歌词
九岁那年
When I was nine
迈克和我
Michael and I
参加了基督教青年会的才艺比赛
Entered a talent show down at the Y
早上九点到某个楼梯旁排练
9 A.M., went to rehearse by some stairs
迈克不会唱歌
Mike couldn't sing
可我说“没人在意”
But I said, "No one cares"
我们唱了“黄鹂鸟”(The Brothers Four)和“一起去放风筝”(Mary Poppins)
We sang "Yellow Bird" and "Let's Go Fly A Kite"
一遍一遍又一遍
Over and over and over
直到唱得完美
'Til we got it right
当我们走出基督教青年会
When we emerged from the Y.M.C.A.
三点钟的阳光晒干了草地
Three o'clock sun had made the grass hay
我想，
I thought
嘿，这样度过一天多好
Hey, what a way to spend a day
嘿，这样度过一天多好
Hey, what a way to spend a day
此时此地
I make a vow
我许下诺言
Right here and now
我的余生都要这样度过
I'm gonna spend my time this way
十六岁那年
When I was sixteen
迈克和我
Michael and I
拿到了白原高中《西区故事》的角色
Got parts in Wеst Side at White Plains High
三点钟去体育馆排练
Three o'clock, went to rеhearse in the gym
迈克演医生，不用唱歌
Mike played "Doc", who did not sing
正适合他
Fine with him
我们唱“激情满满蓄势待发”
We sang, "Got a rocket in your pocket"
还有“飞机帮的出头之日就在今晚”
And "The Jets are gonna have their day, tonight"
一遍一遍又一遍
Over and over and over
直到唱得完美
'Til we got it right
当我们出来，因排戏筋疲力尽
When we emerged, wiped out by that play
九点钟的星晖月光照亮了归途
Nine o'clock, stars and moon lit the way
我想，
I thought
嘿，这样度过一天多好
Hey, what a way to spend a day
嘿，这样度过一天多好
Hey, what a way to spend a day
我许下诺言
I made a vow
但我不知现在
I wonder now
我是否适合这样度过余生
Am I cut out to spend my time this way?
二十九岁
I'm twenty-nine
迈克和我
Michael and I
住在纽约苏荷区西边
Live on the west side of SoHo, N.Y.
九点钟我写下一两段歌词
9 A.M., I write a lyric or two
迈克在麦街唱出了自己的歌
Mike sings his song now on Mad Avenue
我唱“清醒过来吧，”
I sing, "Come to your senses
“防备不是解决之道”
Defenses are not the way to go"
一遍一遍又一遍
Over and over and over
一遍一遍又一遍
And over, and over, and over, and over
直到唱的完美
'Til I get it right
当我从b小调或A调回过神
When I emerge from B Minor or A
五点钟餐厅来电，我就启程上班
Five o'clock, diner calls, "I'm on my way"
我想
I think
嘿，这样度过一天多好
Hey, what a way to spend a day
嘿，这样度过一天多好
Hey, what a way to spend a day
此时此地
I make a vow
我许下诺言
Right here and now
我的余生都要这样度过
I'm gonna spend my time this way
我的余生都要这样度过
I'm gonna spend my time this way
