My life is brilliant.
My life is brilliant.
(我前程似锦)
My love is pure.
(我的爱很纯洁无瑕)
I saw an angel.Of that I'm sure.
(我非常确信看到一个天使)
She smiled at me on the subway.
(在地铁上,她对著我微笑)
She was with another man.
(她跟别的男人在一起)
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
(可是我并不会就这样僵愣著)
'Cause I've got a plan.
(因为我有个计画)
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
(你是这样美丽,是真的!)
I saw your face in a crowded place,
(在拥挤的地方,我看见你的脸)
And I don't know what to do,
(而我不知道该怎麼做)
Cause I'll never be with you.
(因为我永远无法跟你在一起)
Yeah, she caught my eye,As we walked on by.
(走动之间,她掳获了我的目光)
She could see from my face that I was,
(从我脸上可看到我专注於她的样子)
Fucking high,(真爽)
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
(我不认为还能再次见到她)
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.
(但我们分享了那时刻,直到结束)
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
(你是这样美丽,是真的!)
I saw your face in a crowded place,
(在拥挤的地方,我看见你的脸)
And I don't know what to do,
(而我不知道该怎麼做)
'Cause I'll never be with you.
(因为我永远无法跟你在一起)
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la
laaaaaa (啦……………)
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
(在她脸上一定有个微笑的天使)
When she thought up that I should be with you.
(当她思索著…我应该跟你在一起)
But it's time to face the truth,
(然而是该面对事实的时候)
I will never be with you.
(我还是永远无法与你在一起)
Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.(2x)
I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.(2x)
And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bear my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.(2x)
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
[Verse 1]
I'm sitting here
Thinking bout
How I'm gonna do without
You around in my life and how am I
Gon' get by
Ain't got no days
Just lonely nights
You want the truth
Well girl I'm not alright
Feel out of place and out of time
I think I'm gonna lose my mind
[Chorus]
So tell me how you feel (I'm lonely)
Are you for real (so lonely)
Do you still think of me (I think of you)
Baby still (You only)
Do you dream of me at night (like I dream of you all the time)
So let me tell you how it feels (its like everyday I die)
Wish I was dreaming but its real (when I open up my eyes)
Let me tell you how it feels (and don't see your pretty face)
I think that I will never love again
[Verse 2]
I miss your face
I miss your kiss
I even miss the arguments
That we would have from time to time
I miss you standing by my side
I'm dying here its clear to see
There ain't no you, God knows there ain't no me
Don't wanna live, I wanna die
If I cant have you in my life
[Chorus (repeat till end)]
So tell me how you feel (I'm lonely)
Are you for real (so lonely)
Do you still think of me (I think of you)
Baby still (You only)
Do you dream of me at night (like I dream of you all the time, so lonely)
Oh let me tell you how it feels (its like everyday I die)
Wish I was dreaming but its real (when I open up my eyes)
Let me tell you how it feels (and don't see your pretty face)
I think that I will never love again

第6首推荐个老点的家伙的 来自Boyz II Men的End Of The Road.
对于这首歌 我只能说真TM的感人
【Boyz II Men】成立于1988年，其四个成员Shawn Stockman(1972.9.26--)、Wanya Morris(1973.7.29--)、Nathan Morris(1971.6.18--)以及Micheal McMary(1972.12.16--)都是费城音乐学校（the Creative & Performing Arts High School)的学生。当他们发现四个人的声音混和在一起要比一个人独唱悦耳得多的时候，他们走到了一起。
(Talking)
Girl you know we belong together
I don't have time for you to be playing with my heart like this
You'll be mine forever baby
You just wait
(Singing)
We belong together
And you know that I am right
Why do you play with my heart
Why do you play with my mind
Said we'd be forever
Said it'd never die
How could you love me and leave me and never
Say goodbye
When I can't sleep at night
Without holding you tight
Girl, each time I try I just break down and cry
Pain in my head
Oh, I'd rather be dead
Spinning around and around
(Chorus 2x)
Although we've come
To the end of the road
Still I can't let go
It's unnatural
You belong to me
I belong to you
Girl,
I know you really love me
You just don't realize
You've never been there before
It's only
Your first time
Maybe I'll forgive you
Maybe you'll try
We should be happy together forever
You and i
Will you love me again
Like you loved me before
This time I want you to love me much more
This time instead
Just come to my bed
And baby just don't let me go
Chorus
(Talking, except things in parentheses)
Girl, I'm here for you
All those time as night
When you just hurt me
And just ran out with that other fella
Baby I knew about it
I just didn't care
You just don't understand how much I love
Do you?
I'm here for you
I'm not about to go out on cheat you
Just like you did
But baby that's alright
I love you anyway
And I'm still going to be here with you until my dying day
Right now
I'm just in so much pain
Cuz you just won't come back to me
Will you?
Just come back to me
Yes baby, my heart is lonely
My heart hurts baby
Yes, I feel pain too
Baby please
(Back to singing)
This time instead just come to my bed
And baby just don't let me go
I just want you close
Where you can stay forever
You can be sure
That it will only get better
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I dont worry cause
Everythings gonna be alright
People keep talking
They can say what they like
But all I know is everything's gonna be alright
No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
You you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
When the rain is pouring down
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around
This I know for certain
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I dont worry cause
Everythings gonna be alright
People keep talking
They can say what they like
But all I know is everything's gonna be alright
No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
You you
Can get in the way of what I feel
I know some people search the world
To find something like what we have
I know people will try
Try to divide
Something so real
So till the end of time
Im telling you there ain'tno one
No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
oh oh oh....

this is for the people
who do understand
that it's all about
give and take and what you make
you'll get in the end
this is for the ladies
who don't give a damn
when the people say: "paint your face and keep your grace and stand by your man"
this is for the fellas
who do understand
it ain't all about
sex and drugs and money sucks
if you only pretend
bridge:
and when the lights go out today
i hope that you all get into what i say
there's nothing greater than human love
it is brought by nature or send from up above
