For Once In My Life
歌词:
[English]
For once in my life, I have someone who needs me
Someone I've needed so long
For once, unafraid, I can go where life leads me
Somehow I know I'll be strong
For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Ooh, someone warm like you
Would make my dreams come true
Yeah, yeah, yeah (For once in my life)
For once in my life, I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before (Not like it's hurt me before)
For once, I have something I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore (I'm not alone anymore)
For once I can say, "This is mine, you can't take it"
As long as I know I have love, I can make it
For once in my life, I have someone who needs me
(Someone who needs me)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah
(Someone who needs me)
Oh, I'm in love, baby
...
(For once in my life)
...
For once in my life (For once in my life)
I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before (Not like it's hurt me before)
For once, I have something I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore (I'm not alone anymore)
For once I can say, "This is mine, you can't take it"
As long as I know I have love, I can make it
For once in my life, I have someone who needs me
(Someone who needs me)
Oh, for once in my life
(Someone who needs me)
Yeah, somebody that needs me
(Someone who needs me)
Oh, baby, for once in my life
...

语法:
-
For once in my life, I have someone who needs me
➔ 关系从句（“需要我的”人）
➔ 这个句子使用一个关系从句，由关系代词“who”引导，来描述“someone”（某人）。从句“who needs me”修饰名词“someone”。这展示了复杂的句子结构。
-
Someone I've needed so long
➔ 现在完成时（“I've needed”）加上“so long”
➔ 现在完成时 “I’ve needed” 的使用强调了对这个人的需要从过去一直持续到现在。“so long” 强化了这种需要的持续时间，表明长期的渴望。倒装也很值得注意 (someone I've needed vs I've needed someone)。
-
For once, unafraid, I can go where life leads me
➔ 形容词用作副词 (“unafraid”)，从属子句 (“where life leads me”)
➔ “Unafraid” 用作副词，修饰动词 “go”，表明说话者可以去的方式。从属子句 “where life leads me” 充当地点状语从句，描述了说话者可以去的地方。
-
Not like it's hurt me before
➔ 省略（省略 “sorrow”），现在完成时 (“it's hurt”)
➔ 单词“sorrow”（悲伤）是隐含的，但没有明确说明。现在完成时 “it's hurt” 表明过去发生的一件事，并且与现在有关。
-
I have something I know won't desert me
➔ 关系从句（“I know”），一般将来时否定式 (“won't desert”)
➔ 子句“I know” 是一个充当括号的关系子句，添加了有关说话者如何知道此消息的信息。“Won't desert” 是 “will not desert” 的缩写，表达了对未来的强烈信念。
-
As long as I know I have love, I can make it
➔ 条件从句 (“只要我知道我拥有爱”)，情态动词 (“can make”)
➔ 短语“只要我知道我拥有爱” 引入了一个条件从句，该从句表达了说话者“make it”（成功）的必要条件。情态动词 “can” 表达能力或可能性。
