He remembers the night like it was yesterday, 他记得昨天晚上好像是，

No I wasn't there but I heard him say, 不，我不在那里，但我听到他说，

That it was real and it was true, 这是真实的，它是真实的，

And when I close my eyes I can be there too, 当我闭上眼睛，我可以在那里过，

Red flowers swaying on the white curtains blowing in the kitchen window, 红色的花朵摇曳在白色的窗帘吹在厨房的窗户，

New Orleans in the summertime Edna James singing on the radio, 新奥尔良在夏天埃德娜詹姆斯唱收音机，

Slow dancing on the checkered board floor, 慢舞的格子板地板，

Bare for memories from long ago, 裸从很久以前的记忆，

I'm there when I close my eyes. 我在那里当我闭上双眼。

   

[Verse 2:] [诗2： ]

I remember my mother lying on my bed, 我记得母亲躺在我的床上，

Holding me close she always said, 抱着我收她总是说，

That it was real and it was true, 这是真实的，它是真实的，

And when I close my eyes I can be there too 当我闭上眼睛，我可以在那里过

And if I'm only dreaming 如果我只是在做梦

If you just once believe it 如果你只是一次相信

   

[Repeat Chorus] [重复合唱]

   

Cause I'm there when I close my eyes 因为我在那里当我闭上双眼
