ANSWER: Dear Tek,

Here's your lyrics:

I STILL BELIEVE IN US TOGETHER / HIYAS

Lookin' back through all those years
Babe, we've gone through everything there is
We never thought that we'd come this far
But thank God above, we never walked out the door.

Yes there were times we tried to give up
But our love kept us from drifting apart
Our faith in each other was all that we needed to survive.

Chorus:
Baby, I still believe in us together
It's gonna be that way, come what may
Baby, I still believe in us together
I know that our love for each other
Will keep us together every day.

All of our friends, they tell us the same
With love alone, we'll never make it on our own
But look at us, our love is all we have
We're going strong, yes, we've proven them wrong.

We showed them all, with love we can walk tall
Just as long as we keep on believin'
There won't be any leavin'
Yes, we'll stay that way
Love will show us the way.
(Repeat Chorus)
(Instrumental)
(Repeat Chorus)

Maraming salamat po!!

QUESTION: hello sir bong,

  it's me again, for this time i wanna ask if you have a lyrics of alone again and free i don't who sang this song and if its from the 80's.
 
   Tnx po again...

Answer
Dear Tek,

It's a 70's song actually. The artist was singer-songwriter-actress KATHE GREEN and the title of the song is ALONE AGAIN AND FREE from her self-titled album released 1976. KATHE GREEN provided the singing voice of a young MARK LESTER in the 1968 musical movie OLIVER! The plot of a ghost singer was kept a secret for a long time until it was revealed in 2004 or 36 years after the movie was released. Here's its lyrics:

ALONE AGAIN AND FREE / KATHE GREEN

Here I am
Alone again and free
Yet everyone in town wants to go out with me
But there is no one there
That i would like to see
I'm home again and free.

Here I am
alone again and free
Waiting for a special man to call on me
And there's nowhere else
that I would rather be
Except home again and free.

Refrain:
I've been a restless girl
I've lived past half my life
On the road trying to be free
Makin' sure that no one ever needed me
Or is it that I didn't want to meet anyone at all?

So here I am again
Where I said I'd never be
Waiting for the man I love to call on me
And how strange I feel
Now the joke's on me
'Cause I'm here again
Alone again
And I guess I'm not so very free.

Maraming salamat po!!
