歌曲下载 Save The Best For Last
Vanessa Williams
Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes around the moon
I see the passion in your eyes
Sometimes it's all a big surprise
Cause there was a time when all I did was wish
You'd tell me this was love
It's not the way I hoped or how I planed
Somehow it's enough
And now we are standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place
Just when I thought that chance had passed
You go and save the best for last
All of the nights you came to me
When some silly girl had set you free
You wonder how you make it through
I wonder what was wrong with you
Cause how could you give your love to some one else
And share your dreams with me
Sometimes the very thing you are looking for
Is the one thing you can't see
But now we are standing face to face
Here isn't the world a crazy palce
Just when I thought that chance had passed
You go and save the best for last
(MUSIC)
Sometimes the very thing you are looking for
Is the one thing you can't see
You went and save the best for last

The Colors of the Wind
【演唱】Vanessa Williams
Think you own whatever land you land on
Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life has a spirit has a name
Think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You'll learn things you never knew you never knew
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sunsweet berries of the earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once never wonder what they're worth
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle in a hoop that never ends
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or let the eagle tell you where he's been
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
How high does the sycamore grow
If you cut it down then you'll never know
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
For whether we are white or copper skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind
You can own the Earth and still
All you'll own is earth until
You can paint with all the colors of the wind
