Can This Be Love / Kahit Habang Buhay

i was in grade school when these songs first played. back then, Smokey Mountain was a big hit among us youngsters who went to school each morning, hoping that the radio would play their songs before we hit the school gates.

i even remember excitedly waiting for Kahit Habang Buhay so i could sing the second voice to myself. those were the days...

CAN THIS BE LOVE
Smokey Mountain

Can this be love I'm feeling right now
I know for certain I'm reeling right now
I don't recall ever feeling this way
Tell me what does one say
To one who makes me feel this way

Can this be love I'm feeling right now
I am not sure of this feeling somehow
Why do I tremble whenever you're near
I can't seem to say my words so you'll hear

This is the first time I'm gonna say "I love you"
It's the first time I ever felt
So helpless deep inside
If I had to say a thousand times
I'd tell you once again
This is the first time I'm gonna say "I love you"

Can this be love I'm feeling right now
I love the feeling it's giving me now
A voice inside me is guiding me now
It's telling me now
To take your hand and say

This is the first time I'm gonna say "I love you"
It's the first time I ever felt
So helpless deep inside
If I had to say a thousand times
I'd tell you once again
This is the first time I'm gonna say "I love you"

This is the first time I'm gonna say "I love you"
It's the first time I ever felt
So helpless deep inside
If I had to say a thousand times
I'd tell you once again
This is the first time
This is the first time
It's the first time I'm gonna say
"I love you"

KAHIT HABANG BUHAY
Smokey Mountain

Nakakalito ang mundo.
Kung sinong mahal mo, s'yang ayaw sa 'yo
H'wag sanang masayang itong
Damdamin kong laan sa 'yo.

Pa'no naman ako?
Kay tagal ko nang umibig sa 'yo.
H'wag sanang masayang itong
Damdamin kong laan sa 'yo.

Kahit habang buhay maghihintay ako sa 'yo.
Kahit pa maglaho ang mundo.
Kahit habang buhay maghihintay ako sa 'yo.
Asahan mong hindi magpapalit
Itong damdamin ko.

Pa'no naman ako?
Kay tagal ko nang umibig sa 'yo.
H'wag sanang masayang itong
Damdamin kong laan sa 'yo.

Kahit habang buhay maghihintay ako sa 'yo.
Kahit pa maglaho ang mundo.
Kahit habang buhay maghihintay ako sa 'yo.
Asahan mong hindi magpapalit
Itong damdamin ko.

Kahit habang buhay maghihintay ako sa 'yo.
Kahit pa maglaho ang mundo.
Kahit habang buhay maghihintay ako sa 'yo.
Asahan mong hindi magpapalit
Hindi-hindi magpapalit
Hindi-hindi magpapalit
Itong damdamin ko.
