13.IF

If a picture paints a thousand words

Then why I can't paint you?

The words will never show

the you I've come to know

If a face could launch a thousand ships

Then where am I to go?

There's no one home but you

You're all that's left me too

And when my love for life is running dry

You come and pour yourself on me


If a man could be two places at one time

I'd be with you

Tomorrow and today

Beside you all the way

If the world should stop revolving

Spinning slowly down to die

I'd spend the end with you

And when the world was through

Then one by one the stars would all go out

And you and I would simply fly away


如果一幅畫裡有千言萬語

為何我卻畫不出你

千言萬語也無法描述 我所認識的你

如果美貌能使千百艘船啟航(註)

那我該前往何處

在我心中只有你 你是我心中的唯一

當我對生命的愛日漸乾涸

你將自己灌注於我


如果一個人分身有術 我願與你同在

無論今日明日 我將永伴你身旁

如果世界停止轉動 緩慢停止直到毀滅

我會陪你到最後

當世界已經結束 繁星一顆顆的熄滅

你我將雙宿雙飛


註:

「If a face could launch a thousand ships」這段歌詞,是引用

《荷馬史詩》裡頭,特洛伊戰爭裡面海倫(Helen)的故事。

大致就是說因為海倫的美貌,才發動這次的戰爭(所以歌詞

才會寫道,有千百艘船起航)。
