" When I was younger
I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart
And I watched
As he tried to reassemble it "
Ang bawat salitang lumalabas sa bibig ko'y karugtong nito ay lungkot na lumalon sa pagkatao ko. The song is my anthem on how I lost my dad, my mom, and the family that I've been dream of, pero hindi ito naging sagabal para sa pangarap kong kumanta kahit sa isang maliit na entablado. I smiled at the people who loves music and hearing my voice every night at this Diner. How I love singing.
" And my momma swore
That she would never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love
If it does not exist, but darlin'
You are, the only exception
You are, the only exception
You are, the only exception
You are, the only exception "
Habang binibigkas ko ang mga linyang yun, ay nakatingin ako sa isang taong kumupkop at nagpalaki sakin. Si nanay Mona Louisa Del Rio, nakakatandang kapatid ni mommy. Inilagaan niya ako simula noon, at siya na ngayon ang kinikilala kong nanay. She's been there through my ups and downs, at kahit kailan di niya ako iniwan at pinabayaan.
" Maybe I know, somewhere
Deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways
To make it alone
But keep a straight face
And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable, distance
And up until now
I had sworn to myself that I'm content
With lonelinessBecause none of it was ever worth the risk
But, you are, the only exception
You are, the only exception
You are, the only exception
You are, the only exception
've got a tight grip on reality
But I can't let go of what's in front of me here
I know your leaving in the morning, when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream, oh
You are, the only exception
You are, the only exception
You are, the only exception
You are, the only exceptionYou are, the only exception
You are, the only exception
You are, the only exception
You are, the only exception
And I'm on my way to believing
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing. "
Nakaka-bingi ang palakpakan ng mga tao, pero mas nakakabingi ang ngiting sumilay sa kanilang mga mata. This is what i want, to make people happy.
