12 years ago, today, you told me that you actually secretly practiced this song and wanted to sing for me on our wedding day... but you were not confident enough and instead, played the song on CD when we marched in for our dinner reception... Thank you, Philip, I was touched and still am... the fact that you had this thought of doing something for me and the fact that you had tried, I'm touched!
This song just melt my heart, I know that you mean ever word of this song, even till now.
12 years of marriage, you have always been here for me, even when the laughter turns to crying during my darkest moments; through the winning, losing, and trying, we have been together, you have always been here for me, thank you for loving me(it's not so easy, I know... :P) and I love you too :)
As sure as seasons are made for change, our lifetimes are made for years. Give us another 12 years, and I know that we'll still be together... 'cause you will be here.
I thank God for you, Philip - my dear, dear husband :)
Found this video uploaded by a mom dedicating the song to her children, the pictures are so beautiful! Except that it ended abruptly which might be a little distasteful to you who dislike abrupt ending of any song, hehe :P Anyway, it's still very nice~ enjoy!
Tomorrow morning if you wake up
And the sun does not appear,
I will be here.
If in the dark we lose sight of love,
Hold my hand and have no fear,
'Cause I will be here.
CHORUS
I will be here when you feel like being quiet;
When you need to speak your mind, I will listen.
And I will be here when the laughter turns to crying;
Through the winning, losing, and trying, we'll be together,
'Cause I will be here.
Tomorrow morning if you wake up
And the future is unclear,
I will be here.
As sure as seasons are made for change,
Our lifetimes are made for years,
So I will be here.
CHORUS
I will be here, so you can cry on my shoulder;
When the mirror tells us we're older, I will hold you.
And I will be here to watch you grow in beauty,
And tell you all the things you are to me;
I will be here.
I will be true to the promise I have made,
To you and to the One who gave you to me.
As sure as seasons are made for change,
Our lifetimes are made for years,
So I, I will be here.
We'll be together and I will be here.
I found another clip which embedding was disabled by the user, he dedicated this song to God. The interesting thing is, he uploaded pictures of benches, read BENCHES, many-different-types-of-benches, for the entire song!
Reminds me of the benches I placed in my FarmTown Maze Garden, haha!
I have always wanted to walk with you in the park, sitting on the benches, basking in the sun, listening to the bird singing, watching the ducks in the pond, and talking till the sun sets! Maybe we can do that when "the mirror tells us we're older" and when Mrs. Empty-Nest-Syndrome comes knocking on our door, haha!
Do click and watch it here: I Will Be Here by Gary Valenciano - Benches!!
Blessed 12th Wedding Anniversary!
Luv you~
Luv you~Our wedding verse: Song of songs 8:7
"Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away. If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned."

Dear Lao Po(Lydia),
Thank you for those words that really touched my heart. Indeed God is good and with Him in our lives and family, we can be sure that we’ll journey together till the end. Though we have many differences, He will keep us one by His love. Yes, I am definitely looking forward to the day when we can both be sitting on benches enjoying the sunrise and sunset together. Still remember the time when we were whale watching together and snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef. Such wonderful memories. I am so grateful to God for you and thanks for being there for me in so many ways and times too. Love you always.
Dear Lao Gong(Philip),
Sorry to reply only now.. You are so welcomed! Yes, of course I remember those wonderful times when we enjoyed God's creation together... how nice it would be if we can do it again together with our children! May God grant us this dream come true!! ;) Love you too, as always.
