在这个世界既没有幸福也没有不幸，只是一种处境和另一种处境的比较，仅此而已，惟有经历过最大厄运磨难的人，才能感受到最大的乐趣。必须想到死的痛苦，才能懂得生的快乐。——《基督山伯爵》

Corrinne May，一个在新加坡出生却在异地的美国意外闯出名号，她感情丰沛的歌词，曾让许多离乡游子不禁地留下眼泪；她温暖却清澈透明的歌声，抚慰了在都会中早已失去方向的现代人；她浑然天成的创作才华更感动了民谣之母Carole King及超级制作人Babyface，她就是Corrinne May。中文名符美云。在新加坡出生，之后在1996年进入美国波士顿柏克利音乐学院就读，Corrinne May在求学期间就曾以优异的创作才华而连续两年获得校内的歌曲创作演唱大赏。毕业后就移居洛杉矶，专职音乐的创作，Corrinne除了为当地的电视台做一些连续剧的配乐工作外，也定期在Live House中演出为自己累积人气。

不过真正让Corrinne May在美国发光发亮的，则是参加了由超级制作人Babyface及戴维佛斯特发起的网络歌曲创作比赛的活动，并得到了优胜的头衔。而也因为这个契机，让Corrinne May认识了民谣之母Carole King，并促成了Corrinne May得以与Carole King共同创作的机会，才有了「If You Didn’t Love Me」这首歌曲的产生。

Corrinne May的才华不仅在美国受到肯定，在太平洋彼岸的亚洲，也以创作人的身份出现在不少的音乐专辑中。其中包括了蔡健雅演唱的「默契」、张韶涵演唱过的「Journey」，都是出自Corrinne之手。另外她的歌声也曾出现在由舒琪、莫文蔚以及赵薇所共同主演的电影「末路天使」中演唱电影主题曲「Close To You」。她还以优秀的文学基础结合东方特有的内敛情感，创作出首张全英文创作专辑《Fly Away》，以温暖的歌声和抒情的曲调，抚慰飘泊异乡游子的心灵。（网络整理）

歌词：
If I had only 24 hours to live
What would I do
What would I do
If I had only 24 hours to breathe
What would I say
What would I say

It's easy to lose track
It's tempting to look back
Fill our hearts with regret
For all we couldn't do
For all we should have done
But didn't take the time to
Well it's not too late
We've still got today

If I had only 24 hours to live
What would I do
What would I do
If I had only 24 hours to breathe
What would I say
What would I say

I'd give my love without holding back, holding back
I'd give my heart without keeping track of who would repay
This precious time, melting, oh, melting away.

I'm sick of all my pride
I'm sick of trying to hide
Denying what i know is true
These un-opened gifts
Will cease to exist
If I return them all un-used
Well it's not too late
I've still got today

If I had only 24 hours to live
What would I do
What would I do
If I had only 24 hours to breathe
What would I say
What would I say
I would take back every single harsh word that I said
I'd spend my time to hear your sweet, sweet, laughter again
I'd never leave your side with 24 hours to live

Oh, oh....

I'd hold you tight, and never stop kissing your face
I'd write love letters, and frame them up so time couldn't erase
I'd hope my love would see you through every step of the way

Oh, oh....
Every step of the way
Oh, oh....
Every step of the way.
