Tie A Yellow Ribbon

I have fallen in love
With the same woman three times
In a day spanning nineteen years
Of tearful joys and joyful tears.

I loved her first when she was young
Enchanting and vibrant, eternally new
She was brilliant, fragrant and cool as the morning dew

I fell in love with her the second time
When first she bore her child and mine
She's always by my side, the source of my strength
Helping to turn the tide…

I fell in love again with the same woman the third time
Looming from the battle her courage will never fade.
Amidst the hardships she has remained
Undaunted and unafraid She is calm and composed.
She is God's lovely maid.

I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE (With the Same Woman Three Times)
Words by Ninoy Aquino
Sung by Jose Mari Chan

If a woman can inspire such a beautiful song like this, it's no wonder how great this woman is.

To the woman who inspired this poem and song, we are truly honored that you became our leader, a woman whom we can always look up to in every aspect of life - be it in politics, family life, religion... You did not only empower the Philippines during one of its most turbulent times, you have also inspired women like us to do great things for our country and for our people. Madame President Corazon Aquino, thank you very much. May you rest in peace.
