dear diary,

the third song on side B of the christmas way demo tape to my
recollection is the third song that i wrote but in my notebook the
lyrics thereof appear after the lyrics of four other songs. 

anyway, when a friend of mine heard me sing this song acappella he asked
me for a copy of the lyrics saying he'd like to sing it for someone. he
said he'd sing with the accompaniment of his guitar.

my notebook shows three dates after lyrics of this song. the earliest
is june 22,1991.  maybe, this is the date i finished the melody and the
original lyrics. the other dates may indicate when i added new lyrics to
the song.

guitar intro

i need someone
who could love me
i want to know
just how it feels
i need someone
who could love me
show her to me
show her to me

how can love
be so unkind
why is love
so hard to find
how can i
still see my way
how can i
go on this way

is there someone
who could love me
someone who'd care
and treat me well
is there someone
who could love me
i cannot tell
i cannot say

guitar instrumental

are you someone
who could love me
someone who'd care
and treat me well
are you someone
who could love me
i cannot tell
i cannot say

how can love
be so unkind
why is love
so hard to find
how can i
still see my way
how can i
go on this way

is there someone
who could love me
someone who'd care
and treat me well
is there someone
who could love me
i cannot tell
i cannot say

my notebook shows a last paragraph dated September 14, 1991 which i did
not sing in the demo tape. it goes this way.

i hope someday
you would tell me
somehow you'd care
and treat me well
i hope someday
you would tell me
you're that someone
who could love me

the other day i gave a filipino friend of mine  a cassette copy of some
of my songs that i made from my cd here so he could listen to them in
his car. yesterday, he told me it is not a good idea for him to listen
to my songs while he is driving because he is liable to fall asleep if
he did so.

i reminded him that is precisely why i told him beforehand that at home
i listen to my songs when it's time for me to go to sleep. most of the
time, after two or three songs, i am asleep already.
