It must have been cold there in my shadow

to never have sunlight on your face

You were content to let me shine that''s your way

You always walked a step behind

So I was the one with all the glory

while you were the one with all the strain

A beautiful face without a name for so long

A beautiful smile to hide the pain

Did you ever know that you''re my hero

展开全文

and everything I would like to be

I can fly higher than an eagle

for you are the wind beneath my wings

It might have appeared to go unnoticed

but I''ve got it all here in my heart

I want you to know I know the truth of course I

know it

I would be nothing without you

Did you ever know that you''re my hero

You''re everything I wish I could be

I could fly higher than an eagle

for you are the wind beneath my wings

Did I ever tell you you''re my hero

You''re everything, everything I wish I could be

Oh and I I could fly higher than an eagle

for you are the wind beneath my wings

''cause you are the wind beneath my wings

Oh the wind beneath my wings

You you you you are the wind beneath my wings

Fly fly fly away You let me fly so high

Oh you you you the wind beneath my wings

Oh you you you the wind beneath my wings

Fly fly fly high against the sky

so high I almost touch the sky

Thank you thank you

thank God for you the wind beneath my wings

You are appreciated...

When i was young, me and my mama had beef

17 years old kicked out on tha streets

Though back in tha time, i never thought i'd see her face

Ain't a woman alive that can take my momma's place

Suspended from school, scared ta go home

I was a fool with tha big boys breaking all tha rules

Shed tears with my baby sister

Over tha years we wuz poorer than tha other little kids

And even though we had different daddies

Tha same drama when things went wrong we blamed mama

I reminised on tha stress i caused, it wuz hell

Hugg'en on my mama from a jail cell

And who'ed think in elementary, heeeey i'd see tha penitentiary

One day

Running from tha police, that's right

Momma catch me--put a whoop'en to my backside

And even as a crack fiend mama,

Ya always was a black queen mama

I finally understand for a woman

It ain't easy--trying ta raise a man

Ya always wuz commited, a poor single mother on welfare,

Tell me how ya did it

There's no way i can pay ya back

But tha plan is ta show ya that i understand.

You are appreciated......

Laaaaady, don't cha know we luv ya

Sweeeet laaaady, place no one above ya

Sweeeet laaaady, don't cha know we luv ya

Ain't nobody tell us it wuz fair

No luv for my daddy, cause tha coward wuzn't there

He passed away and i didn't cry

Cause my anger, wouldn't let me feel for a stranger

They say i'm wrong and i'm heartless

But all along i wuz looking for a father--he wuz gone

I hung around with tha thug's and even though they sold drugs

They showed a young brother luv

I moved out and started really hang'in

I needed money of my own so i started slang'in

I ain't guilty cause, even though i sell rocks

It feels good, putting money in your mailbox

I love paying rent when tha rents due

I hope ya got tha diamond necklace that i sent to you

Cause when i wuz low, you was there for me

Ya never left me alone, cause ya cared for me

And i can see ya coming home after work late

Ya in tha kitchen trying ta fix us a hot plate

Just working with tha scraps you wuz given

And mama made miracles every thanksgiving

But now tha road got rough, your alone

Trying ta raise two bad kids on your own

And there's no way i can pay ya back

But my plan is ta show ya that i understand

You are appreciated.....

Laaaaady, don't cha know we luv ya

Sweeeet laaaady, place no one above ya

Sweeeet laaaady, don't cha know we luv ya

Pour out some liquor and i remenise

Cause through tha drama, i can always depend on my mama

And when it seems that i'm hopeless

You say tha words that can get me back in focus

When i wuz sick as a little kid

Ta keep me happy theres no limit to tha things ya did

And all my childhood memories

Are full of all tha sweet things ya did for me

And even though i act craaaazy

I got ta thank tha lord that ya maaaade me

There are no words that can express how i feel

Ya never kept a secret, always stayed real

And i appreciate how ya raised me

And all tha extra love that ya gave me

I wish i could take tha pain away

If you can make it through tha night, there's a brighter day

Everything'll be alright if ya hold on

It's a struggle

Everyday gotta roll on

And there's no way i can pay ya back

But my plan is ta show ya that i understand

You are appreciated.......

