2015 奥斯卡金曲 Jennifer hudson——《I Can't Let Go》

这是每年最伤感的环节，这首歌向罗宾·威廉姆斯致敬。不了解的歌迷建议可以去看电影《心灵点滴》。在这种致敬环节中看着回忆短片，听着歌，就觉得好感动。

I Can't Let Go

Jennifer Hudson

They say nothing lasts forever
Well, I wish that that were true
'Cause this aching¹ in my heart won't go away

They sing, "Ev'rything must change",
They say that time will see you through
Well I've listened and I've waited for that day

But I wake up with this anger
And the pain won't let me be
And the smile I share
Is only there for show

If I hang on to this heartache
Then my soul will not be free
So I keep trying
But I just cannot let go

I can't let go
Oh, I need it to remind me
I can't let go
Oh, I just repeat the past

And though your arms are saying yes
I feel my heart keep saying no
I want to love you
But I can't let go

I have to live through bad beginnings
And I've seen unhappy ends
So I close the book
Before the story starts

I'm just a witness² to my lifetime³
And I'm a stranger to my friends
I'm a trafficker
Of broke and damaged hearts

Now, you ask me to start over
But it's easier said than done
And the memories are strong when they arise

And when heartache comes a-callin'
I won't even try to run
'Cause it's all that makes me know that I'm alive

I can't let go
Oh, I need it to remind me
I can't let go
Oh, I just repeat the past

And though your arms are saying yes
I feel my heart keep saying no
I want to love you
I want to love you
Oh, I want to love you
But I can't let go

No, I can't let go

Won't you help me?
Help me to let go
