It's late in the evening
She's wondering what clothes to wear
She puts on her make-up
And brushes her long blonde hair
And then she asks me, "Do I look all right?"
And I say "Yes, you look wonderful tonight"
We go a party
And everyone turns to see
this beautiful lady that's walking around with me
And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?"
And I say "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight"
I feel wonderful
Because I see the love light in your eyes
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize how much I love you
It's time to go home now
And I've got an aching head
So I give her the car keys
And she helps me to bed
And then I tell her as I turn out the light
I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight"
你還記得我的名字嗎 Would you know my name
如果我們在天堂相遇 If I saw you in heaven
你與我有相同的感受嗎 Would it be the same
如果我們在天堂相遇 If I saw you in heaven
我必須堅強 I must be strong
獨自走我的人生路 And carry on
因為我知道 'Cause I know
我並不屬於你的世界 I don't belong here in heaven
你會牽著我的手嗎 Would you hold my hand
如果我們在天堂相遇 If I saw you in heaven
你會扶持我嗎 Would you help me stand
如果我們在天堂相遇 If I saw you in heaven
我相信終有一天 I'll find my way
我會走出這個陰影 Through night and day
因為我知道 'Cause I know
我並不屬於你的世界 I just can't stay here in heaven
時間能磨損我們的高傲 Time can bring you down
時間能令我們屈膝 Time can bend your knees
時間能令我們心碎 Time can break your heart
然而你會要求我嗎 Have you begging please
是否期盼我陪伴你 Begging please
越過這個關口 Beyond the door
我知道能獲得平靜 There's peace I'm sure
因為我相信 And I know
天堂終究不再有淚 There'll be no more tears in heaven
