AS A YOUNG BOY OF SEVEN YEARS OLD,

I BORE YOUR GOLDEN RINGS FOR YOU TO HAVE AND TO HOLD.

FAST FORWARD HUNDRED SEASONS LATER,

CELEBRATING ONE TRUE GREAT LOVE, THAT WILL LAST FOREVER!…

CAUSE I’VE SELDOM SEEN THIS KIND OF LOVE IN MY ENTIRE LIFETIME.

WANT SO MUCH TO FEEL PART OF YOU TWO!

LOVING FEELINGS ARE ABOUND RIGHT HERE, EVERYWHERE, EVERY PLACE.

IF YOU NEED TO KNOW, OUR WISH FOR YOU!...

(All) CHORUS:

IN MY LIFETIME (IN MY LIFETIME)

MY LIFETIME

CHANGES THAT I (HOPE TO/KNOW I’LL) SEE

FOR YOU AND ME!

IN MY LIFETIME (IN MY LIFETIME)

MY LIFETIME

OH, WE (HOPE TO/KNOW WE’LL) BE LIVING

IN A WORLD THAT LETS US BE FREE!

(Sari)

LIKE MANY WOMEN, WHO KEEP ON DREAMING

OF FINDING THAT TRUE LOVE, WHO WILL ALWAYS BE THERE (ENDLESSLY),

SHARING IN MY LAUGHTER AND MY TEARS.

SEEING YOU BOTH, SURELY GIVES ME HOPE, I FORGET MY FEARS (I FORGET MY FEARS)!

(Myra)

AND I HOPE THAT GOD’S GRACE GOES WITH YOU, ANYWHERE, ANY PLACE.

THIS DAY, YOU MADE ME FEEL SO CLOSE TO YOU!

DURING TRYING TIMES THAT WE USED TO HAVE, YOU WERE THERE BY MY SIDE.

NOW I KNOW (NOW I KNOW), ALL MY PRAYERS HAVE COME TRUE!

(All) CHORUS:

CODA 1:

NOW I KNOW (NOW I KNOW), ALL MY DREAMS HAVE COME TRUE!

CODA 2:

MY LIFETIME (MY LIFETIME )

OH, WE KNOW WE’LL BE LIVING

A HUNDRED SEASONS,

SEASONS OF LOVE…

SEASONS OF LOVE…

SEASONS OF LOVE…

My Greencard Interview

This is the Moment!
(from Jekyll & Hyde - The Musical)
I obviously didn't compose this, but the words to this song captured exactly how I felt on this day,
my Greencard Interview
05 March 2001


This is the moment!
This is the day,
When I send all my doubts and demons
On their way!

Every endeavor,
I have made - ever -
Is coming into play,
Is here and now - today!

This is the moment,
This is the time,
When the momentum and the moment
Are in rhyme!

Give me this moment -
This precious chance -
I'll gather up my past
And make some sense at last!

This is the moment,
When all I've done -
All the dreaming,
Scheming and screaming,
Become one!

This is the day -
See it sparkle and shine,
When all I've lived for
Becomes mine!

For all these years,
I've faced the world alone,
And now the time has come
To prove to them
I've made it on my own!

This is the moment -
My final test -
Destiny beckoned,
I never reckoned,
Second Best!

I won't look down,
I must not fall!
This is the moment,
The sweetest moment of them all!

This is the moment!
Damn all the odds!
This day, or never,
I'll sit forever
With the gods!

When I look back,
I will always recall,
Moment for moment,
This was the moment,
The greatest moment
Of them all!

THEY ARE TWO ANGELS, CREATED IN GOD’S MOLD.

THEY ARE MY TREASURE, MORE PRECIOUS THAN GOLD.

MY PILLAR OF STRENGTH THAT NEVER GROWS OLD.

THAT’S WHY I’M HERE … THEIR STORY MUST BE TOLD!

IN A WAR THAT WAS BITTER AND COLD,

MAN MET BEAUTY, A SIGHT TO BEHOLD.

IN LOVE AND MARRIED, TO HAVE AND TO HOLD…

“TILL DEATH DO US PART”, WAS WRITTEN IN BOLD!

WE’VE FINALLY REACHED THE MOMENT,

A DAY TO CELEBRATE …

A LOVE BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE, WHO WERE MEANT TO BE ONE.

NORA AND PURITO, SHARE A BOND THAT’S SO TRUE.

VOWS, FIFTY YEARS AGO, ARE NOW MADE ANEW.

MORE THAN SIX HUNDRED FULL MOONS AGO, THEY WERE WED TO EACH OTHER

AND MADE A PROMISE TO LOVE … TO LOVE NO OTHER.

AS I WALK ALONG THE BEATEN PATH

AND SAIL THE OCEAN OF LIFE,

I SEE SO MANY CHILDREN IN THEIR SUFFERING AND STRIFE.

IN THEIR FACES, PAIN OF WORDS UNSPOKEN,

INFLICTED BY THEIR FAMILIES … NOW BROKEN.

WHY DO SOME LOVE AFFAIRS END AND THE WORLD SEEM SO SAD?

BUT NOT THESE TWO, THESE TWO LOVERS, MY HEROES,

MY MOM & MY DAD!

AS I STAND BEFORE YOU AND MY FAMILY’S PEERS …

I’M ALL GROWN UP AND RID OF MY CHILDHOOD FEARS.

MY SOUL IS FILLED WITH JOY … MUST HOLD BACK THE TEARS,

AS GOD’S GRACE SURROUNDS THEM IN THEIR GOLDEN YEARS!

NORA AND PURITO, SHARE A BOND THAT’S SO TRUE.

VOWS, FIFTY YEARS AGO, ARE NOW MADE ANEW.

WHY DO LOVE AFFAIRS END AND THE WORLD SEEM SO SAD?

OH, NOT THESE TWO, NOT THESE LOVERS, THESE HEROES,

MY MOM & MY DAD!

WHY DO LOVE AFFAIRS END AND THE WORLD SEEM SO SAD?

BUT NOT THESE TWO, THESE TWO LOVERS, MY HEROES,

MY MOM & MY DAD!

19 January 1999

YESTERDAY, I WAS LOST, THOUGHT THIS DAY WOULD NEVER COME.

KEPT GIVING THE EXCUSE, I’LL NEVER FIND THE RIGHT ONE.

THEN THERE YOU WERE, YOU CAME ALONG…

LIKE A BREEZE, WITH SOME SWEET SONG…

FROM TWO DIFFERENT WORLDS , WE AGREED TO SHARE ONE.

TODAY, NOW A MAN, I TAKE GREAT PRIDE,

AS I TAKE YOU FOR MY BRIDE.

NOW THAT YOU’LL BE MY WIFE,

AND FRIEND FOR LIFE.

TOMORROW, AND ALL OUR DAYS…

ALL THE YEARS THAT COME OUR WAY.

NOT ONLY WILL I BE THERE FOR YOU,

I PROMISE I’LL ALWAYS BE TRUE.

BECAUSE OF YOU, I NOW KNOW CAN DO ANTHING!

IF I COULD, I WOULD GIVE YOU EVERYTHING.

NOW MY WORLD DOESN’T HAVE TO REMAIN SURREAL.

I CAN GRAB HOLD OF EVERTHING THAT’S REAL.

IF LIFE SOMETIMES ISN’T AS GREAT AS IT SEEMS...

NO, NO MORE, I HAVE YOU, THE KEY TO MY DREAMS.

THAT’S YOU, THE KEY TO MY DREAMS.
