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
