But You Didn't
Remember the day I borrowed your brand-new car and dented it?
I thought you'd kill me,but you didn't.
And remember the time I dragged you to the beach,
and you said it would rain,and it did?
I thought you'd say,“I told you so.”But you didn't.
Do you remember the time I flirted with all
the guys to make you jealous,and you were?
I thought you'd leave,but you didn't.
Do you remember the time I spilled strawberry pie
all over your car rug?
I thought you'd hit me,but you didn't.
And remember the time I forgot to tell you the dance
was formal and you showed up in jeans?
I thought you'd drop me,but you didn't.
Yes,there were lots of things you didn't do.
But you put up with me,and loved me,and protected me.
There were lots of things I wanted to make up to you
when you returned from Vietnam.
But you didn't.
但你没有……
还记得吗?那天我借用你的新车,
结果把车子撞出了凹痕?
我以为你会杀了我,但你没有。
还记得吗?那次我硬拉着你去海滩,
你说会下雨的,结果真下了雨?
我以为你会说“看吧,我就说嘛”,但你没有。
还记得吗?那天我和所有的男孩子调情来惹你吃醋,
然后你真的吃醋了?
我以为你会离开我,但你没有。
还记得吗?那天在你的车子里
我把草莓派弄洒了?
我以为你会打我,但你没有。
还记得吗?那天我忘了告诉你那个舞会是要穿礼服的,
结果你穿着牛仔裤亮相了?
我以为你会甩了我,但你没有。
是的,有太多事情你都没做,
但你一直迁就我、爱我、保护我。
我会做很多事情来报答你,
只要你一从越南回来。
但你没有。
