To Reach You
Regine Velasquez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As I lie awake all through the night
the anger in my heart had all been gone
now the longing starts to cry
To reach you I'll fly across the sky
To tell you we belong together
we were meant to stay forever
A cold silence sits behind me now
I'd set the pain ,the doubts,the tears aside
Time must heal the wounds of my heart
To love you forever is all i desire
To reach you
I'll fly across the sky
to tell you we belong together
we were meant to stay forever
to reach you and touch you
Oh Ohh
the anger in my heart has long been gone
(to reach you i'd fly across the sky)
and tell you we belong together
we were meant to stay forever
to reach you
(and fly across the sky)
and tell you we belong together
we were meant to stay forever
(flying high above)
To reach you
(flying high on the wings of love)

That's how you put colors(riffs and runs) on a song. The agility that she showcased on this one was extraordinary!❤ Her signature decrescendo is so lovely😍 That's the one and only, the iconic, the best selling artist of all time, the Asia's Songbird, Regine Velasquez! That's how you utilize your 4.1octave range(A2-B6) and showing how does a full lyric coloratura soprano do contemporary music❤

She doesn't need to put expressive facial expressions just to get the message of the song accross. Boses pa lang ramdam mo na yung gustong iparating ng song. 😍

Still the voice to beat! Nobody does it better like the songbird

Aside from her signature belting which was/is the most powerful of all, it is her soft notes can leave us to death. So delicate and precious. Walang makagagawa ng ganyang control, dynamics na tunog mayaman. Siya lang at wala nang iba.
angelo lazaro
yun ung dahilan kung bakit sia tinawag na songbird. hindi ung birit nya. ung bird-like feminine tone nya,
