I Will Never Leave You lyrics

by: Erik Santos

You are safe here in my arms
Never fear i'll be beside you
Feel my love, touching your soul
Holding you close as i whisper to you

I will never leave you hold on tight
Promise to stay forever by your side
I will never leave you promise I'll
Stay forever I will never leave you behind

Stay with me and you will see
I will be the one you've been dreamin
I won't hurt the heart that you've given me
You'll never be wounded in my arms i promise

I will never leave you hold on tight
Promise to stay forever by your side
And I will always love you promise I'll
Stay forever I will never leave you behind

And every moment, every minute, every hour of my life
I intend to live my whole life with you
I will be your home and you'll be safe forever in my arms
And we'll make it through

I will never leave you hold on tight
Promise to stay forever by your side
I will never leave you promise I'll
Stay forever I will never leave you behind......

( hold on tight promise to stay forever by your side )
I'll be with you... whenever, wherever, whenever..
( and i will never leave you promise i )
Promise I'll stay forever
I will never leave you behind....

You are safe here in my arms
'coz I will never leave you
Leave you behind.....

His Platinum debut album and succeeding albums,

sold-out concerts and a demand for corporate

shows, accolades from Awit Awards, Star Awards

and Aliw Awards, endorsements for a bank

 theme songs for radio stations, and even

movies earned him an unusual popularity. His first single,

Pagbigyang Muli, remained number one of WRR���s hit chart for

more than 20 weekstogether with his other songs

 filling up the chart simultaneously. Amidst all these, Erik still

 remains charming and this "realness" becomes one of

the biggest factors why Erik has won audiences nationwide.

 Metro Manila, Philippines. When he was four, his passion

 for singing started. He participated in numerous

small-town singing competitions. He graduated

 of R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly", won him the tenth and final

 slot for the semi-finals round. Eventually he became one of the

three grand finalists along with Sheryn Regis (first runner up)

 and Marinel Santos (2nd runner up)
