I met her in a church on a Sunday evening 我见到她在教堂上周日晚上

Not late on Saturday night 不晚于周六晚

She sang Ave Maria 她唱圣母颂

A little flat and out of time 有点平坦，出来的时候

But that's what drew me to her 但是，这就是把我拉到她的

So that's alright 所以这是正常的

As she placed a nickel in the basket 当她把镍在篮下

That I held before her 我之前举行了她

I asked her to be my wife 我问她做我的妻子

   

And there's one cardboard heart 并有一纸板心脏

For every time you said "I love you" 对于每一个你说一次“我爱你”

A painted star for every secret that we shared 所画出的明星，我们每一个共享的秘密

A dried lima bean and small plastic birds 将干燥的利马豆和小塑料鸟

Because you cared 因为你在乎

   

I hear their talk and I watch them swap 我听到了他们的谈话，我看着他们互换

Their old black and whites 他们的老黑和白色

Bitter and beaten 苦和殴打

They talk of life's cheatin' 他们谈论生活中的不忠“

Like old boxers comparing scars 如同疤痕比较老拳击手

   

All I remember is a smile at the top of every working morning 我只记得是一个微笑在每一个早晨工作的顶部

And a shoulder always willing and able 和肩膀总是愿意并有能力

And all those nights that we'd spend just sitting 和所有那些夜晚，我们会花只是坐在

And talking around our kitchen table 而谈到在我们厨房的桌子

   

And there's one cardboard heart 并有一纸板心脏

For every time you said "I love you" 对于每一个你说一次“我爱你”

A painted star for every secret that we shared 所画出的明星，我们每一个共享的秘密

A dried lima bean and small plastic birds 将干燥的利马豆和小塑料鸟

Because you cared 因为你在乎

   

Five rooms made stronger by the breaking and the healing 五个房间的断裂和愈合取得更强

Of the two hearts they protected within 两人心中，他们的保护范围内

Now one heart left aching 现在，人们心脏左侧隐隐作痛

Just piecing and painting 只是拼凑和绘画

These walls with the memories of all that is real 这些墙与所有的回忆是真实的

   

And there's one cardboard heart 并有一纸板心脏

For every time you said "I love you" 对于每一个你说一次“我爱你”

A painted star for every secret that we shared 所画出的明星，我们每一个共享的秘密

A dried lima bean and small plastic birds 将干燥的利马豆和小塑料鸟

Because you cared 因为你在乎

   

And there's one cardboard heart 并有一纸板心脏

For every time you said "I love you" 对于每一个你说一次“我爱你”
