Song by Jewel... sung by yours truly. (dont throw rotten eggs at me pls.. lol )

I will meet you in some place
Where the light lends itself to soft repose
I will let you undress me
But I warn you, I've thorns like any rose

You could hurt me with your bare hands
You could hurt me using the sharp end of what you say
But I'm lost to you now
There's no amount of reason to save me

So break me
Take me
Just let me feel your arms again
Break me
Take me
Just let me feel your love again

Feels like being underwater
Now that I've let go
And lost control
Water kisses fill my mouth
Water fills my soul
So break me
Take me
Just let me feel your arms again
Break me
I'll let you make me
Just let me feel your love again

Kiss me once
Well, maybe twice
Oh, it never felt so nice

Break me
Take me
Just let me feel your love again

Break me
I'll let you
I'll let you make me
Just let me feel your arms again
Just let me feel your love again

Do Nothin' Till You Hear From Me ~ Duke Ellington Orchestra

Do nothing till you hear from me
Pay no attention to what's said
Why people tear the seam of anyone's dream
Is over my head
Do nothing till you hear from me
At least consider our romance
If you should take the word of others you've heard
I haven't a chance
True I've been seen with someone new
But does that mean that I'm untrue
When we're apart the words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you
Some kiss may cloud my memory
And other arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothing till you hear from me
And you never will

(Translation found on web)

Phrase:
还没好好的感受 hai mei hao hao de gan shou
Have yet to really experience

雪花绽放的气候 xue hua zhen fang de qi hou
The season when *winter flowers bloom (*snowflakes)

我们一起颤抖 wo men yi qi zhan dou
Only when we both shiver together

会更明白 hui geng ming bai
Then we'll better understand

什么是温柔 shen me shi wen rou
What gentle warmth is

还没跟你牵著手 hai mei gen ni qian zhe shou
Haven't held hands with you

走过荒芜的沙丘 zou guo huang wu de sha qiu
To cross the barren deserts together

可能从此以后学会珍惜天长和地久 ke neng cong ci yi hou xue hui zhen xi tian chang he di jiu
Perhaps from now on I will learn to cherish Forever (**)

Chorus:
有时候有时候 you shi hou you shi hou
There are times, there are times

我会相信一切有尽头 wo hui xiang xin yi qie you jing tou
When I believe that everything has an end

相聚离开都有时候 xiang ju li kai dou you shi hou
Coming together and parting, all have their times

没有什么会永垂不朽 mei you shen me hui yong chui bu xiu
Nothing lasts forever

可是我有时候 ke shi wo you shi hou
But I, sometimes

宁愿选择留恋不放手 ning yuan xuan ze liu lian bu fang shou
I'd rather hold on and not let go

等到风景都看透 deng dao feng jing dou kan tou
For after you've seen all there is in the world

也许你会陪我看细水长流 ye xu ni hui pei wo kan xi shui chang liu
Perhaps you would come watch the long flow of small streams with me (***)

Phrase 2:
还没为你把红豆熬成缠绵的伤口 hai mei wei ni ba hong dou au cheng chan mian de shang kou
Haven't yet, for you, cooked the red bean to a wound of closeness (****)

然后一起分享 ran hou yi qi fen xiang
And then share it together

会更明白相思的哀愁 hui geng ming bai xiang si de ai chou
So as to better understand the pain and sadness of missing each other

还没好好的感受 hai mei hao hao de gan shou
Have yet to really feel

醒著亲吻的温柔 xing zhe qing wen de wen rou
The tenderness of a morning kiss

可能在我左右 ke neng zai wo zuo you
Perhaps only with me

你才追求孤独的自由由 ni cai zui chiu gu du de zi you
Do you pursue your lone freedom

Translator note:
(*) Winter flowers refers to snow, for each flake presents itself like a flower.

(**) The song deploys many different terms for "forever". For example, 天長和地久 translates to the age of the heavens and earth, and is by far one of the most often used terms in chinese literature to stand for an eternal love.

(***) "看細水長流" watching the long flow of water actually refers again to eternity.. to spend a long, continuous time together. The more literal translation of the preceding line is "Perhaps when you've finished seeing through the scenery". The metaphor carries itself throughout the line, making it very tricky to put together a concise translation.

