美國演藝天后[芭芭拉史翠珊]──成人當代抒情曲──[Higher Ground/更高境界]
Im scared
So afraid to show I care
Will he think me weak
If I tremble when I speak
Oooh
What if
Theres another one hes thinking of
Maybe hes in love
Id feel like a fool
Life can be so cruel
I dont know what to do
Ive been there
With my heart out in my hand
But what you must understand
You cant let the chance
To love him pass you by
Tell him
Tell him that the sun and moon
Rise in his eyes
Reach out to him
And whisper
Tender words so soft and sweet
Hold him close to feel his heart beat
Love will be the gift you give yourself
Touch him (Oooh)
With the gentleness you feel inside (I feel it)
Your love cant be denied
The truth will set you free
Youll have whats meant to be
All in time youll see
Oooh
I love him (Then show him)
Of that much I can be sure (Hold him close to you)
I dont think I could endure
If I let him walk away
When I have so much to say
Tell him
Tell him that the sun and moon
Rise in his eyes
Reach out to him
And whisper
Tender words so soft and sweet
Hold him close to feel his heart beat
Love will be the gift you give yourself
Love is light that surely glows
In the hearts of those who know
Its a steady flame that grows
Feed the fire with all the passion you can show
Tonight love will assume its place
This memory time cannot erase
Your faith will lead love where it has to go
Tell him
Tell him that the sun and moon
Rise in his eyes
Reach out to him
And whisper
Whisper words so soft and sweet
Hold him close to feel his heart beat
Love will be the gift you give yourself
Oooh
Never let him go
