Michael Jackson > You Are My Life 

You Are My Life > Song

Once all alone

I was lost in a world of strangers

No one to trust

On my own, I was lonely

You suddenly appeared

It was cloudy before

Now it's all clear

You took away the fear

And you brought me back to the light

 [Chorus]

You are the sun

You make me shine

Or more like the stars

That twinkle at night

You are the moon

That glows in my heart

You are my daytime my nighttime

My world

You are my life

Now I wake up everyday

With this smile upon my face

No more tears, no more pain

‘Cause you love me

You help me understand

That love is the answer

to all that I am

And I'm a better man

Since you taught me by sharing your love 

 [Chorus]

You gave me strength

When I wasn't strong

You gave me hope when

All hope was lost

You opened my eyes

When I couldn't see

Love was always here

Waiting for me

Typhoon floodwaters kill more than 450 in Philippines

           REPORTING FROM SEOUL -- More than 450 people were killed Saturday in the southern Philippines after a tropical storm devastated two coastal cities with flash flooding that drowned victims in their sleep and drove others to rooftops.

        Authorities said that Tropical Storm Washi struck the northern coast of Mindanao Island with heavy rains in a region not accustomed to typhoons, causing rivers to burst their banks, sweeping many residents out to sea. Officials say more than 300 people are missing.

The cities of Iligan and Cagayan de Oro were transformed into mud-filled waterways choked with vehicles and downed trees, Philippine army officials said.

Officials said many victims were asleep when floodwaters poured down off mountainsides following the late-season tropical storm. Rescuers in boats rushed offshore to save people swept out to sea, and more than 10,000 national troops rushed to the scene.

Ayi Hernandez, a former congressman, told the Associated Press that he and his family were resting in their home in Cagayan de Oro late Friday when they heard a loud "swooshing sound" and water quickly rose ankle-deep inside, driving him to a neighbor's two-story house.

"It was a good thing, because in less than an hour the water rose to about 11 feet," filling his home  to the ceiling, he said.

 As many as 215 died in Cagayan de Oro -- a city of 500,000 residents, and 144 in nearby Iligan, with 300,000 inhabitants, according to the Philippine Red Cross. Others died in several other southern and central provinces.

Many of the bodies were unclaimed after nearly 24 hours, suggesting that entire families had died in a storm that dumped more than a month's worth of average rains in just 12 hours, officials said.

Philippines television showed a man floating in an inner tube in muddy water littered with plastic buckets, pieces of wood and other debris. Elsewhere, nearly a dozen people stood on the sloping roof of one home, waiting for rescuers as water flooded the lower floors.

Benito Ramos, chief of the government's Civil Defense Office, told reporters that the high casualty rate in Mindanao was due “partly to the complacency of people because they are not in the usual path of storms,” despite four days of warnings that one was approaching.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said in a statement that the Obama administration offered "deepest condolences" for the devastation in the southern Philippines and was prepared to assist authorities.
