I'll Be Here - Lisa Brescia

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Adam Gwon
[00:13.147]We met, of all places, in front of Gristides, some freakishly cold winter's day.
[00:19.391]I had on several unflattering layers of wool.
[00:23.896]He slipped on the ice with his grocery bags full,
[00:28.147]So I rescued some Fruit Loops he dropped by the curb
[00:32.639]and he made some remark that my smile was superb
[00:36.898]I thought that was sweet and I started to go and he said
[00:41.648]"Hey, whatcha doing tomorrow?'
[00:44.144]'Because I'll be here
[00:48.138]at the corner of Bleaker and Mercer tomorrow at 7.
[00:53.642]If you want to meet up, I'll be waiting right here,
[00:57.148]and in case there are two fellas waiting for you, my name's John."
[01:04.889]He waved and then he was gone.
[01:18.891]Needless to say I went back there to meet him
[01:22.142]mostly to see if he'd show, and there he was
[01:25.891]out in the cold with his jacket pulled tight.
[01:29.144]He took me to dinner and kissed me goodnight.
[01:33.138]The next week we went to this terrible play.
[01:36.897]And the week after that drank hot chocolate all day.
[01:40.892]And suddenly, eight or nine months had flown by when he said
[01:45.396]"Hey, whatcha doing the rest of your life?'
[01:47.892]'Because I'll be here
[01:51.387]right beside you as long as you want me to be.
[01:54.893]There's no question.
[01:56.889]There is nothing I've wanted so much in my life.
[02:00.641]This might sound immature but I'm totally sure you're the one."
[02:07.143]And we had just begun.
[02:11.136]We got hitched in September, our favorite month,
[02:15.142]with a rock band that played in this old synagogue.
[02:18.636]And we bought an apartment on West 17th street and talked about children and getting a dog.
[02:27.645]Our first anniversary came in a flash
[02:31.140]and we promised to take the day off.
[02:33.890]He had to stop into his office that morning,
[02:37.397]and so I went walking uptown to this bakery I know.
[02:41.635]When I heard on the street what I thought was a joke
[02:45.395]till I noticed the sirens and saw all the smoke.
[02:48.635]So I'm running back home with this feeling of dread
[02:51.885]to the voicemail he left with the last words he said.
[03:03.635]I'm sorry, I don't mean to ruin your evening by bringing up all of this stuff.
[03:10.391]You're probably wondering why I even called you tonight.
[03:15.396]Well today something happened that spooked me alright.
[03:19.889]I saw this storm cloud of papers fall down from the sky,
[03:26.634]and I thought of that day and I started to cry.
[03:30.639]When as sure as I breath I heard John clear as day saying
[03:35.145]"Hey, you're allowed to move on. It's okay.'
[03:42.388]'Because I'll be here
[03:46.638]even if you decide to get rid of my favorite sweater.
[03:52.396]Even if you go out on my birthday this year instead of staying at home letting all of life's moments pass by.
[04:03.847]You don't have to cry.'
[04:07.098]'Because I'll be here
[04:11.104]when you start going back to the places we went to together.
[04:16.349]When you take off my ring and you let yourself smile.
[04:20.344]When you meet some handsome and patient and true.
[04:23.596]When he says that he wants to be married to you.
[04:26.845]When you call him one night and he meets you downtown.
[04:30.598]When you finally answer him yes."
[04:36.353]Yes.
[04:38.351]Jason, I will marry you.
[04:43.600]I will give you my heart.
[04:47.094]It has taken so long, but I'm ready to start.
[04:54.595]Right now John's whispering 'Congrats' in my ear cause I finally let myself tell you
[05:05.101]That I will be here.
