i couldn't sleep last night there was something on my mind i lay there wishing in the dark someone could tell me why if you love somebody from the bottom of your heart why do you hurt each other how does it fall apart?
an' then i heard a voice as she sat down on my bed and i can still remember the words my mama said
chorus:
love can give, love can take
love can bend and love can break
when you think it's over, it's not the end
don't give in, just be strong
and please remember son, my mama said
there aren't no broken heart love cannot mend
my mama said, no one knows what your life has got in store you may go walking on the moon you may be rich or poor but i know for certain if you try to reach the stars anything is possible your dreams are what you are
but when it comes to matters of the heart there is no guarantees all that i can say to you is what my mama said to me
chorus: so one day in my lifetime when my world falls apart i won't cry, i'll just tell my heart my heart

全名:Declan John Galbraith 生日:1991年12月19日 星座:射手座 出生地:英国 成长地:爱尔兰
Declan Galbraith从4岁开始展露歌唱天赋,8岁那年,他开始参加一些音乐比赛,并在14个月中获得了16个大奖。同时他也获得了词作家Barry Mason(写过Last Waltz-最后的华尔兹的作者)的欣赏,从此一发不可收拾。我们听到的这首「Walking In The Air」录制于2001年,那时候他才9岁。据传有好几家唱片公司争相与他签约,最后EMI(百代)以超过百万英镑之巨,签了他3年,并承诺发行3张唱片。 大家都相信这个小男孩的音乐天赋和对爱尔兰传统音乐的理解及热爱,来自他的祖父Ben。才6个星期左右,就是Ben照顾他了。Ben常常在酒吧演奏六孔笛和爱尔兰鼓,并常常带上他,Declan从小就耳濡目染。祖父于1996年去世,可是Declan忘不了他,他的第一张专辑《Declan》就是献给他祖父的。 Declan的声音,清亮脱俗,演唱歌曲的范畴也是极广。从流行的「Angels」之类到「Carrickfergus」这样传统的爱尔兰歌曲,他都把握得不错。而这个小小童星的心愿却是有一天能够不再翻唱别人的歌曲,能有几首属于“Declan Galbraith”的歌。 除了天使般的声音,Declan小小年纪,已经表现星探们热衷的所谓“明星气质”—— 一头松软的深色头发,浓密的睫毛,明亮清澈的橄榄绿眼睛,充满童真颇富感染力的笑容,还有满满的自信。更重要的是,他从不怯场,每次上台都异常兴奋。应该说,也有过一次紧张,那是在圣保罗大教堂为女王献唱的演出上。曾为Robbie Williams和Phil Collins制作MTV的John Carver十分有信心的说,“Declan注定要成为一个超级巨星的,不仅是因为他超群的声音,更重要的是他极好的个性,他非常聪明。”