Laaaaady, don't cha know we luv ya

Sweeeet laaaady, place no one above ya

Sweeeet laaaady, don't cha know we luv ya, sweeeet laaaady

Laaaady...

Madness--Our House

Father wears his Sunday best

Mother's tired she needs a rest

The kids are playing up downstairs

Sister's sighing in her sleep

Brother's got a date to keep

He can't hang around

Our house, in the middle of our street

Our house, in the middle of our ...

Our house it has a crowd

There's always something happening

And it's usually quite loud

Our mum she's so house-proud

Nothing ever slows her down

And a mess is not allowed

Our house, in the middle of our street

Our house, in the middle of our ...

Our house, in the middle of our street

Something tells you that you've got to get away from it

Our house, in the middle of our ...

Father gets up late for work

Mother has to iron his shirt

Then she sends the kids to school

Sees them off with a small kiss

She's the one they're going to miss

In lots of ways

Our house, in the middle of our street

Our house, in the middle of our ...

I remember way back then when everything was true and when

We would have such a very good time such a fine time

Such a happy time

And I remember how we'd play simply waste the day away

Then we'd say nothing would come between us two dreamers

Father wears his Sunday best

Mother's tired she needs a rest

The kids are playing up downstairs

Sister's sighing in her sleep

Brother's got a date to keep

He can't hang around

Our house, in the middle of our street

Our house, in the middle of our street

Our house, in the middle of our street

Our house, in the middle of our ...

Our house, was our castle and our keep

Our house, in the middle of our street

Our house, that was where we used to sleep

Our house...

A thousand dreams you gave to me

You held me high, you held me high

And all those years you guided me

So I could find my way

How long your love had sheltered me

You held me high, you held me high

A harbor holding back the sea

So I could find my way

So let me give this dream to you

Upon another shore

So let me give this dream to you

Each night and ever more

Yet only time keeps us apart

You held me high, you held me high

Your endless shadows hold my heart

So I could find my way

You held me high, you held me high

So let me give this dream to you

Upon another shore

So let me give this dream to you

Each night and ever more

A thousand dreams you gave to me

You held me high, you held me high

And all those years you guided me

So I could find my way

So I could find my way

布莱克·谢尔顿 《婴儿》

My brother said that I

was rotten to the core.

I was the youngest child,

so I got by with more.

I guess she was tired by

the time I came along.

She'd laugh until she cried,

I could do no wrong.

She would always save me,

because I was her baby.

I worked a factory in Ohio,

a shrimp boat in the Bayou,

I drove a truck in Birmingham.

Turned 21 in Cincinnati,

I called home to mom and daddy,

I said "Your boy is now a man."

She said "I don't care if you're 80,

you'll always be my baby."

Pray God you can cope.

I stand outside this woman's work,

This woman's world.

Ooh, it's hard on the man,

Now his part is over.

Now starts the craft of the father.

I know you have a little life in you yet.

I know you have a lot of strength left.

I know you have a little life in you yet.

I know you have a lot of strength left.

I should be crying, but I just can't let it show.

I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking.

Of all the things I should've said,

That I never said.

All the things we should've done,

That we never did.

All the things I should've given,

But I didn't.

Oh, darling, make it go,

Make it go away.

Give me these moments back.

Give them back to me.

Give me that little kiss.

Give me your hand.

(I know you have a little life in you yet.

I know you have a lot of strength left.

I know you have a little life in you yet.

I know you have a lot of strength left.)

I should be crying, but I just can't let it show.

I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking

Of all the things we should've said,

That were never said.

All the things we should've done,

That we never did.

All the things that you needed from me.

All the things that you wanted for me.

All the things that I should've given,

But I didn't.

Oh, darling, make it go away.

Just make it go away now.
