My Dream - Chuck Berry (查克·贝里)[00:00:00]
Written by:Chuck Berry[00:00:01]
When I build my home[00:00:05]
That I shall have some day[00:00:08]
It'll be like I want it[00:00:12]
Oh and I mean that in every way[00:00:15]
I have yet to see any[00:00:19]
That would cope with the style[00:00:23]
Of the house that I dream of[00:00:27]
That I'll build after a while[00:00:31]
The roof of it will have peak lines[00:00:35]
And contours that dip[00:00:39]
And form shadowy eaves[00:00:43]
Where the little raindrops can drip[00:00:47]
That sweet pitter patter[00:00:51]
Of raindrops at play[00:00:55]
Is such a beautiful sound[00:00:59]
On a quiet gloomy day[00:01:03]
You know when the wind is high[00:01:07]
And the storm gods race[00:01:11]
And I'll be snugged up[00:01:16]
By my fire place[00:01:20]
Maybe feeding my little doggy[00:01:24]
Or maybe playing with my cat[00:01:28]
But unconsciously yearning[00:01:32]
And wonderin' where you're at[00:01:35]
But when the meadow is shadowed[00:01:40]
By that old sinking sun[00:01:44]
And the roses are bowing[00:01:48]
For the dew drops to come[00:01:52]
At my old upright piano[00:01:57]
With pure ivory keys[00:02:01]
I'll just plunk out some vibrations[00:02:05]
Of whatever I please[00:02:08]
Sometimes it'll be classics[00:02:12]
And sometimes lullabies[00:02:16]
But mostly rock n' roll[00:02:19]
That I'll surely improvise[00:02:23]
And with my favourite guitar[00:02:28]
I'll be just strummin' away[00:02:31]
And bidding goodbye[00:02:35]
To another beautiful day[00:02:39]
A portrait of my angel[00:03:17]
That I love most of all[00:03:20]
I'll have painted from a snapshot[00:03:23]
Onto my bedroom wall[00:03:26]
Where the suns warm rays[00:03:31]
And the moon's cold beam[00:03:35]
Will cast her reflection[00:03:39]
As I lay there and dream[00:03:43]
You know I can't deny[00:03:47]
But it makes me so sad[00:03:50]
When I think that I've lost[00:03:55]
All that I could have had[00:03:59]
It was best for her[00:04:03]
And I guess I I know[00:04:06]
That she measured my love[00:04:10]
And then asked me to go[00:04:14]
Then Finally my house[00:04:18]
I will have it complete[00:04:22]
And I'll take up a smoke[00:04:27]
Sitting by the window sill[00:04:30]
And I'll read my many books[00:04:34]
That I'll have in my bachelors nest[00:04:37]
While the sun goes drooping[00:04:41]
Down in the west[00:04:46]
And I'll feel that gold[00:04:50]
Warm light on my face[00:04:53]
And then I'll start trippin'[00:04:57]
To some far off place[00:05:01]
That through all of my travels[00:05:05]
I must have missed somewhere[00:05:08]
A place that I might find[00:05:12]
My angel someday[00:05:16]
And I'll leave all that I have[00:05:20]
To the gods up above[00:05:24]
And go spend my life searching[00:05:28]
For the angel that I love[00:05:32]
For all of my dreams[00:05:37]
Would be but a souvenir[00:05:40]
Compared to the one[00:05:44]
That I love[00:05:48]
So dear[00:05:49]
