ARTIST PROFILE
Eric started singing in a choir when he was 10 years old. He has been inspired by the songs of Martin Nievera and Barry Manilow but he is still exploring and developing his own singing style. His biggest achievement so far was performing the lead role in a stage musical and he would like to continue to pursue that artistic direction. Eric’s ambition is to be a recording artist someday, interpreting new songs that would reflect each person’s ambitions, emotions, and life. Eric is also a songwriter and acts in stage plays. He spent four years of his life in the seminary. “My love for music started there. My every performance will always be inspired by the One who Sits Above,” according to Eric.
Lyrics
Ngayong Pasko
(Kenneth Macapugay)
I
Lumalalim ang gabi
Dama ang simoy ng hangin
Na humahalik sa aking pisngi
II
Halos bawat simbang gabi
Sa upuan tayo ay magkatabi
Pagkakataong di palalampasin
Pre-Chorus:
Ito na ang tamang panahon
Dalangin ko’y malaman mo
Pagsapit ng Pasko
Chorus:
Ahaa Ngayong Pasko
Pag-ibig mo ang nais ko
Ahaa Ngayong Pasko
Ikaw lang ang pangarap ko
III
May liwanag ang iyong ngiti
Tulad ng mga bituin sa langit
At mga parol sa paligid ay bumabati
IV
Hiling ko sana’y pakinggan
Walong gabi na ang nilalaan
Ang himala kaya ngayon na makakamtan
Pre-Chorus:
Ito na ang tamang panahon
Dalangin ko’y malaman mo
Pagsapit ng Pasko
Chorus:
Ahaa Ngayong Pasko
Pag-ibig mo ang nais ko
Ahaa Ngayong Pasko
Ikaw lang ang pangarap ko
Ahaa Ngayong Pasko
Pag-ibig mo ang nais ko
Ahaa Ngayong Pasko
Ikaw lang ang pangarap ko
