Quietly she sat right beside me
Hello love, was all she said
Are you also feeling lonely
With her eyes she answered yes
In Makati when we met
A moment I would never forget
Her perfume filled the warm night air
The yellow rose, she wore in her hair
Is when I knew how much I cared
And I told her with a kiss

We walked along through the city
And I held her by the hand
When I am gone will you miss me
Think of how our love began
Underneath Manila's sky
We knew we had to say goodbye
And for the last time we shared our dreams
Our deepest secrets and what our love means
I made my promise she made a wish
And I left her with a kiss

I'm going back to the philippines
Where my love is waiting
I'm going back to the philippines
To see my love once again

I'm going back to the philippines
Where my love is waiting
I'm going back to the philippines
To see my love once again

With you is where I belong

I'm going back to the philippines
Where my love is waiting
I'm going back to the philippines
To see my love once again

I'm going back to the philippines
Where my love is waiting
I'm going back to the philippines
To see my love once again

With you is where I belong
