很轻快的You are my sunshine来自于反光镜乐队，下面我们再来分享男女合唱版本，我认为这个版本听起来很优雅、浪漫、也很悠闲，不知道您对于这样的版本又有什么样的感觉呢？我们继续下面的学习。

亲爱的，当我醒来的时候，我发现我错了。我低下头来，哭泣不止。
Hang 悬挂，低垂
I'll hang the pictures as high as I can.
我将尽可能把这些画挂得很高。
Hang的过去式是歌词中的hung。Hung my head指“低下头”。

有一次你告诉我，你真的很爱我，没有其他人能阻碍在其间。但是现在你离开我爱上了其他人,你破碎了我的梦。
1. come between 在…中间； 离间； 妨碍。
