I know he���s there waiting for me

-La Diva

How can this be
You can���t wait for me
We hoped for the best when we parted

I see you now
Loving someone else
Is she better than me

Take this pain
Off my chest
Thought of love will last

I���m hoping to find another
Someone better
Who���ll treat me like a queen

Someone who listens
Someone who cares
And takes me just as I am

I know he���s there watching over me
(I know he���s here)
He is so ready to believe in me (believe in me)
I know he���s there waiting for me (waiting for me)

I���m hoping to find another
Someone better
Who���ll treat me like a queen

Someone who listens
Someone who cares
And takes me just as I am

I know he���s there watching over me
(I know he���s here)
He is so ready to believe in me (believe in me)
I know he���s there waiting for me
(He���s waiting for me)

I���m hoping to find another
(I���m hoping to find someone)
Someone better
Who treats me like a queen

Someone who listens, someone who cares
(Someone who listens and someone who cares)
And takes me just as I am

I know he���s there (I know he���s here)
watching over me (watching over me)
He is so ready to believe in me
(He is so ready)
I know he���s there waiting for me

He���s waiting��� He���s waiting���
I know he���s waiting��� for me���
He is waiting for me���
For me

 

 

 

La Diva is a Filipinopopgirl group, first established for the show SOP. The group is composed of

two winners and a runner-up of Pinoy Pop Superstar, namely Jonalyn Viray, Aicelle Santos, and

Maricris Garcia. La Diva has sold more than 10,000 albums in the Philippines which has earned them several achievements, including an Awit Award, two PMPC Star Awards for Music and an Aliw

Award, becoming the fourth best-selling female group in the Philippines behind the Sexbomb Girls,

Aegis and Mocha Girls.

History

In May 2008, it was confirmed that the GMA Artist Center would be forming a female music trio

called La Diva. With its "Three of a Kind" segment, the musical variety show was ready to introduce a new generation of "divas".

Member Jonalyn Viray noted that a meeting for the creation of La Diva was held in January 2008, with the stipulation that each member of the group would still keep their own identity, for their solo careers. While the three ladies of La Diva are uncertain of how the group was formed, the combining factor

is that each of them came from the singing competition, Pinoy Pop Superstar. Viray and Maricris

Garcia were the Grand Champions of the first and third seasons respectively, and Aicelle Santos was the runner-up of the second season.

During October 24–28, 2011, La Diva was invited to guest on three shows in Indonesia. They performed hits such as "I'm Yours" and "Empire State of Mind". On the show Showbiz Central, it was

reported and confirmed that La Diva were to begin an work on a international album.

Philippines in November 2009. The album contains 10 tracks including their own versions of

the songs "Apologize", "Angels Brought Me Here", "I'm Yours", "Best Of My Love", "Stand Up For Love", "Gaano Kadalas Ang Minsan" and their original songs, "Kasiping Ka" as their carrier

single, "One Last Goodbye", and "Rosalinda".
