Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky. Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are! Then the traveler in the dark Thanks you for your tiny spark; He could not see which way to go, If you did not twinkle so. Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are! When the blazing sun is gone, When he nothing shines upon, Then you show your little light, Twinkle, twinkle, all the night. Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are!

RIGHT HERE WAITING - by Richard Marx Oceans apart, day after day, And I slowly go insane. I hear your voice on the line, But it doesn't stop the pain. If I see you next to never, How can I say forever? Wherever you go, whatever you do, I will be right here waiting for you; whatever it takes, or how my heart breaks, I will be right here waiting for you. 远隔重洋，日复一日 思念几乎使我发狂 尽管电话中听到了你的声音 但却摆脱不了痛苦 如果从此再也不能相见 我们又怎么能说相爱到永远 无论你到何方，无论你在做 什么 我都会在此等你 无论付出怎样的代价 哪怕使我心碎 我也会在此等你
