英语美文：假如我能留住彩虹

 　如果我能留住彩虹，我将只为你一个人挽留，在你感到忧伤的日子，与你分享它的美丽；如果我能建造大山，你尽可把它当成自己宁静的港湾，独处的空间……

　　If I could catch a rainbow

　　I would do it just for you

　　And share with its beauty

　　On the days you're feeling blue.

　　If I could build a mountain

　　You could call your very own

　　A place to find serenity¹

　　A place to be alone.

　　If I could take your troubles

　　I would toss them into the sea

　　But all these things I'm finding

　　Are impossible for me.

　　I cannot build a mountain

　　Or catch a rainbow fair

　　But let me be what I know best

　　A friend that's always there.
