ONLY HEAVEN KNOWS

2-3 hari yang lalu, saya dikejutkan dengan lirik lagu satu ini. Lagu ini memang telah lama saya ketahui, namun telah lama pula tidak saya dengar. Dan lucunya, lagu ini muncul ketika perasaan dan kata hatiku berucap sama seperti lirik di lagu ini. Memang aku tidak bisa membohongi 'tuhan', yang telah berucap melalui lagu ini.

She's always on my mind
From the time I wake up 'til I close my eyes
She's everywhere I go
She's all I know

And though she's so far away
It just keeps gettin' stronger everyday
And even now she's gone
I'm still holding on
So tell me where do I start
'Cause it's breaking my heart
Don't wanna let her go

Maybe my love will come back some day
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
Only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
'Cause heaven knows

My friends keep tellin' me
That if you really love her
You've gotta set her free
And if she returns in kind
I'll know she's mine
So tell me where do I start
'Cause it's breakin' my heart
Don't wanna let her go

Maybe my love will come back some day
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
Only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
'Cause heaven knows

Why I live in despair
'Cause wide awake or dreaming
I know she's never there
And all this time I act so brave
I'm shaking inside
Why does it hurt me so

Maybe my love will come back some day
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
Only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray

Maybe my love will come back some day
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
Only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
'Cause heaven knows
Heaven knows
Heaven knows

Terima kasih untuk Rick Price dengan suara dan gaya vokalnya yang khas. Selain itu, satu lagu lain darinya - 'If You Were My Baby' juga turut menghanyutkan perasaanku. Gaya akustik yang selalu kusukai, ditambah vokal indahnya dan liriknya tentunya. Aku akan mengingat kedua lagu ini selalu...

I could dream my life away
What would I care anyway
It'd be so fine
If you were my baby

I'd be walking ten feet tall
With your love, girl
Why should I worry at all
If you were my baby

I'd never be lonely
If you were my only love
If you were my baby
I'd take my last breath
Before I would let you go
And I promise I'd love you forever and ever
If you were my baby

We'd go walking late at night
Count the starts up in the sky
Just you and me
If you were my baby

Stop to kiss under a tree
Listen to the sound of the whispering breeze
If you were my baby

I'd never be lonely
If you were my only love
If you were my baby
I'd take my last breath
Before I would let you go
And I promise I'd love you forever and ever
If you were my baby

Oh, how wonderful life would be
If you'd give your love to me
Just to hold you endlessly
Is all I'd ever need

I'd never be lonely
If you were my only love
If you were my baby
I'd take my last breath
Before I would let you go
And I promise I'd love you forever and ever
If you were my baby
Oh, if you were my baby
If you were my baby
