This is one of my favorite senti songs, I don't know how or when I learned about this song, I just grew up liking it, I have been singing it since my high school days and I knew the words by heart. I found out later on that it was written by Ninoy Aquino for his wife, Cory Aquino, as a poem and the family have chosen Jose Mari Chan to put the accompanying music.
Anyway, here's a video and lyrics of the song I Fell in Love with the Same Woman Three Times, hope you like it as much as I do.
I Have Fallen In Love With The Same Woman Three Times
lyrics by Benigno 'Ninoy' Aquino
sung by Jose Mari Chan
I have fallen in love
with the same woman three times;
In a day spanning 19 years
of tearful joys and joyful tears.
I loved her first when she was young,
enchanting and vibrant, eternally new.
She was brilliant, fragrant,
and cool as the morning dew.
I fell in love with her the second time;
when first she bore her child and mine
always by my side, the source of my strength,
helping to turn the tide.
But there were candles to burn
the world was my concern;
while our home was her domain.
and the people were mine
while the children were hers to maintain;
So it was in those eighteen years and a day.
’till I was detained; forced in prison to stay.
Suddenly she’s our sole support;
source of comfort,
our wellspring of Hope.
On her shoulders felt the burden of Life.
I fell in love again,
with the same woman the third time.
Looming from the battle,
her courage will never fade
Amidst the hardships she has remained,
undaunted and unafraid.
she is calm and composed,
she is God’s lovely maid.
