Artist：Westlife
Album：Where we are
Style：Pop
Shadows fill an empty heart
As love is fading,
From all the things that we are
But are not saying.
Can we see beyond the scars
And make it to the dawn?
Change the colors of the sky.
And open up to
The ways you made me feel alive,
The ways I loved you.
For all the things that never died,
To make it through the night,
Love will find you.
What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?
The sun is breaking in your eyes
To start a new day.
This broken heart can still survive
With a touch of your grace.
Shadows fade into the light.
I am by your side,
Where love will find you.
What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love, it never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?
Now that we're here,
Now that we've come this far,
Just hold on.
There is nothing to fear,
For I am right beside you.
For all my life,
I am yours.
What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
Baby, before it's too late,
Baby, before it's too late
What about now?

中文歌词
歌曲：那么现在呢
歌手：西城男孩
专辑：我们所在的地方
风格：流行
空虚的心被阴影填满
因为爱已经褪色
我们经历的所有
都已经沉默不语
我们能穿越那些伤疤
而让曙光降临么？
改变天空的颜色
敞开胸怀
接受那些你让我觉得我还活着的方式
接受我爱你的方式
爱永远不会磨灭
它能让你穿越无尽的黑暗
爱会找到你
那么现在呢
今天该怎么办呢
如果你让我成为我曾经想成为的那个人会怎么样呢?
如果我们的爱永远不会离去呢？
如果我们再也未能发现那些未曾说出口的话语呢？
宝贝，在一切都太迟之前
现在该怎么做呢？
那道从你眼中闪耀出的光芒
开启了新的一天
这颗破碎了的心依然可以存活
只需你赐给我一丝慈悲
阴影隐进光芒里，
而我在你身边
在爱可以找到你的地方
那么现在呢
那么今天呢
如果你让我成为我曾经想成为的那个人会怎么样呢?
如果我们的爱永远不会离去呢？
如果我们再也找不到那些未曾说出口的话语呢？
宝贝，在一切都太迟之前
现在该怎么做呢
现在我们都在这里
现在我们都已经跋涉了这么远
你能做的只是再坚持一下
没什么值得畏惧的
因为我一直在你左右
我毕生之年都会这样呆在你身边
我是属于你的
那么现在呢
那么今天呢
如果你让我成为我曾经想成为的那个人会怎么样呢?
如果我们的爱永远不会离去呢？
如果我们再也未能发现那些未曾说出口的话语呢？
那么现在呢？
那么今天呢？
如果你让我成为我曾经想成为的那个人会怎么样呢?
如果我们的爱永远不会离去呢？
如果我们再也找不到那些未曾说出口的话语呢？
宝贝，在一切都太晚之前
宝贝，在一切都太晚之前
宝贝，在一切都太晚之前
现在该怎么做呢？
