Love Story

Where do I begin to tell the story
Of how great a love can be,
The sweet love story
That is older than the sea?
The simple truth about the love
She brings to me.
Where do I start?

With her first hello,
She gave a meaning
To this empty world of mine.
There'll never be another love
Another time.
She came into my life
And made the living fine.
She fills my heart.
She fills my heart

With very special things,
With angel¹ songs,
With wild imaginings.
She fills my soul with so much love
That anywhere I go I'm never lonely.
With her along, who could be lonely?
I reach for her hand.
It's always there.

How long does it last?
Can love be measured
By the hours in a day?
I have no answers now,
But this much I can say:
I know I'll need her
Till the stars all burn away,
And she'll be there.

歌词大意

爱情故事
从何讲述这个故事，
细说爱情是多么伟大，
这甜蜜爱情故事
比大海还古老。
她给我带来爱情的
朴素真理。
我从何说起？

用第一声“哈罗”
她把情义
注入我这空虚的世界。
再也没有另一个爱人
没有另一次。
她走入我的生活，
使我生活快乐。
她充满我心窝。

她充满我心窝，
用很特殊的方式，
用天使之歌，
用丰富想象。
她用这么多爱充满我心灵，
不论走到哪里，我从不寂寞。
与她在一起，谁会寂寞？
我拉她的手
它总在那里等候。

这爱会持续多久？
爱能否按一天的
小时计算？
我现在没有答案，
但我可以说这么多：
我知道我需要她，
直到天荒地老，
她会仍在那里。
