1 Taylor Swift - The Best Day

Taylor Swift 是小编自己非常喜欢的乡村女歌手,今天给大家推荐的这首歌相比较《Love Story》《Back to December》等歌曲来说,比较冷门,但也算得上经典之作。轻快的旋律,温暖的歌词,传递出父女情深。MV的开头还是Taylor小时候的样子噢,那两条冲天辫是不是有点雷人又很萌咧?

I'm five years old it's getting cold I've got my big coat on
I hear your laugh and look up smiling at you I run and run
past the pumpkin patch and the tractor rides look now the sky is gold
I hug your legs and fall asleep on the way home

I don't know why all the trees change in the fall
I know you're not scared of anything at all
don't know if snow white's house is near or far away
but I know I had the best day with you today

I'm thirteen now and don't know how my friends could be so mean
I come home crying and you hold me tight and grab the keys
and we drive and drive until we found a town far enough away
and we talk and window-shop till forgot all their names

I don't know who i'm gonna talk to now at school
I know I'm laughing on the car ride home with you
don't know how long it's gonna take to feel OK
but i know i had the best day with you today

I have an excellent father
his strength is making me stronger
god smiles on my little brother
inside and out he's better than I am

I grew up in a pretty house and I had space to run
and I had the best days with you

there is a video I found from back when I was three
you set up a paint set in the kitchen and you're talking to me
it's the age of princesses and pirate ships and the seven dwarves
daddy's smart and you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world

now I know why all the trees change in the fall
I know you were on my side even when I was wrong
and I love you for giving me your eyes
staying back and watching me shine and I didn't know if you knew
so I'm taking this chance to say that I had the best day with you today 

2 Christina Aguilera - Hurt

这首歌大家应该很熟悉了哈,Christina Aguilera 的名曲,今年还被一个小编喜欢的选秀歌手翻唱过。当然,原唱Christina撕心裂肺的表达,是任何翻唱者无法望其项背的,现在就一起来听听她令人动容的歌声。

小编觉得MV也拍得很赞——当浮华落幕,曲终人散,才理解父亲的爱和给予。世上最痛苦的事情莫过于“子欲养而亲不在”,这首歌想跟我们说的道理亦如是。那么从今天开始,好好爱自己的父母吧!

Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face
You told me how proud you were, but I walked away
If only I knew what I know today Ooh, ooh

I would hold you in my arms
I would take the pain away
Thank you for all you've done
Forgive all your mistakes
There's nothing I wouldn't do 
To hear your voice again
Sometimes I wanna call you
But I know you won't be there
Ohh I'm sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself by hurting you

Some days I feel broke inside but I won't admit
Sometimes I just wanna hide 'cause it's you I miss
And it's so hard to say goodbye. When it comes to these rules

Would you tell me I was wrong?
Would you help me understand?
Are you looking down upon me?
Are you proud of who I am?

There's nothing I wouldn't do
To have just one more chance
To look into your eyes. And see you looking back

Ohh I'm sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself, ohh

If I had just one more day
I would tell you how much that I've missed you
Since you've been away

Ooh, it's dangerous
It's so out of line To try and turn back time
I'm sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself by hurting you

3 Miley Cyrus - Butterfly Fly Away

小编无意听来的一首歌,简单明快的吉他伴奏,极富生活情趣的歌词,和第一首推荐的《The Best Day》有异曲同工之妙。据说这首歌来自一部迪斯尼电影《乖乖女和大明星》,有兴趣的童鞋可以找来看看噢。

You tuck me in, turn out the light  
kept me safe and sound at night
Little girls depend on things like that    
Brushed my teeth and combed my hair   
Had to drive me everywhere
You were always there when I looked back  

You had to do it all alone   
Make a living, make a home    
Must have been as hard as it could be  
And when I couldn't sleep at night
Scared things wouldn't turn out right   
You would hold my hand and sing to me

Caterpillar in the tree  
How you wonder who you'll be 
Can't go far but you can always dream   

Wish you may and wish you might   
Don't you worry, hold on tight    
I promise you there will come a day   
Butterfly fly away

Butterfly fly away  
Got your wings, now you can't stay   
Take those dreams and make them all come true  
Butterfly fly away   
You've been waiting for this day    
All along and know just what to do 
Butterfly~Butterfly~Butterfly fly away  

Butterfly fly away
Butterfly fly away 

4 Billy Gilman - The Woman in My Life

Billy Gilman,十二岁即出道,首张专辑《One Voice》创造了全美百万以上的销售纪录,并且迅速拿下Billboard乡村专辑榜亚军及流行专辑榜Top22。推荐的这首歌出自他继《One Voice》后的第三张专辑《Dare to Dream》。

像是世界上最美好的一封“情书”,献给生命中最重要的女人,BG清澈的声音,把对母亲的眷恋诠释得恰到好处。喜欢最后一句歌词,“Now I understand just why my dad is crazy bout the woman in my life”——这样的幽默,何其可爱。

the woman in my life
wakes me up in the morning
with a gentle touch
she kisses me and whispers "darling
this day was made for us"

the woman in my life 
has a way of smiling
that can turn a gray sky blue

its just like her without trying
to make the whole world new

and she's there when I need her
my guardian angel
in the dark I can see her
here by my side

the woman in my life
catches me when I've fallen
and holds me like a baby when I'm hurt
no matter how high I climb
she guides me safely back to earth

and she's there when I need her
my guardian angel
in the dark I can see her
here by my side

the woman in my life
says I'm the one she prayed for
and all she's ever gonna need
but she's the one my heart was made for
and that's the way it's always gonna be

now I understand just why my dad
is crazy bout the woman in my life
 

5 Celine Dion - Dance With My Father

最后一首歌啦,小编要请出唱功巨匠Celine Dion来帮忙压轴。这是一首悼念的歌,歌词几乎集合了前几首的精华。有对童年趣事的回忆,有家人之间的矛盾与和解,还有母亲对逝去父亲的思念。

歌曲结尾Dion的颤音几欲让人落泪——“I know I'm praying so much too much,but could you send back the only man she loved,I know you don't do it usually,but dear lord she's dying to dance with my father again." ——我知道我祈求得已经太多,也知道人死难以复生,但上帝你能否破例把母亲深爱的父亲送回,和她再跳一支属于他们的舞。

Back when I was a child
before life removed all the innocence
my father would lift me high
and dance with my mother and me then
spin me around till I fell asleep
then up the stairs he would carry me
and I knew for sure I was loved

if I could get another chance
another walk
another dance with him
I'd play a song that would never,ever end
how i love,love,love
to dance with my father again

when I and my mother would disagree
to get my way I would run from her to him
he'd make me laugh just to comfort me
then finally make me do just what my mama said
later that night when I was asleep
he left a dollar under my sheet
never dreamed that he would be gone from me

if I could steal one final glance
one final step
one final dance with him
I'd play a song that would never,ever end
cause i love,love,love
to dance with my father again

sometimes i'd listen outside her door
and i'd hear how my mother cried for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me

I know I'm praying so much too much
but could you send back the only man she loved
I know you don't do it usually
but dear lord she's dying
to dance with my father again
every night I fall asleep this is all I ever dream
