It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air
See the lights, see the party, the ballgowns
See you make your way to the crowd
And say hello, little did I know
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet!"
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go
And I said,
"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes"
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet, 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes, escape this town for a little while
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet!"
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go
And I said,
"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes
Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes"
I got tired of waiting,
wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you was fading,
when I met you on the outskirts of town
And I said,
"Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think"
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said,
"Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story, baby, just say yes"
We were both young when I first saw you
Here I am - this is me
There's no where else on Earth I'd rather be
Here I am - it's just me and you
And tonight we make our dreams come true
It's a new world - it's a new start
It's alive with the beating of - young hearts
It's a new day - it 's a new plan
I've been waiting for you
Here I am
Here we are - we've just begun
And after all this time - our time has come
Ya here we are - still goin' strong
Right here in the place where we belong
It's a new world - it's a new start
It's alive with the beating of - young hearts
It's a new day - it 's a new plan
I've been waiting for you
Here I am
Here I am - this is me
There's no where else on Earth I'd rather be
Here I am - it's just me and you
And tonight we make our dreams come true
It's a new world - it's a new start
It's alive with the beating of - young hearts
It's a new day - it 's a new plan
I've been waiting for you
It's a new world - it's a new start
It's alive with the beating of - young hearts
It's a new day - it 's a new plan
I've been waiting for you
Here I am - next to you
And suddenly the world is all brand new
Here I am - where I'm gonna stay
Now there's nothin standin in our way
Here I am - this is me
everyone behaves in his way, that's him, not others
The Way We Were
-- Barbra Streisand
Memories
light the corners of my mind
misty water color memories
of the way we were
scattered pictures
of the smiles we left behind
smiles we gave to one another
for the way we were
can't it be that it was all so simple then
or has time rewritten every line
and if we had the chance to do it all again
tell me would we, could we
memories
maybe beautiful and yet
what's too painful to remember
we simply choose to forget
so it's the laughter
we will remember
whenever we remember
the way we were
the way we were
Oh I do believe
In all the things you say
What comes is better than what came before
And you'd better come come, come come to me
Better come come, come come to me
Better run, run run, run run to me
Better come
Oh I do believe
In all the things you say
What comes is better that what came before
And you'd better run run, run run to me
Better run, run run, run run to me
Better come, come come, come come to me
You'd better run
I’am not lovin you, the way I wanted to
What I had to do , had to run from you
I’am in love with you, but the vibe is wrong
And that haunted me, all the way home
So ya never know, never never know
Never know enough, till its over love
Till we lose control, system overload
Scream in no no no , no no
I aint lovin you, the way I wanted to
See I wanna move, but cant escape from you
So I keep it low, keep a secret code
So everybody else don't have to know
Keep ya love locked down,ya love locked down
Keep ya love locked down,ya love locked down
Keep ya love locked down,ya love locked down
You keep ya love locked down, you lose
I am not lovin you ,the way I wanted to
I cant keep my cool, so I keep it true
I got something to lose, so I gotta move
I cant keep myself, and still keep you too
So I keep in mind , when I am on my own
Somewhere far from home, in the danger zone
Any times did it take till I finally got through
You lose. You lose
I aint lovin you, the way I wanted to
See I had to go, see I had to go
No more wastein time, we cant wait for life
Which is wastin time, wheres the finish life
Keep ya love locked down,ya love locked down
Keep ya love locked down,ya love locked down
Keep ya love locked down,ya love locked down
You keep ya love locked down, you lose
I am not lovin you ,the way I wanted to
I met no one new , I got no one new
No I said in through ,but got love for you
But in not lovin you, the way o wanted to
Gotta keep it going, keep the lovin going
