Carina (Ukulele Original) Flip Version

Here's more fun with my new Flip cam. I guess this one is original! Filipino Americans should do more originals! I mean covers are nice and all, but it's always a little more satisfying to play something you wrote.

Flip cam sound isn't that great up close, but whatever it's cool. PLUS THIS SONG IS KINDA HARDS TO PLAY!

This song is gonna come out on an EP I'm gonna self-release for download in Jan '10! So look out for that!

Here are the lyrics (it's a sad song)

Oh Carina, thoughts of you running in and through my heart
I want to hold you near, though in time we'll drift apart
Still, you should know. I loved you though you never loved me
So I wish you happiness in your life without me

Some nights I look up to the stars
And pray that somehow through the dark
You know where my heart resides today
It's in the city by the bay (that's SF if you didn't know)
So close to you
Carina, it hurts me to love you

As lonely souls walk the night of this crowded city
I'd walk each night with a smile if you'd walk here with me
But time won't stand still. You'll move on and stop thinking of me
When I return, I won't feel mad if you don't recognize me

Just open up your heart and find
A place where till the end of time
In love, we'll make love above the stars
And all that keeps us far apart
This dream of you
Carina, it won't come true

Just as I thought I loved you
There's nothing I can do

Am I the selfish one to say
I want you with me night and day
I know it's too much a cross to bear
Holding onto what isn't there.
There's nothing there, Carina
I go nowhere with you, my love
the times we shared forgotten, love
And you don't care

or do you???
