Dear Jojo,

I am all good!! How 'bout you?

I bookmarked your link but I can't seem to open it. Is there any other way to view or hear your clue? Write to me again as I can't answer your question now.

Maraming salamat po!!

A okay, perhaps due to unavailability
of flash player with your computer,
by the way i gonna try to send you
a copy thru link if it is allowed here
but anyhow, per what i heard the lyrics goes
like this starting the first stanza:
"Day after day
You have showed me the way"
if it can't be heard please

Answer
Dear Jojo,

Ok. The second link already allowed me to listen to the song. It's a great song from an artist who just disappeared after that song. Indeed that was YOU AND ME by DOUG PHILLIPS. It was released in 1983 supported by an Asian tour. I remember him singing that song in every TV program available then, EAT BULAGA, STUDENT CANTEEN, VILMA!, etc. It was huge, huge hit together with another one-hit wonder SO FAR AWAY FROM HOME by DAVID NEWMAN (remember the lines, ON MY OWN AGAIN, ON THIS DESERT ISLAND, SO FAR AWAY FROM HOME, ONCE AGAIN I FIND ALL AROUND IN SILENCE WITH YOU STILL ON MY MIND). Nothing has been known much about DOUG PHILLIPS, disappearing after that one big hit but certainly leaving us with a warm song.

Maraming salamat po!
