Father And Daughter:最爱你的父亲
由于40年前电影《毕业生》插曲《沉默之声》(Sound Of Silence)我们记住了这位歌坛老将,顺便重温一下他的经典作品也好。
Father And Daughter
Paul Simon
If you leap awake in the mirror of a bad dream
And for a fraction of a second you can't remember where you are
Just open your window and follow your memory upstream
To the meadow in the mountain where we counted every falling star
I believe the light that shines on you will shine on you forever
And though I can't guarantee there's nothing scary hiding under your bed
I'm gonna stand guard like a postcard of a Golden Retriever
And never leave till I leave you with a sweet dream in your head
I'm gonna watch you shine, gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign. So you'll always know:
As long as one and one is two there could never be a father
Who loved his daughter more than I love you
Trust your intuition. It's just like going fishing
You cast your line and hope you get a bite
But you don't need to waste your time worrying about the market place
Try to help the human race struggling to survive it's harshest night
I'm gonna watch you shine, gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign. So you'll always know:
As long as one and one is two there could never be a father
Who loved his daughter more than I love you (Repeat)
