Let The Pain Remain

Lea Salonga

Love comes, love goes

But a certain feeling never lets me be

Somehow I know

Quite a part of me's unchanged since you've been gone

Like a sturdy tree that's seen a thousand seasons

I still shed my leaves in winter

To grow them back in spring

To welcome life again

To welcome you



So goes my life

Still believing dreams of having you around

Too bad, memories

Feed the mind and not the heart where I want you to be

So I ask myself what you have left behind for me

To go on each day to live as if

I had you once again

What else is there that's real

But all the pain that I feel?



So let the pain remain forever in my heart

For every throb it brings is

One more moment spent with you

I'll let the pain bring on the rain

If that's the only way

If there's no other way to be with you again



So goes my life

Still believing dreams of having you around

Too bad, memories

Feed the mind and not the heart where I want you to be

So I ask myself what you have left behind for me

To go on each day to live as if

What else is there that's real

But all the pain that I feel?



So let the pain remain forever in my heart

For every throb it brings is

One more moment spent with you

I'll let the pain bring on the rain

If that's the only way

If there's no other way to be with you again



Oooh...so let the pain remain forever in my heart

For every throb it brings is

One more moment spent with you

I'll let the pain bring on the rain

If that's the only way (if that's the only way)

If there's no other way to be with you again
