Traveling Miles
Cassandra Wilson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

出自迪士尼1937年動畫電影《白雪公主與七矮人》(Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs)
【前奏】
Some day my prince will come
Some day I'll find my love
And how thrilling a moment it will be
When the prince of my dreams comes for me

He'll whisper "I love you"
And steal a kiss or two...

Though he's far away
I'll find my love some day
When my dreams come true

【間奏】
Some day I'll find my love
Someone to call my own
And I'll know him the moment that we meet
For my heart will start skipping a beat

Some day we'll say and do
Things we've been longing to
Though he's far away
I'll find my love some day
When my dreams come true.
【尾奏】
