(Turn around)
Every now and then
I get a little bit lonely
And you're never coming round

Hindi ko namalayang tumigil na pala ako sa paglalakad at pagtingin ko sa gilid, wala na ang cute na batang babae.

(Turn around)
Every now and then
I get a little bit tired
Of listening to the sound of my tears

Nilingon ko ang gilid ko. Nakita kong nasa gilid ko na ang matagal ko ng hinanap, kanina pa, "Hi, bestfriend." she stated. "Congratulations on your wedding day," she cried and hugged me. "I'm sorry for what I have done and so I am here to make my mistakes right," humiwalay siya sa yakap at saka ako tiningnan ulit.

(Turn around)
Every now and then
I get a little bit nervous
That the best of all the years have gone by

Tiningnan ko ang sarili ko.

(Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified
And then I see the look in your eyes

Ang hawak kong bouquet at ang bestfriend ko, doon ko lang napagtanto, "Ikaw ang maid of honor," I whimpered and she had mewled as she hugged me again.

(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart
(Turn Around, bright eyes)
Every now and then
I fall apart

"Congratulations again, bestfriend. Please be happy," she said and left.

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever

Bahagya akong natigilan bago ako humarap ulit sa altar. Laking gulat ko ng sinalubong ako nila mama at papa ng yakap. Nanatiling nakabilog ang mga mata ko sa nangyayaring ito. "Congratulations, anak," papa said and I cried.

And we'll only be making it right
'Cause we'll never be wrong
Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
(All of the time)

Humiwalay sila sa yakap at tiningnan ako, tiningnan ko naman sila pabalik, "Mom, you knew?"

I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
(Forever's gonna start tonight)

"Actually, n'ong kanina, hindi pa but then, your dad suddenly said about this. The moment he landed in Philippines, pumunta siya agad rito saka niya ako tinawagan. Sinabi niyang nakauwi na siya at kunin ko siya sa airport. Si July daw ang nagsabi sa kan'ya ng lahat ng mga 'to,"

Once upon a time
I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart

"Hindi ako makapaniwalang ikakasal na ang unica hija namin," dad suddenly blurted out.

My heart swelled in rejoice. Parang hindi ko pa tanggap ang lahat. Parang hindi pa pumapasok sa utak ko ang mga nangyayari. Parang imposible lahat ang mga nangyayari ngayon.

Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart

I closed my eyes and the moment I opened them, he was already infront of me. "You're so beautiful," he commented and I didn't deign to retort on him instead I smack his broad shoulders with a smile. Oh, fuck, ba't ang g'wapo ng isang ito? Anak ba ito ni Adonis? Oh, wait---si Dandreb ba 'to? Magkamukha sila ni Vince kaya malamang!

(Turn around)
Every now and then
I know you'll never be the boy
You always wanted to be

"Tang ina, Dandreb! Sinong mag-aakalang kasal ko ito?! Ha?! 'Ni hindi ka pa nga nag-propose! Nakakagulat ka!"

(Turn around)
But every now and then
I know you'll always be the only boy
Who wanted me the way that I am

"I don't need to propose anymore kasi alam ko, ikaw na talaga. At ako na talaga ang para sa'yo,"

(Turn around)
Every now and then
I know there's no one in the universe
As magical and wondrous as you

"Corny mo,"

"Atleast totoo," he smiled and took my hand with his. Tinahak namin ang harap ng altar bago kami umupo sa isang magarbong bench.

(Turn around)
Every now and then
I know there's nothing any better
There's nothing that I just wouldn't do

We both smiled to the priest, as I leaned to him a little bit, "Nga pala, bakit wala akong veil?"

"Seryoso ka? Tinatanong pa ba 'yan?" him.

"Oo naman,"

"Bakit, big deal sa'yo?" siya.

"Hindi big deal sa akin. Tinatanong ko nga lang. Curious ako,"

"Para kapag mag-kiss na tayo, diretso na. Wala ng nakaharang-harang pa," seryoso niyang sabi, walang pag-aalinlangan. Gan'un?

(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart
(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart

My eyes turned perfect circles, "Grabe. Ang straightforward mo naman,"

"Akala ko ba nagtatanong ka?"

"Oo na, oo na," I tsked saka ko nalang binalingan ulit ang pari.

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever

Mabilis natapos ang opening remarks ng pari o kung ano man ang tawag d'yan saka kami nagpalitan ng I do's ni Dandreb.

And we'll only be making it right
'Cause we'll never be wrong
Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
(All of the time)

The people hollered in the whole venue as they were begging for a kiss, "Kiss na daw," he said, plainly. He was holding my hands at nakahalukipkip lang ako sa harapan niya, dinudungaw ang nakayuko kong ulo.

"Ha? Kailangan ba tala---" I tried to say but someone stopped me.

"Stop the wedding!"
