听歌学英语: 今晚我只愿哭泣 Tonight I Wanna Cry
TTonight I wanna cry，来自于Keith Urban的专辑《Be Here伴你一生》。整张专辑都充满了轻松愉快地气氛，其中也有几首个人心声的表达。虽然一曲带有凯尔特风格的摇滚和乡村风格的"Days Go By"已经名列美国Billboard乡村歌曲的榜首，但凯斯艾本这张专辑并不让自己只局限于乡村歌曲风格。无论欢快的曲调还是甜密的摇篮曲都无疑是他更为直接的表达。
Alone in this house again tonight
I got the TV on,
the sound turned down and a bottle of wine
There's pictures of you and I on the walls around me
The way that it was and could have been surrounds me
I'll never get over you walkin' away
i ve never been the kind to ever let my feelings show
and i thought that bein' strong meant never losin your self control
but i m just drunk enough to let go of my pain
To hell with my pride, let it fall like rain From my eyes
Tonight I wanna cry
Would it help if I turned a sad song on
"All By Myself" would sure hit me hard now
that you're gone
Or maybe unfold some old yellow lost love letters
It's gonna hurt bad before it gets better
But I'll never get over you by hidin' this way
I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show
And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control
But I'm just drunk enough to let go of my pain
To hell with my pride, let it fall like rain From my eyes
Tonight I wanna cry
I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show
And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control
But I'm just drunk enough to let go of my pain
To hell with my pride, let it fall like rain From my eyes
Tonight I wanna cry
