When She Passed By
I heard that you were getting married I always knew that you’d do well You’re a legendary beauty From our small provincial town Ilocos joined to Leyte Two important families A glorious occasion A foretold destiny I followed in the morning papers How exciting it has been The courtship and the whirlwind romance For the sweetest of beauty queens He’s crazy for you Who wouldn’t be, I’m sure And nothing matters more than that And you’ll never be poor no more How she looked when she passed by How she looked when she passed by I feel like I’m watching history Living before my eyes Many years from now Letras de cancionesWe’ll recall just how How she looked when she passed by I know that you are in there somewhere Letters get misplaced in the mail Guess that there was some confusion Amidst those throngs and swells Did you see me outside? Did you see me wave? When you passed in your car Ah well, that’s okay How she looked when she passed by How she looked when she passed by Feel like I’m watching history Living before my eyes Many years from now We’ll recall just how How she looked when she passed by From Letras Mania
