Anyway, this song is from a little show that they want to do that we hope will be in a big show that we want to do
總之，這首歌是出自一齣他們想做的小戲，但我們想把它變成大製作
CHARLEY (spoken)
A big show? Frank what the hell is she talking about?
大製作？Frank他們在說什麼鬼
FRANK (spoken)
Later, sing!
晚點說，先唱！
CHARLEY
It started out like a song
We started quiet and slow
With no surprise
And then one morning I woke
To realize
We had a good thing going
一開始就像首歌
故事開始的緩慢又安靜
不帶驚喜
然後有天早上起來
我就懂了
我們曾那麼要好
It's not that nothing went wrong:
Some angry moments, of course
But just a few
And only moments, no more
Because we knew
We had this good thing going
也不是有什麼出錯了
當然還是有生氣的時候
但不多
而且也都只有片刻，沒繼續
因為我們那時都懂
我們曾如此要好
And if I wanted too much
Was that such
A mistake
At the time?
You never wanted enough —
All right, tough
I don't make
That a crime
如果我想要的太多
在那當下
是否真的是錯誤
你不曾妄想更多
沒關係，我也不會覺得是犯罪啊
And while it's going along
You take for granted some love
Will wear away
We took for granted a lot
But still I say:
It could have kept on growing
Instead of just kept on
We had a good thing going
Going, gone
而事情不斷發展
你把愛的消磨
視為理所當然
我們都太理所當然
但我還是要說
當初或許能繼續要好
而不只是繼續而已
我們曾如此要好
然後，就沒了
