As Long As You're There by Charice on Glee

The cast of Glee headed to New York in the season 2 finale (episode 22) to compete in the Nationals entitled “New York”. (note: spoilers begin here.) The rivalry between Rachel (Lea Michele) and Sunshine Corazon (Charice) rears its ugly head again. In the ladies room, Rachel runs into an upchucking Sunshine Corazon, who reveals that her nerves are weighing on her: singing used to relax her, but the pressures of performing in Vocal Adrenaline have changed all that. Rachel refuses to believe her, anticipating a psyche-out, but Sunshine wants to know why Rachel hates her so much – she’d heard that New Directions welcomed outcasts, but Rachel was the only one who didn’t make her feel safe there. Sunshine plans to flee to the Philippines Embassy and revoke her passport, believing it’s her only chance to escape Vocal Adrenaline.

Rachel admits that she hated Sunshine because she was good, and she urges her to stay in the competition, promising to support her from the audience when she gets nervous. Vocal Adrenaline takes the Nationals stage and, after a thumbs up from Rachel, Sunshine leads her show choir in the original song “As Long As You’re There,” drawing a standing ovation from the audience.

You can get the song on As Long As You're There (Glee Cast Version) - As Long As You're There (Glee Cast Version) - Single and pick up Glee season 2 episode 22 (finale) on New York - Glee, Season 2

Previously, Charice made a couple other appearances on Glee Season 2 including episode 1 where she sang a duet with Lea Michele and episode 17 where she sang All by Myself.

Lyrics to As Long As You’re There by Charice from Glee

Hmm
Mmm
All my life
I’ve waited for the right
Moment to let you know
I don’t wanna let you go oh

But now I’ve realized
There’s just no perfect time
To confess how I feel
This much I know is real

So I refuse to
Waste one more second without you
Knowing my heart

Baby cause I don’t
Need anything else but your love
Nothing but you means a thing to me
I’m incomplete

When you’re not there
Holding me, touching me, I swear
All of the rest could just disappear
And I wouldn’t even care
As long as you’re there

Take these words
Don’t let them go unheard
This is me reaching out
I hope you can hear it now

Cause baby my heart’s at stake
Take it
It’s yours to break

I’d rather try and lose
Than keep this love from you
Yeaah

So I refuse to
Waste one more second
Without you
Knowing my heart

Baby cause I don’t
Need anything else but your love
Nothing but you means a thing to me
I’m incomplete

When you’re not there
Holding me touching me I swear
All of the rest could just disappear
And I wouldn’t even care
As long as you’re there

Each day and night
That I’ve kept this a secret
It’d killed me
It’s time
To share what I feel inside

Sunshine with Vocal Adrenaline:
I don’t
Need anything else but your love
Nothing but you means a thing to me
I’m incomplete

When you’re not there
Holding me touching me I swear
All of the rest could just disappear
And I wouldn’t even care
As long as you’re there
(Vocal Adrenaline: As long as you’re there)
As long as you’re there

    I have been to DF concert and experienced watching Charice live. She is really a talented singer and I was really amazed by her voice. I also got a chance of seing her at the meet and greet. She’s so pretty and very nice to her fans. From then on I usually listen to most of her songs. It really lift your spirit. I also downloaded her new songs. Worth every penny. Cant wait for her new CD.