(****) The key concept and title of the song -- the red bean, draws its meaning from chinese literature as a representation of missing another person. As such, "cooking" the red bean refers to the continued tossing and growing of those thoughts of another.
The wound of closeness seems to refer to the past, close intimacy of the lovers.. for which the thoughts and missing of the other who is now far from oneself creates a wound. As such, the line really means, "Having not yet missed you so much that it hurts" (from the closeness we shared in the past).

Fairy tales can come true
It can happen to you
If you're young at heart
For its hard, you will find
To be narrow of mind
If you're young at heart

You can go to extremes with impossible schemes
You can laugh when your dreams fall apart at the seams
And life gets more exciting with each passing day
And love is either in your heart or on its way

Don't you know that its worth every treasure on earth
To be young at heart
For as rich as you are, its much better by far
To be young at heart

And if you should survive to a hundred and five
Look at all you'll derive out of being alive
Then here is the best part
You have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart

Song by Jewel

I hear the clock, it's six a.m
I feel so far from where I've been
I got my eggs and my pancakes too
I got my maple syrup, everything but you
I break the yolks, make a smiley face
I kinda like it in my brand new place
I wipe the spots off the mirror
Don't leave the keys in the door
Never put wet towels on the floor anymore 'cause
Dreams last for so long even after you're gone
I know you love me and soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you.

I called my momma, she was out for a walk
Consoled a cup of coffee but it didn't wanna talk
So I picked up a paper, it was more bad news
More hearts being broken or people being used
Put on my coat in the pouring rain
I saw a movie it just wasn't the same 'cause
It was happy oh I was sad and
It made me miss you oh so bad 'cause
Dreams last for so long even after you're gone
I know you love me and soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you

I go 'bout my business, I'm doin' fine
Besides what would I say if I had you on the line
Same old story, not much to say
Hearts are broken everyday

I brush my teeth and put the cap back on
I know you hate it when I leave the light on
I pick a book up and turn the sheets down
And then I take a deep breath and a good look around
Put on my pjs and hop into bed
I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead
I try and tell myself it'll all be alright
I just shouldn't think anymore tonight 'cause
Dreams last for so long even after you're gone
I know you love me and soon I know you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you

Yeah.... You were meant for me and I was meant for you

When did you leave heaven
How could they let you go
How's everything in heaven
I'd like to know

When did you leave heaven
For all these earthly things
Where did you hide your halo
Where did you lose your wings

How they miss you
Can you get back in
And if I....
If I should kiss you
Would it be a sin

'Cos I am only human
And you are so divine
When did you leave heaven
Angel of mine

Check out Ann Miller on Kiss Me Kate:

It’s too darn hot
It’s too darn hot
I’d like to sup with my baby tonight
Refill the cup with my baby tonight
I’d like to sup with my baby tonight
Refill the cup with my baby tonight
But I ain’t up to my baby tonight
'Cos it’s too darn hot !

It’s too darn hot
It’s too darn hot
I’d like to coo with my baby tonight
And pitch the woo with my baby tonight
I’d like to coo with my baby tonight
And pitch the woo with my baby tonight
But brother you’ll fight my baby tonight
'Cos it’s too darn hot !

According to the Kinsey Report
Ev'ry average man you know
Much prefers his love-y dove-y to court
When the temperature is low,
But when the thermometer goes 'way up
And the weather is sizzling hot,
Mister pants for romance is not

'Cause it's too, too,
Too darn hot!
It's too darn hot!
It's too, too darn hot!
I'd like to coo with my baby tonight
And pitch the woo with my baby tonight
I'd like to coo with my baby tonight,
Pitch the woo with my baby tonight
But brother, you fight my baby tonight
'Cause it's too darn hot!

According to the Kinsey Report
Ev'ry average man you know
Much prefers his lovey dovey to court
When the temperature is low
But when the thermometer goes 'way up
And the weather is sizzling hot,
Mr. Gob for his squab,
A marine for his queen,
A G.I. for his cutie-pie is not

'Cause it's too, too,
Too darn hot!
It's too darn hot!
It's too darn hot
It's too darn hot
It's too darn hot
It's too darn hot!
