我知曉你對我的期盼和幻想
Ive been so many places in my life and time
是我最渴望成為的樣子
Ive sung a lot of songs
我待你不善
Ive made some bad rhymes
但是吾愛，你知道嗎？
Ive acted out my life on stages
這世間沒有比你更為重要的人
With ten thousand people watching
寶貝，你難道還沒看破我嗎？
But were alone now
因為我們此刻孑然一身
And Im singing this song to you
而我正向你演唱這首歌曲
I know your image of me
你教導我的那些關於真愛的寶貴秘密
Is what I hoped to be
在我們窮困潦倒時
I treated you unkindly
你在我躲藏時站出來承擔一切
But darling , cant you see?
現在我好多了
Theres no one more important to me
假如我詞不達意
Baby, cant you see through me?
請細聽旋律
Cause were alone now
我對你的愛就藏於其中
And Im singing this song to you
我對你的傾慕
You taught me precious secrets
可以忽略時空
Of a true love while holding nothing
我用一生去愛慕你
You came out in front when I was hiding
不只因你是我的摯友
But now Im so much better
當我的生命走到盡頭
And if my words dont come together
請記住我們曾在一起過
Listen to the melody
我們曾經煢煢孑立
Cuz my love is in there hiding
而我正向你演唱這首歌曲
I love you in a place
我對你的傾慕
Where theres no space or time
可以忽略時空
I love you for my life
我用一生去愛慕你
Cuz you re a friend of mine
不只因你是我的摯友
And when my life is over
當我的生命走到盡頭
Remember when we were together
請記住我們曾在一起過
We were alone
我們曾經煢煢孑立，而我正向你演唱這首歌曲
And I was singing this song to you
我們曾經孑然一身
I love you in a place
而我正向你演唱這首歌曲
Where theres no space or time
我們曾經形單影只
I love you for my life
而我正向你演唱這首歌曲
Cuz you re a friend of mine
此歌為你而唱
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song to you
We were alone
And I was singing this song to you
We were alone
And I was singing this song
Singing this song to you
