She may be the face I can't forget


The trace of pleasure or regret

,

(trace ', , ' . CBS 'Without a Trace ' . ' ' . 'without a trace' . "The baby girl disappeared without a trace from her bedroom." " ." .)
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay

,

('pay the price' ' , ' . "If you don't take care of your health now, you will have to pay the price when you are old." " , ." .

She may be the song that summer sings


May be the chill that autumn brings

(chill ', , ' . . chill 'send chills down someone's spine' . '~ , ' . "Just thinking about driving through the town at night sent chills down my spine." " ." . "Chill out." . . "Relax.", "Calm down." . . ".", "." .
May be a hundred different things

Within the measure of a day

( measure ' , ' . .)

She may be the beauty or the beast

,

(beauty ', , ' . ', ' . 'Beauty and the Beast' ' ' . . 1992 . , .)
May be the famine or the feast

May turn each day into a heaven or a hell

,
She may be the mirror of my dreams


The smile reflected in a stream


She may not be what she may seem


Inside her shell

(shell ' , ' . ', , ' . 'out of your shell' . ' ' ' ' . , . "Joining the drama group made Tom come out of his shell." " ." .)

She who always seems so happy in a crowd


Whose eyes can be so private and so proud

(private ', ' . , . "Some movie stars are very private." " ." . 'in private' 'in public' . ', , ' . "Tim Duncan, a basketball player for San Antonio Spurs, seems so serious in public, but he is a very funny person in private." " ." .

No one's allowed to see them when they cry

( ?)

She may be the love that cannot hope to last

( .)

May come to me from shadows of the past

That I'll remember till the day I die

'She', 1974 . 'The Seven Faces of Women ( )' . '' . . . . , , .

She may be the reason I survive


The why and wherefore I'm alive

(whereforewhy, '' ? . ' ' . "O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?" , ', , , ?" .)
The one I'll care for through the rough'nready years

,

('care for' '' . "I only care for you." " ." . '~ , ' . "Would you care for some coffee?" " ?" ? 'rough and ready years' rough years and ready years . rough years, ready years, , . 'rough and ready' . ', , ' . .)

Me I'll take her laughter and her tears

.

And make them all my souvenirs

(souvenir . "I would like to keep these seashells as souvenirs." " ." . "Kim Il Sung pins and Kim Jong Il pins are sold on the Chinese border as souvenirs to foreigners." " ." .)

For where she goes I've got to be

The meaning of my life is


She


She, oh she
