Ikaw Sana
Ogie Alcasid · Other Songs - Ogie Alcasid
mayroon isang mamahalin,
sasambahin.
Sa buhay natin,
mayroon isang
bukod tangi sa lahat,
at iibigin ng tapat.
Ngunit'sa di sinasadyang
pagkakataon
at para bang ika'y nilalaro ng
panahon.
May makikilala,
at sa unang pagkikita,
may tunay na pag-ibig na nadarama.
Refrain:
Bakit ba hindi ka nakilala ng
ako'y malaya pa.
At hindi ngayon ang puso ko'y
may kapiling na.
Bakit ba hindi ka nakilala ng
ako'y nag-iisa.
Sino ang iibigin,
ikaw sana.
Di mo napapansin,
sa bawat araw na kasama mo sya,
kapiling ka nya.
Bawat sandali
punung-puno
ng ligaya't saya,
damdamin ay iba.
At sa di sinasadyang
pagkakataon, at para bang ika'y nilalaro ng
panahon.
Bigla kayong nagyakap,
mga labi nyo'y naglapat,
ang inyong mga mata'y nagtatanong
at nangangarap.
Ikaw Sana
