what are words
Anywhere you are,I am near
Anywhere you go,I'll be there
Anytime you whisper my name,you'll see
How every single promise I keep
Cuz what kind of guy would I be
If I was to leave when you need me most
What are words
If you really don't mean them
When you say them
What are words
If they're only for good times
Then they don't
When it's love
Yeah,you say them out loud
Those words,They never go away
They live on,even when we're gone
And I know an angel was sent just for me
And I know I'm meant to be where I am
And I'm gonna be
Standing right beside her tonight
And I'm gonna be by your side
I would never leave when she needs me most
What are words
If you really don't mean them
When you say them
What are words
If they're only for good times
Then they don't
When it's love
Yeah,you say them out loud
Those words,They never go away
They live on,even when we're gone
Anywhere you are,I am near
Anywhere you go,I'll be there
And I'm gonna be here forever more
Every single promise I keep
Cuz what kind of guy would I be
If I was to leave when you need me most
I'm forever keeping my angel close
中文版歌詞
無論你在哪里，我會在那裏
無論你去哪里，我會在那裏
任何時候你輕聲呼喚我的名字
你會看到我遵守的每一個承諾
因為如果在你最需要我的時候離開
我會變成怎樣的人
如果你言不由衷
那些話算什麼
如果只是為了重溫美好時光
那些話算什麼
如果是愛
那你大聲的說出來
那些話語永遠不會消失
即使我們不再，它們仍在
我知道上天特意給了我一個天使
我知道我應該在哪里
今晚我會站在她的身邊
我會在你的身邊
在她最需要我的時候
我永遠不會離開
如果你言不由衷
那些話算什麼
如果只是為了重溫美好時光
那些話算什麼
如果是愛
那你大聲的說出來
那些話語永遠不會消失
即使我們不再，它們仍在
無論你在哪里，我會在那裏
無論你去哪里，我會在那裏
我會永遠在那裏
我遵守每一個承諾
因為如果在你最需要我的時候離開
我會變成怎樣的人
我會永遠把我的天使留在身邊
