「You Sang To Me」
I just wanted you to comfort me (comfort)
When I called you late last night you see
I was fallin' into love (fall into)
Yes, I was crashin' into love (crash into)
Oh of all the words you sang to me (of all the words)
About life, the truth and being free, yeah (being free)
You sang to me, oh how you sang to me
Girl, I live off how you make me feel (live off)
So I question all this being real (question)
'Cause I'm not afraid to love
For the first time I'm not afraid of love
Oh, this day seems made for you and me (seem)
And you showed me what life needs to be (need to be)
Yeah, you sang to me, oh you sang to me
All the while you were in front of me I never realized (all the while)
I just can't believe I didn't see it in your eyes
I didn't see it, I can't believe it
Oh but I feel it
When you sing to me
How I long to hear you sing beneath the clear blue skies (long)
And I promise you this time I'll see it in your eyes
Just to think you live inside of me
I had no idea how this could be
Now I'm crazy for your love
Can't believe I'm crazy for your love
The words you said you sang to me
And you showed me where I wanna be
Yeah you sang to me, oh you sang to me
comfort me (comfort)
comfortable の動詞ですね
I was fallin' into love (fall into)
fall in love でなく、into になっています
Yes, I was crashin' into love (crash into)
crush には、「惚れる」感じがありますが、crash なので衝撃ですね
Oh of all the words you sang to me (of all the words)
of all で、「あらゆる」という感じになります。
of all the words you sang ですので、「君が歌ったあらゆる言葉の」
About life, the truth and being free, yeah (being free)
自由でいること、自由になること
Girl, I live off how you make me feel (live off)
live off ~ に頼って生きる
So I question all this being real (question)
question は動詞もあるんですね
Oh, this day seems made for you and me (seem)
seem は be動詞と同じ形の文を作れます
And you showed me what life needs to be (need to be)
need to be は、使えそうですね
All the while you were in front of me I never realized (all the while)
while は「期間」を表します。
all the while ~ の間、ずっと・全部
How I long to hear you sing beneath the clear blue skies (long)
long は動詞で「want」に似た強い感じを出しますね
