Here Lies Love (Curtain Call)
[IMELDA]
When I was a young girl in Leyte
My dresses were all hand-me-downs and scraps
I’d see the people smile, when I would sing for them
How happy they all seemed when I would dance
Is it a sin to love too much?
Is it a sin to care?
[IMELDA AND MARCOS]
I do it all for you
How can it be unfair?
[IMELDA AND ENSEMBLE]
I know that when my number’s up
When I am called by God above
Don’t have my name inscribed into the stone
Just say
Here lies love!
Here lies love, here lies love!
Just say
Here lies love!
Here lies love, here lies love!
I know that when my number’s up
When I am called by God above
Don’t have my name inscribed into the stone
Just say
Here lies love!
Here lies love, here lies love!
Just say
Here lies love!
Here lies love, here lies love!
Just say
Here lies love!
Here lies love, here lies love!
