Kalapana - Real Thing

Full Moon Tonight [1995]

Here comes the night
Once again
I'll be feeling lonely
Oh, if only things could work out like we've planned

Where can love be
Tell me why it's so hard to find somebody
Who will stand by me
And take the time to understand
And show me love again


I want the real thing
Or nothing at all
I need someone that I can be sure will catch me
If I should fall

Ooh Someone who'll be there when I call
Then I'll know that it's the real thing

I want the real thing
To hold me each night
Someone to love me over and over
Making the future bright
Ooh Someone who'll be there when I call
Just give me the real thing


Where is the moon
Won't it smile
On just one more dreamer
Let your beams come down
And fill my empty room

Here comes the night
But if there's still a chance
That love can find me
I'll be here
Crossing my fingers

I want the real thing
Or nothing at all
I need someone that I can be sure will catch me
If I should fall

Ooh Someone who'll be there when I call
Then I'll know that it's the real thing

I want the real thing
To hold me each night
Someone to love me over and over
Making the future bright
Ooh Someone who'll be there when I call

I want to know for sure
That I can feel secure
Knowing I've found an everlasting love
And when I get that under control
Then I won't let go

I want the real thing
Or nothing at all
I need someone that I can be sure will catch me
If I should fall

Someone who'll be there when I call
Then I'll know that it's the real thing

I want the real thing
To hold me each night
Someone to love me over and over

Making the future bright
Ooh Someone who'll be there when I call
And I'll know that it's the real thing
That'll be the real thing

Just today, I've heard this song being played on the radio 3 times - morning, while on my way to the work, before lunch at the office and @ 3pm while having my coffee break. It is being played redundantly here in the Phils., being covered by some Filipino bands in their gigs, not to mention a number of my friends who own an album. Truly, Kalapana still ROCKS! The Philippines been missin' Mackey for more than ten years now...

classic kalapana...big fan here!

[babycatsina]

I love them both --> Mackey Feary of Kalapana (remake) & Bobby Caldwell (original). I would always agree that no one beats the original. But this time, Mackey wins! Well, in my opinion...
