A ray of hope, flickers in the sky
A tiny star lights up way up high
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born
阿曙光，在天空中閃爍
小小的星高高亮起
橫跨整個大地，迎來了嶄新的黎明
這全是因為一個小孩的誕生
The silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds of change whisper in the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble toss and torn
This comes to pass when a child is born
沉默的願望帆過七海
變革之風在樹林中低語
和牆壁的疑問和蹂躪折騰崩潰
這全是因為一個小孩的誕生
A rosy hue settles all around
You get the feel, you're on solid ground
Hm-for a spell or two no one seems for lorn
This comes to pass when a child is born
And all of this happens because the world is waiting
Waitin' for one child, black, white, yellow, no one knows
But the child that will grow up and turn tears to laughter
Hate to love, war to peace and everyone to everyone's
Neighbour and misery and suffering will be worth to
Be forgotten - forever
It's all a dream an illusion now
It must come true sometime soon, some how
Hm- All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born
By The Time I Get To Phoenix - Isaac Hayes Ahh
Yeah
Mmm
I’m talking ’bout the power of love now
I’m gonna tell you what love can do
You know, when they say love makes the world go ’round
That’s the truth
Love can make you or break you
It can make you laugh, it can make you cry
It can make you happy, it can make you sad
And if you’re hung out real bad in the case of jealousy,
love can make you mad
Oh yeah
Everybody, everybody’s got his own thing
Everybody’s got his way
Of doing a thing
Now, we shall attempt to do a tune
That’s very popular
That was written by one of the great young songwriters of today
Now, I don’t know what he was thinking about when he started to write this tune
But it’s a deep tune
There’s a deep meaning to this tune
Because it shows you what the power of love can do
I shall attempt to do it my way
My own interpretation of it
Like I say, everybody got his own thing
I’m gonna bring it on down for you
Now, I want you to bear along with me for a few minutes while I set it up
I want your imagination, I want you to travel with me
Oh, come on, come on
This young man was raised in the hills of Tennessee
When he reached the age of maturity he moved to the West Coast
And he fell in love when he got out there
To this young girl
Oh man, she was outta sight
She was BAD
And they started dating
And then the inevitable
They became engaged and married
Mmm
They were HAPPILY married
That’s right, they lived in LA
Ohh
The power of love was upon them
But you see girls, I don’t mean to come down on ya
But this man loved this woman so
You know, they say love is blind
He could see no wrong
No no no
He worked every day
And sometimes he’d pull overtime
Double-time
TRIPLE-TIME
He bought anything that this woman’s heart desired
Anything he could rake and scrape
He spent his last dime on her because he loved her
But girls, sometimes you can take love and kindness for weakness
And she took it for granted
She said, “I got a fool and I KNOW I got a fool”
“I got a good thing”
Yeah, she was standing around on the corner
You understand me?
She’d go to the beauty salon and get her hair fixed
She’d go shopping
And she would BRAG about her good thing that she’s got
Yeah
And she tripped out on him too
Not gonna believe what she told him, no way
Fool
Oh yeah girls, you can be like that sometimes
But one day, one day
The old boy got sick
And he had to come home
I don’t have to tell you what he found
Oh, it hurt him so bad
He said, “Baby, Mama, WHY?”
That’s all he could say
That’s ALL he could say
He was hurt
But she said, “Oh, go on fool, the man weren’t doing it”
That’s the only excuse she could give him
He said, “Mama, I can’t take it, I got to leave you. I’m gonna LEAVE ya”
He packed his bag and he started out the door
And when he reached the driveway, you understand
He put down his bag and he said, “Oh Mama, Mama, Mama, can I change my mind?”
You see, the power of LOVE was upon him
And he came back
Oh, yes he did
Well, she tried to straighten up,
She said she was gonna straighten up
She got a job
But that was just a shame
Because he found out again AND again
And SEVEN times he left this woman
And seven times he came back
But you know, the heart can take so much
That’s right
You can only kick a dog around for so long
And the dog’ll get tired and turn
And he took all that he could stand
And the EIGHTH time that this went down, he said, “Mama, I gotta go”
With tears in his eyes
He said, “I’m gonna leave you baby”
He said, “I ain’t coming back”
He said, “I’m leaving my heart right here! But I gotta go”
You see, cause this man can’t take no more
She didn’t believe it
He packed his clothes
He got in his 1965 Ford
He started out
And three times he started to turn back before he reached the outskirts of the city
But he kept on going
Ahh, I don’t wanna go, but I gotta
Mama, mama
And he’s going down the highway
I guess it was around 3.30 in the morning
He could hardly see the road for the tears in his eyes
That’s right, he was crying
They were meeting on his chin
He could barely see the signs at the side of the road
The next town, 25 miles away
And these very words came into his mind
He said,
By the time I get to Phoenix she’ll be rising
She’ll find the note I left hangin’ on her door
She’ll laugh when she reads the part that says I’m
leavin’
‘Cause I’ve left that girl so many times before
By the time I make Albuquerque she’ll be working
She’ll prob’ly stop at lunch and give me a call
But she’ll just hear that phone keep on ringin’
Off the wall that’s all
By the time I make Oklahoma she’ll be sleepin’
She’ll turn softly and call my name out loud
And she’ll cry just to think I’d really leave her
Tho’ time and time I try to tell her so
She just didn’t know I would really go.
