As Long As You're Near The first time we met， I could see，

    That you and I， were meant to be.

    Your eyes were so gentle， your smile so true，

    When you first held my hand， I just knew.

    Now the time has gone by， through laughter¹ and tears，

    These days I shall cherish²， for years upon years.

    Those memories we have， shall never fade³，

    For those are the steps， that we have made.

    That was the past， the future is near，

    I anxiously wait， for what will appear.

    New homes， more laughter， and children so dear，

    Everything will be wonderful， as long as you're near.

    - Cristy Smith -

    如果有一天，

    我离开了你身边，或者你离开了我身边，

    我们的生活会是什么模样？

    会不会有人逗你开心地笑？

    会不会有人任性地围绕着你吵吵闹闹？

    生病时会不会有人照顾？

    受伤时会不会有人抚慰？

    夜深时有没有人听你静静地讲故事？

    睡不着时会不会有人给你轻声低唱？

    而我又会怎样？会怎样？
