向陽山房

Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
I've been in love with you

Stronger than any mountain cathedral
Truer than any tree ever grew
Deeper than any forest primeval
I am in love with you

I'll bring fire in the winters
You'll send showers in the springs
We'll fly through the falls and summers
With love on our wings


Through the years as the fire starts to mellow
Burning lines in the book of our lives

Though the binding cracks and the pages start to yellow
I'll be in love with you

I'll be in love with you

Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
I've been in love with you

I am in love with you

*****[中譯歌詞]*****

永恆

比出現在大海裡的魚群還更久以前
比任何鳥兒曾飛過到的地方還要更高
遠在天上有星星之前
我就已經和你一起進入在這份愛


遠比任何山頂上的大教堂更堅固
遠比樹的成長更真實
比古老的森林更深遠

我和你一起進入在這份愛當中

我會在冬日裡，為你帶來熾火
在春日裡，你帶來陣雨
用我們愛的雙翼飛過無數個秋與夏

多年以後，當熾火轉弱
燃燒著的是我們生命裡的每一字句
雖然封面已有些斑駁，書頁亦逐漸泛黃
我會和你在這愛裡
我和你一起進入在這份愛當中
