Είμαι τόσο ευτυχισμένος ότι δεν μπορώ να σταματήσω να κλαίω

Seven weeks have passed now since she left me
She shows her face to ask me how I am
She says the kids are fine, that they miss me
Maybe I could come and baby-sit sometime
She says, "Are you O. K.? I was worried about you
Can you forgive me? I hope that you'll be happy"
I said "I'm so happy that I can't stop crying
I'm so happy I'm laughing through my tears"

I saw a friend of mine
He said "I was worried about you
I heard she had another man
I wondered how you felt about it?"
I'm so happy that I can't stop crying
I'm so happy I'm laughing though my tears

Saw my lawyer, Mr. Good News, he got me
Joint custody and legal separation
I'm so happy that I can't stop crying
I'm laughing through my tears

I took a walk alone last night
I looked up at the stars
To try and find an answer in my life
I chose a star for me
I chose a star for him
I chose two stars for my kids and one star for my wife
Something made me smile
Something seemed to ease the pain
Something about the universe and how it's all connected

The park is full of Sunday fathers
And melted ice cream
We try to do the best within the given time
A kid should be with his mother
Everybody knows that
What can a father do but baby-sit sometimes?

I saw that friend of mine, he said
"You look different somehow"
I said "Everybody's got to
Teave the darkness sometime"
I'm so happy that I can't stop crying
I'm laughing through my tears

Απ' όλα τα πράγματα που ηξέραμε, κανένα όνειρο γλίτωσε

Photographs and memories
Christmas cards you sent to me
All that I have are these to remember you
Memories that come at night
Take me to another time
Back to a happier day, when I called you mine

Summer skies and lullabies
Nights we couldn't say goodbye
And of all of the things that we knew
Not a dream survived

Photographs and memories
All the love you gave to me
Somehow it just can't be true
It's all I've left of you

But we sure had a good time
When we started way back when
Morning walks and bedroom talks
Oh, how I loved you then

Δεν ήμουν μόνος μου: Είχα τον πόνο μιας ζωής

I was born in the land of the sun
And the tall green grass
And I don't understand
How all this has come to pass
How we've come to surround ourselves
In a sea of thieves
In a land without learning
Only the fools believe

I went driving last night
On a dark canyon road
Had the sky to myself
But I wasn't alone
Had the pain of my lifetime
For my company
How did it end up like this
For you and me?

As I open my eyes
To one more day
The wind burns my face
As it whispers your name
As it's pulling me forward
It tears me free
And the only thing left
Is the tears for you and me

'Cause when love breaks the promise
The heart has to keep
It leaves only truth here to find
When the spirit is crushed
And the hurt is so deep
Between you and I

Even when love has come and gone
And our hearts have moved along
I will remember
There was a time we had the trust
And that always was enough
I will remember
I will remember you

Μέμψου με, μπορείς να με μέμφεσαι

I was flicking through the channels on the TV
On a Sunday in Milwaukee in the rain
Trying to piece together conversations
Trying to find out where to lay the blame

But when it comes right down to it there's no use trying to pretend
For when it gets right down to it there's no one here that's left to blame
Blame it on me, you can blame it on me
We're just sugar mice in the rain

I heard Sinatra calling me down through the floorboards
Where you pay a quarter for a partnership in rhyme
To the jukebox crying in the corner
While the waitress is counting out the time

For when it gets right down to it there's no use trying to pretend
For when it gets right down to it there's no one really left to blame
Blame it on me, oh, you can blame it on me
We're just sugar mice in the rain

'Cause I know what I feel, know what I want I know what I am
"Daddy took a raincheck"
'Cause I know what I want, know what I feel, I know what I need
"Daddy took a raincheck, your daddy took a raincheck"
Ain't no one in here that's left to blame but me
Blame it on me, blame it on me

Well, the toughest thing that I ever did was talk to the kids on the phone
When I heard them asking questions I knew that that you were all alone
Can't you understand that the government left me out of work?
I just couldn't stand the looks on their faces saying: "What a jerk"

So if you want my address it's number one at the end of the bar
Where I sit with the broken angels clutching at straws and nursing our scars
Blame it on me, blame it on me
Sugar mice in the rain
"Your daddy took a raincheck, your daddy took a raincheck"

Δεν θα ξέρεις ποτέ τον λόγο γιατί εκείνη έφυγε

Loneliness is your only friend
A broken heart that just won't mend
Is the price you pay
It's hard to take when love grows old
The days are long and the nights turn cold
When it fades away

You hope that she will change her mind
But the days drift on and on
You'll never know the reason why she's gone

You see her face in every crowd
You hear her voice but you're still proud
So you turn away
You tell yourself that you'll be strong
But your heart tells you: "This time you're wrong"

Empty rooms, where we learn to live without love
Empty rooms, where we learn to live without love

