ako
In love na sa iyo
Sana'y malaman mo
Ang damdamin ko
Tinamaan ako
Tinamaan sa iyo
Sana'y sabihin mo
Sayo ay may pag-asa ako
Sabihin mo ang gagawin
Ito'y patutunayan sa iyo
Mahal kita walang iba
Na iibigin ng puso ko
In love na ako
In love na sa iyo
Sana'y malaman mo
Ang damdamin ko
Tinamaan ako
Tinamaan sa iyo
Sana'y sabihin mo
Sayo ay may pag-asa ako
oh oh
In love na ako
In love na sa iyo
Sana'y malaman mo
Ang damdamin ko
Tinamaan ako
Tinamaan sa iyo
Sana'y sabihin mo
Sayo ay may pag-asa ako
oh woh oh woooh ooh oh
