ANGEL - JON SECADA
I, I can't read the future
But I still want to hold you close
Right now, I need that from you
So give me the morning
Sharing another day with you
Is all I want to know
And baby I, I've tried to forget you
But the light of your eyes
Still shines like an Angel
A spirit that won't let me go
And I, I didn't want to tell you
Things I didn't wanna know myself
I was afraid to show
But you, you gave me a reason
A reason to face the truth, oh yes you did
To face the truth, face the truth
Face the truth
And baby I, I've tried to forget you
But the light of your eyes
Still shines, shines, shines like an Angel
A spirit that won't let me go
Won't let me go, let go of my heart
And baby I, I've tried to forget you
But the light of your eyes
Still shines like an Angel
A spirit that won't let me go
Won't let me go, my Angel
一位在亞洲唱片服務的某張姓友人說:
「一群不試貨的女生,專輯裡Angel後面那首更好聽…」
就是這首 - 「Do You Believe In Us 」,
拉丁節奏鋪陳流暢旋律的風格之作。

DO YOU BELIEVE IN US? - JON SECADA
I tremble inside
Just thinking
About the world around us
Sacred, can't help to wonder
Don't want any changes
'Bout the feel
Do you know what I mean
Catch me I'm falling
Say it's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
I know that we belong
Do you believe in us
Just give it half a chance
Yes our love
Will still be strong
Girl, I believe in us
I'll give you all I can
Time has redefined the meaning of
Love, the way we know it
Love, the way we show it
I don't want any changes
When it comes to you
I like us the way it is
No matter what happens
Say it's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
I know that we belong
Do you believe in us
Just give it half a chance
Yes our love
Will still be strong
Girl I believe in us
I'll give you all I can
I don't want any changes
Unless you want them to
Forver ain't long enough, baby
Nothing canchange us
Say it's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
REPEAT CHORUS
最後介紹的是由Gloria Estefan推波助瀾
一起助唱的抒情佳作 -「Just Another Day」

JUST ANOTHER DAY -
JON SECADA & Gloria Estefan
Morning alone
When you come home
I breath a little faster
Every time we're together
It'd never be the same
If you're not here
How can you stay away, away so long.
Why can't we stay together
Give me a reason
Give me a reason.
Chorus
I, I don't wanna say it
I don't wanna find another way
Make it trough the day without you
It's just another day
Making the time
Find the right lines
What do I have to tell you
I'm just trying to hold on to something
(Trying to hold on to something good)
Give us a chance to make it.
Don't wanna hold on to never
I'm not that strong
I'm not that strong.
I, I don't wanna say it
I don't wanna find another way
Make it trough the day without you
I, I can't resist
Trying to find exactly what I miss
It's just another day without you.
Why can't you stay forever
Just give me a reason
Give me a reason.
Chorus repeats