Keep it on a roll ,only god knows
Am I into you, baby in confused
You choose ,you choose
I am not lovin you ,the way I wanted to
Way I got to go ,I don't need you
I been on this road, too many times before
I am not lovin you ,the way I wanted to
Keep ya love locked down,ya love locked down
Keep ya love locked down,ya love locked down
Keep ya love locked down,ya love locked down
You keep ya love locked down, you lose
Keep ya love locked down,ya love locked down
Keep ya love locked down,ya love locked down
Keep ya love locked down,ya love locked down
You keep ya love locked down, you lose
every night i find it's so hard to sleep
'cause i keep thinking of you
and these feelings run deep
oh baby i try to hide
all these feelings for you
i keep them battled inside
i don't know what else to do
so i cry and nobody hears me
i cry,it's my only solution
i cry,to all this confusion
i cry, with all of my heart
i cry…
sometimes i wonder
in the blink of my eye
would you be willing to love me
would you give it a try
i don't know how else to show you
that our love could be real
i'd be eternally faithfull
forever i'd feel
so i cry and nobody hears me
i cry,it's my only solution
i cry,to all this confusion
i cry, with all of my heart
i cry…
no one can tell me that i may be wrong
'cause i know in my heart
this feeling's still burning strong
can't get you out of my head
can't get you out of my heart
can't get you out of my life
no matter if we're apart
so i cry and nobody hears me
i cry,it's my only solution
i cry,to all this confusion
i cry, with all of my heart
i cry…
She put him out like the burnin′ end of a midnight cigarette 她扑灭他的爱 像熄灭午夜尽头燃烧的烟蒂
She broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin′ to forget 她伤了他的心 成就他毕生难以释怀的伤痛
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time 我们望着他 饮尽悲伤 一次一次 一点一滴
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind 但他无法让自己 足够沉醉 以至将她遗忘
Until the night 直到 那个夜晚
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger 他端起酒瓶饮颈而下 并对着自己扣响了扳机
And finally drank away her memory 终于将属于她的记忆全部喝完
Life is short but this time it was bigger 生命短暂 这一次却如此强大
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees 超越了他仰赖着立足于世的力量
We found him with his face down in the pillow 我们终于找到他 他却已将自己深深埋在枕头里
With a note that said I′ll love her till I die 临别遗言 一纸短笺：我爱她直至生命结束
And when we buried him beneath the willow 当我们将他下葬 合上了柳木棺盖
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby 天使们唱起 威士忌安魂曲
lala lala
(Sing lullaby)
The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself 流言飞传 但没有人知道 她心里无限的自责
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath 年复一年 她试图隐藏 那已融入呼吸的威士忌味道
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time 她终于饮尽悲伤 一次一次 一点一滴
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind 但她无法让自己 足够沉醉 以至将他遗忘
Until the night 直到 那个夜晚
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger 她端起酒瓶饮颈而下 并对着自己扣响了扳机
And finally drank away his memory 终于将属于他的记忆全部喝完
Life is short but this time it was bigger 生命短暂 这一次却如此强大
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees 超越了她仰赖着立足于世的力量
We found her with her face down in the pillow 我们终于找到了她 她却已将自己深深埋在枕头里
Clinging to his picture for dear life 临别陪伴 一张他的照片 纪念这珍贵一生
We laid her next to him beneath the willow 当我们将她下葬 紧挨着他 合上了柳木棺盖
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby 天使们 又唱起 威士忌安魂曲
lala lala
Say you're sorry
That face of an angel
Comes out just when you need it to
As I paced back and forth all this time
Cause I honestly believed in you
Holding on
The days drag on
Stupid girl,
I should have known, I should have known
[Chorus]
That I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet,
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town,
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it's too late for you
And your White horse, to come around
Maybe I was naive,
Got lost in your eyes
And never really had a chance
My mistake, I didn’t know to be in love
You had to fight to have the upper hand
I had so many dreams about you and me
Happy endings, now I know
[Chorus]
That I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet,
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town,
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it's too late for you
And your white horse, to come around
And there you are on your knees,
Begging for forgiveness, begging for me
Just like I always wanted but I'm sooo sorry
Cause I'm not your princess, this ain't a fairytale
I'm gonna find someone someday who might actually treat me well
This is a big world, that was a small town
There in my rearview mirror disappearing now
And its too late for you and your white horse
Now its too late for you and your white horse, to catch me now
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
Try and catch me now
Oh, it's too late
To catch me now
