Assignment #5 Interesting English Song





Lyrics:

"What Are Words"


Anywhere you are, I am near
Anywhere you go, I'll be there
Anytime you whisper my name, you'll see

How every single promise I'll keep
'Cause what kind of guy would I be
If I was to leave when you need me most

What are words
If you really don't mean them
When you say them

What are words
If they're only for good times
Then that's all

When it's love
Yeah, you say them out loud
Those words, they never go away
They live on, even when we're gone

And I know an angel was sent just for me
And I know I'm meant to be where I am
And I'm gonna be

Standing right beside her tonight
And I'm gonna be by your side
I would never leave when she needs me most

What are words
If you really don't mean them
When you say them

What are words
If they're only for good times
Then they're done

When it's love
Yeah, you say them out loud
Those words, they never go away
They live on, even when we're gone

Anywhere you are, I am near
Anywhere you go, I'll be there
And I'm gonna be here forever more

Every single promise I'll keep
'Cause what kind of guy would I be
If I was to leave when you need me most

I'm forever keeping my angel close

Three words that I learned from this song:

1. whisper: to speak very quiet

                               She whispered somethings in his ear.



2. single promise: a thing that you'll certainly do it

                               He gives her a single promise before he study aboard.



3. live on: (a money or somethings) that you buy or get it when you need it

                               I can live on my inheritance.







Comments:

I love this song because of its melody and also the lyrics. The lyrics is meaningful! This song is writing about his fiancee. His fiancee had an accident before their wedding. His fiancee soon became hemiplegia. He wrote this song to tell his fiancee that anywhere she been, he will always be there. I admire the singer that can wrote down their song by expressing their feelings in their own life. Of course this song made me cried every time when I listened. Besides that, the lyrics are also easy to understand. I think that lyrics can be easy and fulfill feelings and meaning are a good work to the writer.
