[English]

Twenty days and twenty nights

I'm sitting right here by your side

Surrounded by the monitors

Listening to you sigh

You're sleeping so peacefully

Sometimes you're smiling in your dream

Lord, why did it have to be her?

Why didn't you pick me?

Until the day you were born

Still hoping they were wrong

But now I'm here to make you strong

I'm with you

I'll carry your pain

Whenever you fall again

I will help you stand

Just reach out your hand

When your world is dark

Or you're hurt in your heart

Come what may

I'll kiss it away

Sing softly into your ear

Your hand is wrapped around my finger

Kiss your eyes

Whisper I am here

And this won't take much longer

And now we're having fries

You're chasing butterflies

And show the world you won the fight

Oh yes you did

I'm with you

I'll carry your pain

Whenever you fall again

I will help you stand

Just reach out your hand

When your world is dark

Or you're hurt in your heart

Come what may

I'll kiss it away

In the darkness of the night

I'll be there to hold you tight

And until my final day

I will guide you

Come what may

Come what may

I'm with you

I'll carry your pain

Whenever you fall again

I will help you stand

Just reach out your hand

When your world is dark

Or you're hurt in your heart

Come what may

I'll kiss it away

Key Grammar Structures

• I'm sittin' right here by your side

  ➔ Present Continuous for an ongoing action

  ➔ The 'be' verb + '-ing' form ("I'm sittin'") is used to describe an action happening at the exact moment of speaking or an action that is in progress over a period of time. Here, it emphasizes the continuous act of sitting.

• Listening to you sigh

  ➔ Present Participle as an adverbial/complement after a verb of perception

  ➔ The present participle ("Listening") is used here after a verb of perception (implied 'I am' listening) to describe an action that is being perceived or happening simultaneously with the main action.

• Lord why had it to be her / Why didn't you pick me?

  ➔ Past Perfect and Simple Past in interrogative sentences

  ➔ The Past Perfect ("had it to be") refers to an action that happened before another action in the past, implying a prior decision. The Simple Past ("didn't you pick") refers to a completed action at a specific time in the past. Both are used here in question forms.

• But now I'm here to make you strong

  ➔ Infinitive of Purpose

  ➔ The infinitive 'to make' is used here to explain the reason or purpose for being there. It answers the question 'why' ('Why are you here? To make you strong').

• I'll carry your pain / Whenever you fall again

  ➔ Future Simple (will) for a promise/prediction and a Time Clause with 'whenever'

  ➔ The Future Simple with 'will' ("I'll carry") expresses a promise or a strong intention. 'Whenever' introduces a time clause, meaning 'every time that' or 'at any time that' you fall, this action will occur.

• I will help you stand

  ➔ Bare Infinitive after 'help'

  ➔ The verb 'help' can be followed by a bare infinitive (without 'to') or a 'to'-infinitive. Here, "stand" is a bare infinitive, indicating the action that is being assisted.

• Just reach out your hand

  ➔ Imperative Mood

  ➔ The imperative mood ("reach out") is used to give a direct command, instruction, or request. The subject 'you' is implied.

• When your world is dark / Or you're hurt in your heart

  ➔ Time/Conditional Clause with 'When' and Present Simple Passive Voice

  ➔ 'When' introduces a clause that can indicate both time ('at the time that') and condition ('if'). "you're hurt" is an example of the present simple passive voice (be + past participle), indicating that something is done to the subject.

• Come what may

  ➔ Fixed Expression / Idiomatic Phrase (Subjunctive-like)

  ➔ This is a fixed, idiomatic expression meaning 'whatever happens' or 'no matter what difficulties arise'. It functions like a concessive clause, indicating determination regardless of circumstances.

• Your hand is wrapped around my finger

  ➔ Present Simple Passive Voice

  ➔ The passive voice (subject + 'be' verb + past participle "is wrapped") is used when the action is more important than the agent, or when the agent is unknown/unimportant. Here, it describes the state of the hand.

• And until my final day / I will guide you

  ➔ Time Clause with 'until' and Future Simple

  ➔ 'Until' is a conjunction used to indicate the point in time when an action or state stops. The main clause uses the Future Simple ("I will guide") to express a future action that will continue up to that point.
