We Could be Together..

A classic song by Debbie Gibson, a singer from my 7 series era...

I'll never forget the first time I heard this song. It was a Primary 5 campfire held at NACTI campsite, South Buona Vista area. My team leader, Zanny taught us this song for our group's campfire performance. I can even remember the dance steps... haha... I'm amazed!!!!
But it's kind of hard to forget... cos our juvenile steps were practically a series of charades to the lyrics... haha..

For example:
"If you say 'Jump', I'll say how high" , the step involved was a series of jumps ..
"If you said "Run!" I'd run and fly", the steps involved were running on the spot followed by a flying action...

Come on .. we were only primary 5. ;p

Why the sudden mention of this song? Was marking a whole stack of Prelim paper 1 (can't take it.. stories are too unrealistic) , got bored... kept fidgeting.. maybe I should go out and mark...

I had the radio switched on in the background. Heard this familar but seldom heard tune and felt nostalgic, coupled with the fact that 796 is approaching.. So apt!

There should be more modern songs like this... clean... happy... cheerful... hopeful...

We Could be Together

by Debbie Gibson

.

If I were an only child

I would be a lonely child

But baby we've got nothing to lose

I'm standing tall in my own shoes

I'll take this chance

I'll make this choice

I'll right this wrong

I'll raise my voice

If it means

We'll be together for a while

.

I have never had a doubt

But for you I'll take time out

I'll push his love far away from me

And then I'll be completely free

I'll give up my security

For just the possibility

That we could be together for a while

.

CHORUS

If you said, "Jump!" I'd say, "How high?"

If you said, "Run!" I'd run and fly

Just for the chance

Just for the moment

Should the moment pass us by

And if you ask once, I'll tell you twice

I'll ignore the world's advice

If we could be together for a while

END OF CHORUS

.

I am taken by your strength

I've thought about it at great length

I thought that I was happy now

But there are things that I found out

Happiness means greater things

I'll sit here 'til that telephone rings

Then we could be together for a while.

.

CHORUS

.

BRIDGE:

Wait'll I tell my guy (wait'll I tell)

Wait'll I tell my other friends

They'll all think I'm crazy-And you know what?

That depends...'cause I'm crazy in love

With you

And everyone's best won't do

.

They'll say my hopes

Will not come true

But I'm taking the chance

Because you only live once-Only live once (only live once)

And...If you said, "Jump!" I'd say, "How high?"

If you said, "Run!" You know I'd fly

Just for the chance

Just for the moment

Should the moment pass us by

And if you ask once, I'll tell you twice

I'll ignore the world's advice

If we could be together for a while

.

BRIDGE:

There are no guarantees

But if it means

There's even a possibility

Then I'll give up whatever it takes

I know I've made some mistakes before

It may be just another closed door

But we could be together for a while

.

If you said, "Jump!" I'd say, "How high?"

If you said, "Run!" I'd run and fly

Just for the chance

Just for the moment

Should the moment pass us by

Ask me once, I'll tell you twice,

You know I'll ignore the world's advice

If we could be together for a while

.

CHORUS

.

Don't you know that we could be together for a while?
