歌词
She was 19 with a baby on the way
她那时19岁 孩子即将出生
On the east-side of the city she was working every day
在城东没日没夜地干活
Cleaning dishes in the evening she could barely stay awake
晚上刷碗 她几乎昏昏欲睡
She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was going to change
她坚信她总有一天会熬出头
And, across town she'd take the bus at night to a one bedroom apartment
深夜 她坐着巴士穿过小镇回到她的单间
And then she'd turn on the light
把灯点着后
She would sit down at the table
她会坐在桌旁
Tell herself that it's alright
告诉自己一切都很好
She was waiting on the day that she hoped her baby would arrive
她期盼着孩子出生的那一刻
She'd never be alone
她永远都不会孑然一身
Have someone to hold
永远都会有一个拥抱在等她
And when night's were cold she'd say
长夜漫漫中她说
The world's not perfect but it's not that bad
这世界没那么完美 但也没那么糟糕
If we got each other and that's all we have
只要有彼此 就是拥有了整个世界
I will be your mother and hold your hand
我会作为你的母亲 紧紧抓住你的手
You should know I will be there for you
你要知道我永远会在你身旁
And the world's not perfect
当这世界没那么完美时
When the world's not kind

If we have each other then we'll both be fine
只要有彼此 就能突破重重难关
I will be your mother and hold your hand

They were 90 and were living out their days on the West-side of the city next to where they got engaged
他们那时90岁 住在城西 与他们订婚的地方毗邻
They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they made
他们的墙上挂满回忆
And their life was never easy they were thankful that they stayed
尽管生活并非一帆风顺 他们依旧感恩能与对方相濡以沫
With each other and though some times were hard
而且尽管还有更艰难的时刻
Even when she made him angry he would never break her heart
甚至她激怒了他 他也从未让她伤心
And they didn't have the money to afford a fancy car
他们没有豪车
But they never had to travel because they would never be apart
但他们从不需要远行 因为他们就是彼此的风景
Even at the end their love was stronger then the day that they first met
直到生命的尽头 他们的爱比他们邂逅时更为坚定
They'd say

你要知道我永远会在你身旁
你要知道我永远会在你身旁
You should know I will be there for you
我今年23岁 父母日渐衰老
I'm 23 and my folks are getting old
我明白他们不可能永远陪伴我 而我又害怕孤独
I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone
所以我非常感激我的姐姐 尽管我们有时难免打打闹闹
So I'm thankful for my sister even though sometimes we fight
多亏她 我熬过了艰难的高中时光
When high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survived
我知道她永远都不会抛弃我
I know she'd never leave me
而我不愿看到她哭泣
And I hate to see her cry
因此我写下这句歌词 让她知道我永远在她身旁
So I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
我写下这句歌词让她知道我永远在她身旁
I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
我写下这句歌词让她知道
I wrote this verse to tell her that
这世界没那么完美 但也没那么糟糕
The world's not perfect but it's not that bad
只要有彼此 就是拥有了整个世界
If we got each other and that's all we have
我会作为你的弟弟 紧紧抓住你的手
I will be your brother and hold your hand
你要知道我永远会在你身旁
You should know I will be there for you
当这世界没那么完美时
And the world's not perfect
当这世界没那么友好时
When the world's not kind
只要有彼此 就能突破重重难关
If we have each other then we'll both be fine
我会作为你的弟弟 紧紧抓住你的手
I will be your brother and hold your hand
你要知道我永远会在你身旁
You should know I will be there for you
你要知道我永远会在你身旁
You should I know I will be there for you
