英文歌词
I know that you're hiding things
Using gentle words to shelter me
Your words were like a dream
But dreams could never fool me
Not that easily
I acted so distant then
Didn't say goodbye before you left
But I was listening
You'll fight your battles far from me
Far too easily
Save your tears cause I'll come back
I could hear that you whispered as you walked through that door
But still I swore to hide the pain when I turn back the pages
Shouting might have been the answer
What if I'd cried my eyes out and begged you not to depart
But now I'm not afraid to say what's in my heart
Though a thousand words have never been spoken
They'll fly to you
Crossing over the time and distance holding you
Suspended on silver wings
And a thousand words one thousand confessions
Will cradle you
Making all of the pain you feel seem far away
They'll hold you forever, the dream isn't over yet
hough I often say I can't forget
I still relive in that day
You've been there with me all the way.
I still hear you say
Wait for me I'll write you letters
I could see how you stammered with your eyes to the floor
But still I swore to hide the doubt when I turn back the pages
Anger might have been the answer
What if I'd hung my head and said that I couldn't wait
But now I'm strong enough to know it's not too late
中文歌词
我知道你有太多隐瞒
用蜜语甜言掩饰真相
海誓山盟如风似梦
可我怎会迷醉其中轻言相信
我那般冷漠
不曾道句,珍重再见
我静静倾听
你将离开,千里之外
相见无期
不要流泪,等我归来
你在耳畔低语,转身天涯
但我发誓,相忆无悲
也许我该嘶声呐喊
若哭泣挽留你不要离开
而今终于无畏真情坦露
万语千言,欲诉无言
愿心有灵犀你能听到
爱穿越时空紧紧拥抱
情系银翼翩飞
万语千言,无数告白
沉醉此间
带你逃离痛苦深渊
相拥在永恒的云端
梦在延续,回忆不死
永远活在离别之际
犹记你说永不离弃
安心等候,等我来信
你目光低垂,在我耳畔呢喃
但我发誓,相忆无虑
也许我该燃起愤怒
也许该说等待太难
而今才觉一切不晚

turn back the pages
意为“回忆过去”，记忆如册，历历在目。
地道发音
01
But dreams could never fool me
歌词中but和could末尾辅音[t]和[d]后都于辅音相邻，所以失去爆破，可略读。
01
02
What if I‘d cried my eyes out and begged you not to depart
在自然流利的谈话中，为了说话省力，经常把一些音省掉。某单词字尾是辅音，而相邻后面的单词开头也是辅音，这时我们应把字尾辅音省略去不读。这歌词中I‘d中[d]、cried中[d],and中以及not中[t]都可略读，略读符合地道发音省力原则。
02
03
They'll hold you forever
歌词中hold you为辅音[d]和[j]相邻，被同话为[dʒ]

04
歌词中depart和heart,yet和forget,day和say，以及late和wait两两押韵，读来朗朗上口。
