Lea Salonga is an epitome of class and finesse when it comes to singing and interpretation of the song. She stands on stage as a world class singer. She is the pride of the Ph titlilippines and no one can ever upset that title she holds. Mabuhay LEA and may your little girl follow your footsteps!

I remember the first time I saw Lea on stage in a musical in the Philippines. She played Annie in "Little Orphan Annie", and I remember wanting to sing like her since we were close in age. She's been such an inspiration for music lovers - particularly Broadway show tunes. :)
Think of me, think of me fondly When we've said goodbye Remember me, once in a while Please, promise me you'll try When you find that once again you long To take your heart back and be free If you ever find a moment Spare a thought for me We never said "our love was evergreen" Or "as unchanging as the sea" But if you can still remember, Stop and think of me Think of all the things We've shared and seen Don't think about the things which might have been Think of me, think of me waking Silent and resigned Imagine me trying too hard To put you from my mind Recall those days, look back on all those times Think of the things we'll never do There will never be a day When I won't think of... Only you have the power to move me And together we'll make the whole world move in sympathy But I could see before Only you have the power to move me Take me, hold me, mold me Change me and improve me It's not funny any more There was I wondering why Every disappeared into the distance Now with you the light is shining through You gave me life not just existence Only you have the power to move me And together we'll make the whole world move in sympathy Only you have the power to move me. Nothing is so good it lasts eternally Perfect situations must go wrong But this has never yet prevented me Wanting far too much for far too long. Looking back I could have played it differently Won a few more moments who can tell But it took time to understand the man Now at least I know I know him well Wasn't it good? Wasn't he fine? Isn't it madness He can't be mine? But in the end he needs A little bit more than me More security I know him so well. No one in your life is with you constantly No one is completely on your side And though I move my world to be with him Still the gap between us is too wide. Looking back I could Have played it differently Learned about the man Before I fell But I was Ever so much younger then Now at least I know I know him well Wasn't it good? Wasn't he fine? Isn't it madness He won't be mine? Didn't I know How it would go? If I knew from the start Why am I falling apart? Isn't it madness He won't be mine? But in the end he needs a Little bit more than me More security I know him so well I know him so well. On my own Pretending he's beside me All alone I walk with him till morning Without him I feel his arms around me And when I lose my way I close my eyes And he has found me In the rain the pavement shines like silver All the lights are misty in the river In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight And all I see is him and me forever and forever And I know it's only in my mind That I'm talking to myself and not to him And although I know that he is blind Still I say, there's a way for us I love him But when the night is over He is gone The river's just a river Without him The world around me changes The trees are bare and everywhere The streets are full of strangers I love him But every day I'm learning All my life I've only been pretending Without me His world will go on turning A world that's full of happiness That I have never known I love him I love him I love him But only on my own.
She truly is amazing isn't she? I was so happy that she played Kim. I was so inspired that I auditioned for Kim in the Japanese production. I dot through first cuts but ultimately didn't make it. :P Ah well.
Sooo elated to find this video of my Queen Lea🥰👵🏼You are just amazing and thank you for sharing your gifts with the world❤️🇺🇸🇵🇭May God continue blessing you with good health and keeping you safe🙏🙏🙏
@pritemreeves i agree with you...of all her concerts,her voice here is just pure and crystal clear....however now,still is beautiful tho,but can hear some notches down...i love her!
The Les Mis 10th anniversary was filmed in October 1995 and the movie Sana Maulit Muli came out in August 1995. (Lea mentions having done the film and sings the song.) Lea has always looked so youthful - there are many years where it's practically impossible to tell how old she is or what year a performance comes from!
Oh my gosh! You saw her when she was in her first lead role? That's so cool! She IS an inspiration. I wish I could sing like her too. :) :) :) She is just amazing.