All alone in an empty room
Loneliness is your only friend
Oh, she's gone
And you're at the end

Να βλέπεις σημαίνει να πιστέψεις μέχρι βρίκεις ότι είσαι τυφλός

You tell me lies that you believe
You say it's the real thing
I can see how you've deceived
I know what's happening
And seeing is believing till you find out
That you're blind

You're lying to yourself, lying to yourself

Wake up, shake up, turn around
I'll give it to you straight
It's been too long it's past a joke
Something I can't take
The cost is due now tell me
Money ain't the means

You're lying to yourself, lying to yourself
Lying to yourself again, you're lying to yourself again

Lying in the morning, I'll kiss you goodbye
You won't regret a part of this
And neither will I
Revealing hearts with a common need
Play their hands

Ήσουν η μοναδική που είχε σημασία. Τότε έφυγες, ο έρωτας πρόδεψε

Nobody else can make me happy
No one could hurt me like you do
You were the only one that mattered
Then you were gone
Love had moved on
Left me alone
Thinking of you
There was never any other
You and I were created to be true

Isn't it love that keeps us breathing?
Isn't it love we're sent here for?
Wasn't that love we were feeling? (that's something, baby)
Deep in our souls
Deeper than we know
Keepin' me holding out for you
There was never any question
You'll be forever on my mind
You and I, we were meant to be together
True hearts in a world where love is dying

I might as well have been dyin'
When we were appart
When you came back
I felt the beating of my heart

You and I, there was never any question
You'll be forever on my mind
You and I, we were meant to be together
You, it was always you

Όλο που έχει φύγει δεν θα είναι ποτέ

Here we are at last with nothing left to say now
'Cause everything that's gone will never be
And I lost it all that one and lonely blue night
Everything was fine

Yes, I know I should have waited for you, baby
Where were you when I was needing you?
And a hundred times I called but you were not there
You were far from me

Why not tell me that you cared so much to keep me?
'Cause you knew it was the only thing that mattered
And now it's time for us to go together
Without games or lies

Where you sit and watch me smoke the lonely night away
There must be something more that's left for somewhere
Something that will save this love forever
It must never die

Another life, another lover
Where in the world do lonely dreams ever go?
Another night, another blue day
It is so long, long, long, long

Θυμάμαι εκείνα λουλούδια στο ράδιο, και πώς πονεί να θυμάμαι εκείνες σπασμένες υποσχέσεις

Summer and smoke, diamonds and dust
Go where you will, do what you must
The promise was made, your word was enough

We had dreams, visions and plans
Into the night, out of our hands
Letting our passion fulfill our demands

I remember those songs on the radio
The jasmine, the wind in your hair
Does it seem like so long ago?

Into the dust, reckless we rode
Secret desire, talking in code
Bittersweet madness, the stories unfold

I remember those songs on the radio
The jasmine, the wind in your hair
And how it hurts to remember those
Broken promises
Is it written in stone
That we wind up alone?
Broken promises
Can your heart still recall
When the promise was all that we had?

Στιγμές που ακόμα κόβουν την ανάσα μου

We were so close yet so far away
I'd reach out, you'd be gone
Moments that still take my breath away
There's so much more to life than loving you
You don't need me, no...

Time washes over memories
I can't look back no more
Change has forsaken our promises
There's someone else for you to hold again
So please stop your crying

I... can't wait all my life, on a street of broken dreams
It could have been you, my love (where are you now?)
Oh, I still wonder if you remember the nights
It should have been you

Remember, remember
Girl, I remember

Σε πήρα για κάποιο άλλο, κάποιο περισσότερο σαν εμένα

You took your coat off and stood in the rain
You were always crazy like that
And I watched from my window
Always felt I was outside looking in, on you
You were always the mysterious one with
Dark eyes and careless hair
You were fashionably sensitive but too cool to care
You stood in my doorway with nothing to say
Besides some comment on the weather

Well, in case you failed to notice
In case you failed to see
This is my heart bleeding before you
This is me down on my knees

These foolish games are tearing me apart
And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart

You were always brilliant in the morning
Smoking your cigarettes and talking over coffee
Your philosophies on Art Baroque moved you
You loved Mozart, and you'd speak of your loved ones
As I clumsily strummed my guitar

Well, excuse me, guess I've mistaken you for somebody else
Somebody who gave a damn, somebody more like myself

You took your coat off and stood in the rain
You were always crazy like that

Τώρα είναι ο χρόνος να περπατάς μόνος

You're the one who's nearly breaking my heart
Had your chance, you just threw it all away
Living in a world that you could never be a part of
And there's time to walk away

What's the use in hanging round these walls?
Lamps are burning, but nobody's at home
There's a new day dawning as a cold rain falls
And now's the time to walk alone

You can't stay, no, you can't stay
You're no loser, there's still time to ride that train
And you must be on your way tonight
Think anew right through, you're a man in the rain

How's it feel when there's time to remember?
Branches bare like the trees in November

Had it all, threw it all away
Now's the time to walk away

Ήμασταν φτωχοί μα είχαμε κάτι. Μπορεί να είμαι τυφλός αφού δεν είδα τα δάκρυά σου ποτέ

The road seen beneath the van's headlights
It's cold, so cold
It's cold enough to feel your sigh

My face up against the window now
Don't you know its cold outside?
Pick up your life as I pass by
Can't you see I'm cold inside?

