Is this ASL translation on the right track?

Okay, I'm putting this out there for all of you to see. I just want to know if I'm on the right track with the ASL translation here...

Now, keep in mind the person who asked me to do this might be speaking the words as she signs them, so I have not done strict ASL grammar, but I've done more of a PSE. Also, I have changed a few of the words to find a sign that still fits. This is from the ending of the MJ song, "Will You Be There?".
Thanks in advance...
---------------
[the regular typing is the lyrics, the signs are in ALL CAPS]

In Our Darkest Hour IN OUR VERY DARK HOUR

In My Deepest Despair MY DEEP DESPAIR

Will You Still Care? WILL YOU STILL CARE?

Will You Be There? WILL YOU STAY?

In My Trials IN MY DIFFICULT

And My Tribulations AND TROUBLE

Through Our Doubts THROUGH OUR DOUBTS

And Frustrations AND FRUSTRATIONS

In My Violence IN MY RAGE

In My Turbulence MY CONFUSION

Through My Fear THROUGH MY FEAR

And My Confessions AND CONFESSIONS

In My Anguish And My Pain IN MY SUFFER AND PAIN

Through My Joy And My Sorrow THROUGH MY JOY AND SORROW

In The Promise Of Another Tomorrow IN PROMISE OF EVERY DAY

I'll Never Let You Part I NEVER LET YOU [DETACH]

For You're Always In My Heart. YOU ALWAYS IN MY HEART
----------------------
Please be gentle... I'm still learning.

God Bless,
Lauren

I've only known ASL for 4 years, but I noticed there were no replies. So why not! This is how I would do it...




OUR DARK HOUR

I/MY TRUE SAD

YOU STILL/CONTINUE CARE?

STAY YOU?

MY PAIN

HARD TIME

OUR DOUBT

FRUSTRATION

MY ANGER

MY CONFUSION

MY FEAR

MY CONFESSION

EMOTION PHYSICAL PAIN (I would get rid of anguish just because it's pretty much the same as pain)

MY HAPPY (shift positions) MY SAD

PROMISE EVERYDAY or PROMISE ANOTHER DAY

ALLOW (use connection sign and detach thumb and index fingers) NEVER (the negation usually goes at the end)

FOREVER HEART IN (I would sign "in" over my heart)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


That's just my interpretation of it, of course. It can mean different things to different people. Hope this helped. Feel free to message me if you ever need anymore help!

No problem! Is anyone going to record this person signing? I'd love to see it.

I'll be signing it. A friend asked me to record a video for her of how to sign this part of the song... she wants to use the words in her wedding vows. I just wanted to make sure I was doing it right. :O)

Thanks for your help! :O)

God Bless,
Lauren