Think of me, think of me fondly
When we've said goodbye
Remember me, once in a while
Please, promise me you'll try
When you find that once again you long
To take your heart back and be free
If you ever find a moment
Spare a thought for me
We never said "our love was evergreen"
Or "as unchanging as the sea"
But if you can still remember,
Stop and think of me
Think of all the things
We've shared and seen
Don't think about the things
which might have been
Think of me, think of me waking
Silent and resigned
Imagine me trying too hard
To put you from my mind
Recall those days, look back on all those times
Think of the things we'll never do
There will never be a day
When I won't think of...
Only you have the power to move me
And together we'll make the whole world move in sympathy
But I could see before
Only you have the power to move me
Take me, hold me, mold me
Change me and improve me
It's not funny any more
There was I wondering why
Every disappeared into the distance
Now with you the light is shining through
You gave me life not just existence
Only you have the power to move me
And together we'll make the whole world move in sympathy
Only you have the power to move me.
Nothing is so good it lasts eternally
Perfect situations must go wrong
But this has never yet prevented me
Wanting far too much for far too long.
Looking back I could have played it differently
Won a few more moments who can tell
But it took time to understand the man
Now at least I know I know him well
Wasn't it good?
Wasn't he fine?
Isn't it madness
He can't be mine?
But in the end he needs
A little bit more than me
More security
I know him so well.
No one in your life is with you constantly
No one is completely on your side
And though I move my world to be with him
Still the gap between us is too wide.
Looking back I could
Have played it differently
Learned about the man
Before I fell
But I was
Ever so much younger then
Now at least
I know I know him well
Wasn't it good?
Wasn't he fine?
Isn't it madness
He won't be mine?
Didn't I know
How it would go?
If I knew from the start
Why am I falling apart?
Isn't it madness
He won't be mine?
But in the end he needs a
Little bit more than me
More security
I know him so well
I know him so well.
On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone
I walk with him till morning
Without him
I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
And he has found me
In the rain the pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever
And I know it's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myself and not to him
And although I know that he is blind
Still I say, there's a way for us
I love him
But when the night is over
He is gone
The river's just a river
Without him
The world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere
The streets are full of strangers
I love him
But every day I'm learning
All my life
I've only been pretending
Without me
His world will go on turning
A world that's full of happiness
That I have never known
I love him
I love him
I love him
But only on my own.
7:07 when I heard that cute little intro I got giddy with excitement. My favorite song coming up......ON MY OWN!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful! Her voice is so unbelievable. Absolutely beautiful and powerful! We need her back on stage.. soon!
She truly is amazing isn't she? I was so happy that she played Kim. I was so inspired that I auditioned for Kim in the Japanese production. I dot through first cuts but ultimately didn't make it. :P Ah well.

love u lea.......
That's awesome! Good for you! I love the song "Sun and Moon" from that play/musical or whatever you would call it
Brilliant.
Before I would think. She apppears younger in the Les Mis 10th anniversary
The Les Mis 10th anniversary was filmed in October 1995 and the movie Sana Maulit Muli came out in August 1995. (Lea mentions having done the film and sings the song.)

She enjoys what she is doing. And it shows in her singing :))
Tuyet voi!!!
Perfect!
he stood up because he was conducting the orchestra at that moment.. so they'll be synchronized..
7:50
She sings like a bird. Amazing!
Thanks for this!
she was and she also did Princess Jasmine in Aladdin
Wow. Is their any musical this woman cant do?
HAHAHAH THERE'S NONE...SORRY AHAHAHHA
Did she sang On my On in the Les Mis 10th anniversary concert before or after this?
honestly, at that time she wasnt so ready for the song "i know him so when"
.....ariel's voice= jodi benson's voice.
what year is this?
What year was this? anyone?
Mulan and Jasmine
anyone noticed that the pianist was so engrossed, he actually got up from his seat at the climax of the song?
BECAUSE THE SINGER IS THAT BRILLIANT!
What did she do for Disney?
Samuel Hill Lea Salonga is the singing voice of Princess Jasmine in Alladin & of Mulan in Mulan
I'm Lea's fan...but sometimes her outfit annoys me, lol!
