She-
She may be the face I can’t forget,
The trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay
She may be the song that summer sings
May be the chill the autumn brings
May be a hundred of different things
Within the measure of a day
She may be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a heaven or a hell
She may be the mirror of my dream
A smile reflected in the stream
She may not be what she seems inside her shell
She who always seems so happy in a crowd
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one allows to see them when they cry
She may be the love that cannot hope to last
May come to me from shadows of the past
That I remember till the day I die
She may be the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I’m alive
The one I will care for through the rough and ready years
Me, I will take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I’ve got to be
The meaning of my life is “s-h-e”
my comments
The lyric uses some figures of speech
The use of alliteration
eg. beauty or the beast, famine or the feast, heaven or a hell, private and so proud
assonance,
eg. forget & regret ; dream &steam, etc
these provide good sound effect.
the use of oxymoron,
beauty or the beast, famine or the feast, heaven or a hell,
provides different perspectives
the use of metaphor
She may be the song that summer sings
May be the chill the autumn brings
provide good images
有点对不住你…还有这首歌超低。我只能唱前两句…
