Right Here Waiting Oceans apart day after day

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.

再别康桥 徐志摩 轻轻的我走了，正如我轻轻的来； 我轻轻的招手, 作别西天的云彩。 Say Goodbye to Cambridge Again Very quietly I take my leave As quietly as I came here; Quietly I wave(� 手) good-bye To the rosy(玫瑰色的) clouds in the western sky.
