'Cause there was a time when all I did was wish我所做的似乎只是一个期盼
You'd tell me this was love可你却说那是爱情火样的炽热
It's not the way I hoped or how I planned 这不是我心里的愿望
But somehow it's enough 我如何会有谋划策略？
And now we're standing face to face如今我们咫尺面对
Isn't this world a crazy place世界已经疯狂无法辨别？
Just when I thought our chance had passed 就在我万念俱灰不再奢望
You go and save the best for last 你却飘然而至真真切切
All of the nights you came to me那过去的日子你我共处
When some silly girl had set you free 定是某个笨女孩给你自由使你有了空歇
You wondered how you'd make it through 你不知道自己为何那样
I wondered what was wrong with you我也笑你心智泯灭
'Cause how could you give your love to someone else你如何可以把爱留给了别人
And share your dreams with me却又要与我同梦相依日日夜夜！
Sometimes the very thing you're looking for有时候你毕生追寻的
Is the one thing you can't see偏偏你又视而不见犹豫不决
And now we're standing face to face 如今我们咫尺面对
Isn't this world a crazy place世界已经疯狂无法辨别？
Just when I thought our chance had passed就在我万念俱灰不再奢望
You go and save the best for last你却飘然而至真真切切
Sometimes the very thing you're looking for有时候你毕生追寻的
Is the one thing you can't see偏偏你又视而不见犹豫不决
Sometimes the snow comes down in June有时六月下雪
Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon 有时太阳绕月
Just when I thought our chance had passed 就在我万念俱灰不再奢望
You go and save the best for last 你却飘然而至真真切切
You went and saved the best for last你飘然而至真真切切！

Vanessa Lynn Williams (born March 18, 1963) is an American singer-songwriter and actress. Williams made history on September 17, 1983 when she became the first woman of African American descent to be crowned Miss America. Williams' reign as Miss America came to an abrupt end when scandal led to her subsequent resignation of the title. Williams rebounded by launching a career as an entertainer, earning Grammy, Emmy, and Tony award nominations.
She is also well-known for her outspoken support of gay rights, having won the Human Rights Campaign "Ally for Equality" award in 2008.
Early life
Williams was born in Tarrytown, New York, the daughter of music teachers Helen and Milton Augustine Williams Jr. Williams and her younger brother Chris, who is also an actor, grew up in the predominantly white middle-class suburban area of Millwood, New York. Prophetically, her parents put "Here she is: Miss America" on her birth announcement.
Education
Williams studied piano and French horn growing up, but was most interested in singing. She received a scholarship and attended Syracuse University as a Theatre Arts major from 1981 to 1983. She discontinued her education at Syracuse during her sophomore year to fulfill her duties as Miss America, and then subsequently left the university to focus on her entertainment career. Twenty-five years later she graduated based on her 'life experience'. Williams also delivered the convocation address on May 10, 2008, with 480 other students in the College of Visual and Performing Arts. She stated:
“It’s been 25 years since I was a student here. It just brought home what my message was, which is cherish the moment; these days are irreplaceable and are the beginning of the rest of your life".
