Wednesday, July 09, 2008 This is my last offering before I leave and it's a really personal one. Thanks to a commenter on YouTube who recommended the brilliant green to me, I stumbled upon this song and fell in love with it instantly. As the days grew closer to my departure, I had a lot of mixed feelings about it especially about the fact that I'm leaving all my friends here. And this song just suited perfectly somehow. So I felt compelled to write an English version so that they can get the message I wish to convey to them. And that is to always "stand by me" and that I treasure them dearly. My singing isn't pitch perfect as usual. I sang this around 2-3am and my cough was acting up. But I did my best, I guess. I don't know when will I sing the next time. I worry that my life in Perth would make it tough. But here's to being hopeful that things will work out somehow, right? ^^ Thank you to everyone who has supported me up till now! This song is especially for you! Song: Stand by me Original Artist: the brilliant green Another long day has ended once again They disappear beyond doors that keep our past I know that I might be causing my heart to break But I long to see myself in different lights Can I try? Why should I? Cry the voice in my head Where these thoughts in my heart lie asleep just because You're always on my mind So stand by me Even as the world crumbles below And when there's nothing left Show me stars again, I believe Though all the lights above seem to disappear and no longer shine When you are with me I know I'll be fine I wonder if what I need and truly yearn Could bring me the happiness that I truly seek As long as I know that it will belong to me As selfish as it sounds It will be all right But I know that someday if I were just to touch It may break, disappear and will never come back Though as much as I try So stand by me Face the door of fate, wish and defeat And we will stand our ground Even if we wait forever And when our dreams come true We can smile again and we'll believe That friendship can bring the best out of you I truly don't understand When I begin to cry For someone else than I But I will treasure all, the good and the bad The happiness and even the pain Stand by me Stand by me Yeah baby So stand by me (So stand by me oh...) Yeah baby, stand by me (You're always on my mind) I know the lights above will someday shine again if I believe So I will carry on my path And I'll be fine if you're here with me So stand by me If you want to hear how this is sung on Putflie: [+] Please click here.
