Paalam
Gary Granada · Other Songs - Gary Granada
Upang muling magsimula
Kulang ang dating himig
Upang buhaying muli
Ang ating pag-ibig
Sugat ay di maghihilom
Sa sandaa't 'sang taon
At ang hapdi'y singsariwa
Naghihilab maya'tmaya
Kulang ang karanasan
Upang ang buhay maintindihan
Kulang ang buong mundo
Upang alamin
Ang mga lihim ng puso
Kulang ang ating talino,
Tapang, galing at tiyaga
Upang gawing muling bago
Ang nabahirang sumpa
Kulang ang panahon
Sa isa pang pagkakataon
Paalam aking sinta
Huling paalam na dapat sana
Noon pa
Paalam
