華南師范大學(xué)外文學(xué)院英語系04級學(xué)生。喜歡英文,喜歡聽英文歌曲,一首好的英文歌曲不僅讓我學(xué)到課文里學(xué)不到的知識,更讓我體味到歌者的人生。令我陶醉的不僅僅是動人的旋律,找到每首歌的觸動點,理解每首歌背后的故事才是我最大的享受。除了聽歌還喜歡看看書,聽歌讓我覺得享受,看書讓我覺得充實。
我聽之我見:“I will come to you”是一首難得的描寫友情的歌曲。這個世界上每個人都在艱難地跋涉,為理想不斷執(zhí)著地追求,在這條黎明與黃昏不斷交替的路上,生命始終顯得微弱渺小和孤獨。而有了朋友,我們的生活才融入了更多的真誠與熱愛,從而變得豐腴充實。有了朋友的邂逅簇?fù)?,日子里充滿了快樂與溫馨,所以我一直篤信友情是一種最值得看重的財富。
Lyrics
I will come to you byHanson Brothers
When you have no light to guide you
And no one to walk beside you
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
When the night is dark and stormy
You won't have to reach out for me
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
Sometimes when all your dreams may have seen better days
And you don't know how or why, but you've lost your way
Have no fear when your tears are falling
I will hear your spirit calling
And I swear I'll be there come what may
When you have no light to guide you
And no one to walk beside you
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
When the night is dark and stormy
You won't have to reach out for me
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
'Cause even if we can't be together
We'll be friends now and forever
And I swear that I'll be there come what may
When the night is dark and stormy
You won't have to reach out for me
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
We all need somebody we can turn to
Someone who'll always understand
So if you feel that your soul is dying
And you need the strength to keep trying
I'll reach out and take your hand
When you have no light to guide you
And no one to walk beside you
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
When the night is dark and stormy
You won't have to reach out for me
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
