《That’s My Job》歌词

[00:00:00] That's My Job - Richard Marx (理查德·马克思)

[00:00:25] I woke up crying late one night

[00:00:31] When I was very young

[00:00:37] I had dreamed my father

[00:00:42] Had passed away and gone

[00:00:48] My world revolved around him

[00:00:52] I couldn't lay there anymore

[00:00:59] So I made my way

[00:01:02] Down the mirrored hall

[00:01:05] And tapped upon his door

[00:01:09] I said Daddy

[00:01:14] I'm so afraid

[00:01:16] How will I go on with you gone that way

[00:01:22] Don't wanna cry anymore

[00:01:25] So may I stay with you

[00:01:33] He said

[00:01:34] That's my job

[00:01:41] That's what I do

[00:01:46] Everything I do

[00:01:49] Is because of you

[00:01:52] To keep you safe with me

[00:01:58] That's my job you see

[00:02:04] Later we barely got along

[00:02:10] This teenage boy and he

[00:02:15] Most of the fights it seems

[00:02:18] Were over different dreams

[00:02:22] We each held for me

[00:02:27] He wanted knowledge and learning

[00:02:33] And I wanted to fly out west

[00:02:38] Said I could make it out there

[00:02:41] If I just had the fare

[00:02:44] I got half will you loan me the rest

[00:02:49] And I said Daddy I'm so afraid

[00:02:55] There's no guarantees in these plans I've made

[00:03:02] And if I should fail

[00:03:05] Who will pay my way back home

[00:03:12] And he said

[00:03:14] That's my job

[00:03:21] That's what I do

[00:03:26] Everything I do is because of you

[00:03:31] To keep you safe with me

[00:03:37] That's my job you see

[00:03:43] Every person carves his spot

[00:03:49] And he fills the hole with light

[00:03:54] And I pray someday I might

[00:04:00] Light as bright as he

[00:04:07] I woke up early one bright fall day

[00:04:13] To spread the tragic news

[00:04:18] After all my travels I settled down

[00:04:25] Within a mile or two

[00:04:31] I make my living with words and rhyme

[00:04:35] And all this tragedy

[00:04:41] Should go into my head

[00:04:45] And out instead

[00:04:47] As bits of poetry

[00:04:52] And I say Daddy I'm so afraid

[00:04:58] How will I go on with you gone this way

[00:05:05] How can I come up with a song to say

[00:05:10] I love you

[00:05:17] That's my job

[00:05:24] That's what I do

[00:05:28] Everything I do is because of you

[00:05:34] To keep you safe with me

[00:05:40] That's my job you see

[00:05:46] And everything I do is because of you

[00:05:53] To keep you safe with me

[00:06:00] That's my job you see
