With every word, he reaffirmed his commitment to be there for her, even beyond the constraints of life itself. The lyrics echoed through the concert hall, resonating deep within the souls of those who listened:"Hanggang sa huli, ako'y nanditoAng puso kong ito, sa 'yo'y walang hanggananSa bawat tibok, ito'y iyong maririnigHabang tayo'y magkasama, 'di mawawala ang pag-ibig."
