[Intro]
(Beat: A soft ukulele melody transitions into a heavy, slow-jam reggae beat)
(Yeah...)
Dedicated to the one.
Across the ocean, but right here in my heart.
Check it.
[Verse 1]
(Beat: Minimalist bass with a crisp "rim-shot" on the snare)
I was traveling light, just a soul on the move
Searching for a feeling, searching for a groove
Then I saw you standing by the Manila bay
With a smile that could take all my troubles away
You got that island grace, that sunshine glow
And I knew right then I wasn't gonna let go.
[Pre-Chorus]
(Beat: Layered harmonies and a rising synth swell)
And my heart starts skipping (Skipping!)
The rhythm is hitting (Hitting!)
I’m looking for the words but I’m only just sitting
I’m tryna find the courage just to make a move
Before I lose the feeling and I lose the groove!
Listen!
[Chorus]
(Beat: Full, lush tropical drop with a deep bass groove)
Oh, my Filipina love, you’re driving me wild
I’m getting lost in the glow of your smile
I’ve been in a daze since you walked on by
The prettiest star underneath the sky!
(Whoa-oh-oh!)
Yeah, my Filipina love!
(Whoa-oh-oh!)
The only one I'm thinking of!
[Verse 2]
(Vocal: More melodic, smooth R&B delivery)
I’m a good man, and you got me feeling so sweet
From the mountains high to the city street
I don't need a million girls, I just need one
And you're looking like the only one under the sun
From Boracay sands to the lights of the town
You’re the queen of the islands, you’re wearing the crown.
[Bridge]
(Music: Everything drops out – just a pulsing bass and a soft wood-block hit)
I’m waiting on you...
Tell me, whatcha gonna do?
(Vocal: A powerful, soulful, soaring belt)
YEAH, YOU’RE THE ONE!
BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN!
[Outro]
(The ukulele and the reggae bassline blend together)
My Filipina Love.
(Yeah, my island queen)
From the islands to the world.
(Yeah)
My Filipina Love.
