That's My Job - Richard Marx (理查德·马克思)[00:00:00]

I woke up crying late one night[00:00:25]

When I was very young[00:00:31]

I had dreamed my father[00:00:37]

Had passed away and gone[00:00:42]

My world revolved around him[00:00:48]

I couldn't lay there anymore[00:00:52]

So I made my way[00:00:59]

Down the mirrored hall[00:01:02]

And tapped upon his door[00:01:05]

I said Daddy[00:01:09]

I'm so afraid[00:01:14]

How will I go on with you gone that way[00:01:16]

Don't wanna cry anymore[00:01:22]

So may I stay with you[00:01:25]

He said[00:01:33]

That's my job[00:01:34]

That's what I do[00:01:41]

Everything I do[00:01:46]

Is because of you[00:01:49]

To keep you safe with me[00:01:52]

That's my job you see[00:01:58]

Later we barely got along[00:02:04]

This teenage boy and he[00:02:10]

Most of the fights it seems[00:02:15]

Were over different dreams[00:02:18]

We each held for me[00:02:22]

He wanted knowledge and learning[00:02:27]

And I wanted to fly out west[00:02:33]

Said I could make it out there[00:02:38]

If I just had the fare[00:02:41]

I got half will you loan me the rest[00:02:44]

And I said Daddy I'm so afraid[00:02:49]

There's no guarantees in these plans I've made[00:02:55]

And if I should fail[00:03:02]

Who will pay my way back home[00:03:05]

And he said[00:03:12]

That's my job[00:03:14]

That's what I do[00:03:21]

Everything I do is because of you[00:03:26]

To keep you safe with me[00:03:31]

That's my job you see[00:03:37]

Every person carves his spot[00:03:43]

And he fills the hole with light[00:03:49]

And I pray someday I might[00:03:54]

Light as bright as he[00:04:00]

I woke up early one bright fall day[00:04:07]

To spread the tragic news[00:04:13]

After all my travels I settled down[00:04:18]

Within a mile or two[00:04:25]

I make my living with words and rhyme[00:04:31]

And all this tragedy[00:04:35]

Should go into my head[00:04:41]

And out instead[00:04:45]

As bits of poetry[00:04:47]

And I say Daddy I'm so afraid[00:04:52]

How will I go on with you gone this way[00:04:58]

How can I come up with a song to say[00:05:05]

I love you[00:05:10]

That's my job[00:05:17]

That's what I do[00:05:24]

Everything I do is because of you[00:05:28]

To keep you safe with me[00:05:34]

That's my job you see[00:05:40]

And everything I do is because of you[00:05:46]

To keep you safe with me[00:05:53]

That's my job you see[00:06:00]
