promises don't come easy

Caron Nightingale的姓氏Nightingale在英文中的本義是一種歌喉婉轉動聽的鳥兒--夜鶯。人如其名，Caron Nightingale的嗓音也像夜鶯那樣動聽，讓人聞之感動。在她至今已長達22年的音樂生涯中，這位來自加拿大多倫多的才女從事過作曲、演唱、製作和發行，贏得過無數的獎項。這首Promises Don't Come Easy是她的一首名曲，曾經被香港電視劇《創世紀》選作插曲。這首歌以內心獨白的方式，對於應該如何對待感情進行了反思，説出了Promises Don't Come Easy的心聲。這首歌中Nightingale温暖的中音與蔡琴頗有些相似，舒緩的演唱娓娓道來，容易引起聽者的共鳴，加上上口的旋律，使之成為一首百聽不厭的好歌。

Caron Nightingale

I should have known all along (1)

There was something wrong

I just never read between the lines (2)

Then I woke up one day

And found you on your way (3)

Leaving nothing but my heart behind (4)

What can I do to make it up to you (5)

Promises don't come easy (6)

But tell me if there's a way

To bring you back home to stay

Well I'd promise anything to you (7)

I've been walkin' around (8)

With my head hanging down

Wonderin' what I'm gonna do (9)

'Cause when you walked out that door (10)

I knew I needed you more

Than to take a chance on losing you (11)

What can I do to make it up to you

Promises don't come easy

But tell me if there's a way

To bring you back home to stay

Well I'd promise anything to you

You never thought I loved you

I guess you never thought I cared

Well I was just too proud to say it out loud (12)

Now I know to let my feelings go (13)

(So tell me)

What can I do to make it up to you

Promises don't come easy

You know I've made up my mind

To make it work this time (14)

That's the promise I can give to you

What can I do to make it up to you

只留下了我的心 我該如何補償你呢

承諾不是輕易作出的

告訴我是否有一種方法

可以讓你回到我身邊

那樣的話我願向你承諾一切 我四處遊蕩

腦袋低垂

不知如何是好

因為當你走出門去

我知道我需要你

而不願失去你

我該如何補償你呢

告訴我是否有一種方法

可以讓你回到我身邊

那麼我願向你承諾一切 你過去從不覺得我愛你

你大概也覺得我不在乎吧

但我只不過是太矜持而無法大聲表白

現在我知道應該讓情感釋放

（告訴我）

我該如何補償你呢

承諾不是輕易做出的

我已下定決心

這次一定可以

這就是我可以給你的承諾

我該如何補償你呢
