Lyrics by:Steven Joseph William/Liz Hengber/Thom Shepherd
Composed by:Steven Joseph William/Liz Hengber/Thom Shepherd
For the longest time I guess I thought
在很长一段时间里 我一直以为
He didn't understand
他并不理解我
Hard to read hard to please
难以读懂 难以取悦
Yeah that was my old man
是啊 那就是我的父亲
On the day that I left town
在我离开小镇的那天
It was nothing new
一切如常
We never had that heart to heart
我们从未有过交心的谈话
He had too much to do
他总是有太多事情要忙
He checked the air in my tires
他检查了我轮胎的气压
The belts and all the spark plug wires
还有皮带和所有火花塞的线路
Said son when the last time
他说儿子,你上次
You had this oil changed
是什么时候换的机油
And as I pulled out the drive
当我开车离开时
He said be sure and call your mom sometime
他说记得有空给**妈打个电话
I didn't hear it then but I hear it now
那时我没听懂,但现在我明白了
He was saying I love you
他是在说“我爱你”
The only way he knew how
他唯一懂得的方式
A hundred twenty thousand miles
十二万英里的路程
And six years down the road
六年的时光流逝
A brand new life a brand new wife
全新的生活,全新的妻子
We'd just bought our first home
我们刚买下第一套房子
When he finally came to visit
当他终于来拜访时
I thought he'd be so proud
我以为他会很自豪
He never said he liked the place
他从未说过他喜欢这个地方
He just got his tool belt out
他拿出工具带
And put new locks on the doors
给门装上新锁
Went back and forth to the hardware store
来回奔波于五金店
Said come and hold this flashlight
让我帮忙拿手电筒
As he crawled beneath the sink
他爬进水池下方
These old wires ain't up to code
这些老旧的线路不合规范
And that circuit box is gonna overload
那个电箱快要超负荷了
I didn't hear it then but I hear it now
那时我没听懂,但现在我明白了
He was saying I love you
他是在说“我爱你”
The only way he knew how
他唯一懂得的方式
Last Sunday we all gathered
上周日我们齐聚一堂
For his sixty fifth birthday
为他庆祝六十五岁生日
I knew he'd stiffen up
我知道他会有些拘谨
But I hugged him anyway
但我还是拥抱了他
When it was finally time to say goodbye
当终于到了告别的时候
I knew what was next
我明白接下来会发生什么
Just like he always does
就像他一直以来那样
Right before we left
在我们出发之前
He checked the air in my tires
他检查了我轮胎的气压
The belts and all the spark plug wires
还有皮带和所有火花塞的线路
Said son when the last time
他说儿子,你上次
You had this oil changed
是什么时候换的机油
And as we pulled out the drive
当我们驶出车道时
He said be sure and call your mom sometime
他说记得有空给**妈打个电话
I wish I knew back then but I know now
那时我还不懂 但现在我明白了
He was saying I love you
他是在说“我爱你”
He was saying I love you
他是在说“我爱你”
The only way he knew how
他唯一懂得的方式
