I'd Give My Life For You - Lea Salonga

[airylcorilla]

When Lea said "You didn't ask me to be born. Why should you learn of war or pain.." I felt that. It relates to the toxic asian culture where children are burdened with the responsibility from their parents on meeting their expectations and use them to fill the things that they failed to do themselves.

[meganthememe]

I'm probably overthinking this, but when she originally played Kim she didn't have any children, and now she does. It feels like she added so much more depth to Kim and a character, even though her portrayal of Kim was amazing before

[clydegenesisocampocuevas]

No matter how many Kims would sing this song, id always go back to Lea.

[truzzio]

This is one of those times when I can’t help singing that some of these songs are wasted on the young. Don’t get me wrong, Lea was STUNNING in the role, as was Eva. But the nuance brought by a experience and motherhood... WHEW!

[coolamazeballz]

No one can beat the original Kim!, Period....

3 decades have pass when she first sang this song, but it sounded like she just sang it the first time, Her voice never gets old, also her face, too beautiful for a 49 year old (but i thinks she's around 47/48 here)

[WhippedFanGurl]

No one, I mean NO ONE can ever play the role of Kim the way Lea Salonga did. Forever my idol.

[whitmer]

Why i feel i want to cry. I can feel the emotion of a loving mom. I miss my mom. 😭😭😭

[EdensSecret]

Lea can still sing exactly as like original

[stanleybillanes]

I said it before and say it again, there's nothing like the original, period..

[johnwright]

Keep singing Lea.
You are loved by most ❤ people in the world

[mewnryk]

she is such a queen. oh god. she transforms and gives realness to the character everytime she sings. im teary eyed 🥺👉👈

You who I cradled in my arms.
You,
Asking as little as you can.
Little snip of a little man,
I know I'd give my life for you.

You didn't ask me to be born
You,
Why should you learn of war or pain?
To be sure you're not hurt again,
I swear I'd give my life for you.

I've tasted love beyond all fear.
And you should know it's love that brought you here.
And in one perfect night,
When the stars burned like new,
I knew what I must do.
I'll give you a million things I'll never own.
I'll give you a world to conquer when you're grown.

You will be who you want to be.
You
Can choose whatever heaven grants.
As long as you can have your chance,
I swear I'll give my life for you.

Sometimes I wake up, reaching for him.
I feel his shadow brush my head,
But there's just moonlight on my bed.
Was he a ghost?
Was he a lie?
That made my body laugh and cry?
Then by my side the proof I see, his little one.
Gods of the sun,
Bring him to me.

You will be who you want to be.
You
Can choose whatever heaven grants.
As long as you can have your chance,
I swear I'll give my life for you.

No one can stop what I must do.
I swear I'll give my life for you.

Lyrics:

You who I cradled in my arms
You, asking as little as you can
Little snip of a little man
I know I'd give my life for you

You didn't ask me to be born
You, why should you learn of war or pain?
To make sure you're not hurt again
I swear I'll give my life for you

I've tasted love beyond all fear
And you should know it's love
That brought you here
And in one perfect night
When the stars burned like new
I knew what I must do.

I'll give you a million things I'll never own
I'll give you a world to conquer when you're grown

You will be who you want to be
You can choose whatever heaven grants
As long as you can have your chance
I swear I'll give my life for you.

Sometimes I wake up
Reaching for him
I feel his shadow brush my head
But there's just moonlight on my bed

Was he a ghost, was he a lie?
That made my body laugh and cry?
Then by my side the proof I see
His little one, gods of the sun
Bring him to me!

You will be who you want to be
You, can choose whatever heaven grants
As long as you can have your chance
I swear I'll give my life for you

No one can stop what I must do
I swear I'll give my life for you!

Some voices suffered with age whatever people say about them but hers hasn't

[OrangeBlueKiss]

You who I cradled in my arms
You, asking as little as you can
Little snip of a little man
I know I'd give my life for you

You didn't ask me to be born
You, why should you learn of war or pain?
To make sure you're not hurt again
I swear I'll give my life for you

I've tasted love beyond all fear
And you should know it's love
That brought you here
And in one perfect night
When the stars burned like new
I knew what I must do

I'll give you a million things I'll never own
I'll give you a world to conquer when you're grown
You will be who you want to be
You can choose whatever heaven grants
As long as you can have your chance
I swear I'll give my life for you

Sometimes I wake up
Reaching for him
I feel his shadow brush my head
But there's just moonlight on my bed

Was he a ghost, was he a lie?
That made my body laugh and cry?
Then by my side the proof I see
His little one, gods of the sun
Bring him to me!

You will be who you want to be
You, can choose whatever heaven grants
As long as you can have your chance
I swear I'll give my life for you
No one can stop what I must do
I swear I'll give my life for you!

No life, no hope (no regrets, no return)
No chance, no change (no goodbye, no regrets)
One day (no return) one night (no goodbye)
One day (no regrets) one night (no return)
One day (no goodbye) one night (no regrets)
One day!
