When I was young I'd listened to the radio waiting for my favorite songs
when they played I'd sing along it made me smile
those were such happy times and not so long ago
how I wondered where they'd gone but they're back again
just like a long lost friend all the songs I loved so well
every sha-la-la-la every wo-wo-wo still shines
every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they're starting to sing's so fine
when they get to the part where he's breakin' her heart
it can really make me cry just like before。 It’s yesterday once more
looking back on how it was in years gone by and the good times that I had
makes today seem rather sad so much has changed it was songs of love that I would sing to then and I'd memorize each word those old melodies still sound so good to me as they melt the years away
*every sha-la-la-la every wo-wo-wo still shines
every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they're starting to sing's so fine*(repeat)
all my best memories come back clearly to me some can even make me cry
just like before it's yesterday once more
**(repeat)
memorize v. 记忆 melody n. 悦耳的音调 melt v. 融化

Right here waiting
Richard Marx 作词作曲并演唱的经典金曲，是为了保留最初的那份炙热，那份青春年少的朝气和活力，那份令人一无反顾终生追寻的生活理念，去涤荡蹉跎岁月给人心灵带来的尘埃，虽然容颜易老，但让青春依旧。每每让心灵在此相约，感受生命不息，希望尚存。

Stories
( monolog )
I remember quite clearly now when this story happened. The autumn leaves were floating and measured down to the ground .Recovering the lake where we used to swim like children. On the sun would dare to shine .That time we used to be happy.
Well, I thought we were .But the truth was that you had been longing to leave me
Not daring to tell me. On that precious night watching the lake vaguely conscious
You said: our story was ending.
Now I’m standing here .No one to wipe away my tears. No one to keep me warm . And no one to walk along with .No one to make me feel .No one to make me whole
Oh ! What am I to do ?I’m standing here alone. It doesn’t seem so clear to me
What am I supposed to do about this burning heart of mine . Oh ! What am I to do ?
Or how should I react ? Oh ! tell me please !
（monolog）
The rain was killing the last days of summer. You had been killing my last breath of love . Since a long time ago ....... I still don’t think I’m gonna make it through another love story. You took it all away from me. And there I stand , I knew I was gonna be the ...the one left behind. But still I’m watching the lake vaguely conscious.
And I knew. My life is ending
Now I’m standing here. No one to wipe away my tears .No one to keep me warm .And no one to walk along with .No one to make me feel. No one to make me whole . Oh ! What am I to do ? I’m standing here alone It doesn’t seem so clear to me. What am I supposed to do about this burning heart of mine Oh ! What am I to do? Or how should I react ? Oh ! tell me please ! Ha a
Autumn of lake(秋之湖)
我仍清晰地记得故事发生的时候。秋叶翻飞，飘落一地。我们曾经孩子般戏水畅游过的小湖盖满落叶，在太阳下闪着光。那时我们幸福过。哦，我是这样认为的。可事实上你早就想离开我，只是不敢告诉我罢了。在那美丽的夜晚，眼望湖水，恍惚中听见你说：我们的故事已到尽头。
雨水扼杀着所剩无几的夏日，而你很久以来也在扼杀我奄奄一息的爱。我仍不认为自己会再去经历另一段爱情故事。你把一切都带走了。我只有悄然伫立，早已明白自己将会是那个被遗弃的人。而我依然凝望着湖水，恍惚中，生命正离我而去。
