美國創作歌手［蕾斯莉珍珠］──流行抒情曲──［You Never Gave Up on Me／你對我從未失去期望］

For all the times you stood by me through right and wrong
For being there to catch me when Id fall
I love you for your faith in me
For all the joys youve given me
But one thing makes me love you most of all

You never gave up on me
When I was givin love up on you
Every time I thought this love cant work
You stayed to see it through
You never gave up on me
When I was making things rough on you
And you showed me what it really means to love somebody

And though sometimes we might not see things eye to eye
Youve always met me more than half the way
So for all the times Ive let you down
And you could have packed your things and gone
I love you most of all because you stayed

And you never gave up on me
When I was givin love up on you
Never mattered who was right or wrong
You stayed to see it through
You never gave up on me
When I was making things rough on you
And you showed me what it really means to love
