听歌学英语:肯德基温情广告曲 Your Song

肯德基的温情广告，从两小无猜到白首偕老，这也许是人世间最美的爱恋。岁月不再蹉跎，只因彼此拥有的你我；广告的创意不用复杂，更不用如盗梦空间一般悬念云山雾罩。要诀只有一条：来自生活，高于生活。Ellie Goulding，英格兰女歌手，生日是1986年12月30日。她的音乐轻盈、活泼，真情奔放，很容易让乐迷的心跟着悦耳的旋律一起飞扬

It's a little bit funny
This feeling inside.
I'm not one of those who can Easily hide.
I don't have much money
But boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where
We both could live.
So excuse me forgetting.
But these things I do.
See I've forgotten if
They're green or they're blue.
Anyway the thing is...
What I really mean...
Yours are the sweetest eyes
I've ever seen.
And you can tell everybody
This is your song.
It maybe quite simple but
Now that it's done
I hope you don't mind (x2)
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is
While you're in the world.
If I was a sculptor¹
But then again no.
Or a girl who makes potions in a travelling show.
I know it's not much but
It's the best I can do.
My gift is my song and
This one's for you.
And you can tell everybody
This is your song.
It maybe quite simple but
Now that it's done
I hope you don't mind (x2)
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is
While you're in the world.