We were fools but we had something
What wasn't torn was poisoned by your fear
You wanted more, I gave you nothing
For I may be blind...

Each town, each town it seems the same, my dear
And it's loud tonight
Your heart is ringing in my ear

Walk out the door across the street
Don't you know it's cold inside?
Pick up the phone my signal's weak
Can't you see I'm cold inside?

I think you know...
Yeah, we were poor but we had something
What wasn't sore was poisoned by your fear
You wanted more and I gave you nothing
And I may be blind for I never saw your tears
The days pass by and the gap it now appears
When I come home, please say that you'll be there

Εγκατάλειψες τον έρωτα. Φαντάζομαι πως δεν είσαι τόσο ζόρικη, εγκατάλειψες όλα που ο έρωτας μπορεί να γίνει

You say love is all you need
So the story goes
There's no changing what you believe
But you're the one who knows

You gave up on love
You gave up so easily
Guess you're not so tough
You gave up on everything love could be

Saw the way so long ago
Guess it was beyond us
You won't say that you still know
You just broke your promise

You gave up on love
You gave up so easily
Guess you're not so tough
You gave up on everything love could be

Hey, you run to me but it's just not enough
Hey, you couldn't see that you had to be
You had to be in love

You gave up on love
You gave up on everything

Μπόρεσες να έρθεις κοντά μου, μπόρεσες να πεις μου, αλλά φάνηκε πολύ μακριά να πας

We never talked about it
But I hear the blame was mine
I'd call you up to say I'm sorry
But I wouldn't want to waste your time

'Cause I love you, but I can't take any more
There's a look I can't describe in your eyes
Yes we could try, like we tried before
When you keep on telling me those lies

Do you remember...?

There seemed no way to make up
'Cause it seemed your mind was set
And the way you looked it told me
It's a look I know I'll never forget

You could've come over to my side
You could've let me know
You could've tried to see the difference between us
But it seemed too far for you to go

Do you remember...?

Through all of my life
In spite of all the pain
You know people are funny sometimes
'Cause they just can't wait
To get hurt again

Tell me, do you remember...?

There are things we won't recall
And feelings we'll never find
It's taken so long to see it
'Cause we never seemed to have the time

There was always something more important to do
More important to say
But "I love you" wasn't one of those things
And now it's too late

Do you remember?
Now it's over
Tell me now
Do you remember?

Δάκρυα κυλώντας για έρωτα, κυλώντας χωρίς έρωτα

Such a long time ago
Now I know
You woke up to find
You were wrong
There ain't no doubt
Put me out
Nearly made me blind

You sent me a letter, brought tears to my eyes
Tell me you've changed after all this time
Like a stone rolling down the mountainside
It's over, you can't turn the tide, and it's...
Tears falling about love, falling without love
Tears falling about love, falling without love

I was glad
To be with you
Near to you
My heart can't deny
I was sad
To leave your side
Stripped of pride
When you said goodbye

For every new road there must be a friend
For every broken heart there must be a mend
And the rain only lasted so long
It's over, the thing we had is gone

To tell me you've changed brought tears to my eyes
Say you've rearranged after all this time
Like a stone rolling down the mountainside
It's over, you can't turn the tide
And nothing's gonna stop my cry
Tears falling about love, falling without love
Tears falling about love, falling without love

Ερωτέφθηκα, και τώρα μου λες πως τέλειωσε, και διαλύομαι

I don't want my freedom
There's no reason for living with a broken heart

This is a tricky situation
I've only got myself to blame
It's just a simple fact of life
It can happen to anyone
You win - you lose
It's a chance you have to take with love
Oh, yeah, I fell in love
And now you say it's over, and I'm falling apart

It's a hard life
To be true lovers together
To love and live forever
In each others hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another
Right from the start
When you're in love

I try and mend the broken pieces
I try to fight back the tears
They say it's just a state of mind
But it happens to everyone
How it hurts - deep inside
When your love has cut you down to size
Life is tough on your own
Now I'm waiting for something to fall from the skies
I'm waiting for love

Yes, it's a hard life
In a world that's filled with sorrow
There are people searching for love
In every way
It's a long hard fight
But I'll always live for tomorrow
I'll look back on myself and say
"I did it for love"
Yes, I did it for love
Oh, I did it for love
