When translating from one language to another, there's never an exact word-for-word match-up, and much is left to the decisions and artistic interpretation of the translator. That's why I appreciate that Stephen Torrence includes an ASL gloss of the English lyrics in the sidebar on YouTube.

But, for some reason, he doesn't include appostrophes or periods; and I think it's easier for me, personally, if there are spaces between the ASL (by convention, glossed in Capslock and hyphen) and the next line in English. So I've reproduced them under the cut.
