Lyrics:

Bucket full of tears
Baby know I’m here
I’m here waiting

Just close your precious eyes
And just realize
I’m still fighting

For you to be with me
Sit under this tree
And we can watch the sunrise

Wake up feel the air that I’m breathin
I can’t explain this feeling that I’m feelin
I won’t go another day without you
Hold on I promise its gets brighter
When it rains I’ll hold you even tighter
I won’t go another day without you (without you)

I know your feeling down
Like no ones around
But baby your wrong

Just get rid of the fear
Promise that I’m here
I’ll never be gone

So baby come with me
We can fly away and we can see the
Stars shine

And baby you can be my love

Wake up feel the air that I’m breathing
I can’t explain this feeling that I’m feeling
I won’t go another day without you
Hold on I promise its gets brighter
When it rains I’ll hold you even tighter
I won’t go another day without you (without you)

This is me tonight
No more games and no more lies
And I know its right
Cause of the way you look into my eyes
And when I hold you tight
The worries disappear I’m glad your in my life

Wake up feel the air that I’m breathing
I can’t explain this feeling that I’m feeling
I won’t go another day without you
Hold on I promise its gets brighter
When it rains I’ll hold you even tighter
I won’t go another day without you (without you)

My Godfather, "Kuya" Frank, passed away last October after a 4-year long battle with cancer and it struck a familiar feeling in my gut. My Dad passed away when I was 10 and the reailty of losing another father figure really hit me hard.


I wrote this song not about a death or losing someone to an illness, but about wanting to be with someone so bad that you couldn't go another day without them-- but this song spoke differently to my Kuya Frank's wife Ate Rhea. She told me that she listened to this song as if it was Kuya Frank singing to her, fighting for her, and wanting to be there for her through all of this. Thus, the original concept for this video was born and it stuck in my head-- and I pray that this video helps you realize that you are not alone in your struggle, whether it is you or a loved one going through it.


Don't forget to let your loved ones know that you love them... We never know what tomorrow might bring.

This video is based on The Five Stages of Grief (Kübler-Ross model). Everyone who deals with a life-changing or life-threatening event has a unique journey to go through, but I still hope that you all can relate to this in one way or another.