Ahh
(speech)
I remember quite clearly now when this story happened
The autumn leaves were floating and measured down to the ground
Recovering the lake where we used to swim like children
On the sun would dare to shine
That time we used to be happy But, I thought we were...
But the truth was that - you had been longing to leave me
Not daring to tell me
On that precious night watching the lake vaguely conscious
You said : our story was ending
Now I'm standing here no one to wipe away my tears
No one to keep me warm and no one to walk along with
No one to make me feel no one to make me hope
Oh ! what am I to do ?
I'm standing here alone it doesn't seem so clear to me
What am I supposed to do about this burning heart of mine
On what am I to do,
Or how should I react ? oh tell me please !
(speech)
The rain was killing the last days of summer
You had been killing my last breath of love
Since a long time ago..
I still don't think I'm gonna make it through another love story
You took it all away from me
And there I stand , I knew I was gonna be the...
The one left behind
But still I'm watching the lake vaguely conscious
And I know - my life is ending
Now I'm standing here no one to wipe away my tears
No one to keep me warm and no one to walk along with
No one to make me feel no one to make me hope
Oh ! what am I to do ?
I'm standing here alone it doesn't seem so clear to me
What am I supposed to do about this burning heart of mine
On what am I to do,
Or how should I react ? oh tell me please !
(You're My) Soul And Inspiration - The Righteous Brothers
Lyric & Music: Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil
Girl, I can't let you do this
Let you walk away
Girl, how can I live through this
When you're all I wake up for each day?
Baby, you're my soul and my heart's inspiration
You're all I've got to get me by
You're my soul and my heart's inspiration
Without you baby, what good am I?
I never had much goin'
But at least I had you
How can you walk out knowin'
I ain't got nothin' left if you do?
Baby, you're my soul and my heart's inspiration
You're all I've got to get me by
You're my soul and my heart's inspiration
Without you baby, what good am I, oh what good am I?
[Spoken:] Baby, I can't make it withoutcha. And I'm, I'm tellin' ya, honey-you're my
reason for laughin', for cryin', for livin', and for dyin'.
Baby, I can't make it without you
Please, I'm begging you baby
If you go it will kill me
I swear it, Dear, my love can't bear it
You're my soul and my heart's inspiration
You're all I've got to get me by
You're my soul and my heart's inspiration
Without you baby, what good am I, what good am I?
(Talking)This goes out to someone that was
Once the most important person in my life
I didn’t realize it at the time
I can’t forgive myself for the way I treated you so
I don’t really expect you to either
It’s just... I don’t even know
Just listen…
You’re the one that I like, the one that I need
The one that I gotta have just to succeed
When I first saw you, I knew it was real
I’m sorry about the pain I made you feel
That wasn’t me; let me show you the way
I looked for the sun, but it’s raining today
I remember when I first looked into your eyes
It was like God was there, heaven in the skies
I wore a disguise \'cause I didn’t want to get hurt
But I didn’t know I made everything worse
You told me we were crazy in love
But you didn’t care when push came to shove
If you loved me as much as you said you did
Then you wouldn’t have hurt me like I ain’t shit
Now you pushed me away like you never even knew me
I loved you with my heart, really and trul
I guess you forgot about the times that we shared
When I would run my fingers through your hair
Late nights, just holding you in my arms
I don’t know how I could do you so wrong
I really wanna show you I really need to hold you
I really wanna know you like no one could else know you
you are number one, always in my heart
And now I can’t believe that our love is torn apart
I need you and
I miss you and
I want you and
I love you ‘cause
I wanna hold you,
I wanna kiss you
You were my everything
And I really miss you x2 (Chorus)
I knew you gonna sit and play this with your new man
And then sit and laugh as you’re holding his hand
The thought of that just shatters my heart
It breaks in my soul and it tears me apart
At times we was off I was scared to show you
Now I wanna hold you until I can’t hold you
Without you, everything seems strange
Your name is forever planted in my brain
Damn it, I’m insane,
Take away the pain
Take away the hurt
Baby, we can make it work
What about when you
Looked into my eyes
Told me you loved me
As you would hugged me
I guess everything you said was a lie
I think about it, it brings tears to my eyes
Now I’m not even a thought in your mind
I can see clearly, my love is not blind
(Chorus)x2
(Talking) I just wish everything could have turned out differently
I had a special feeling about you
I thought maybe you did too
You would understand, but…
No matter what, you’ll always be in my heart
You’ll always be my baby
Our first day, it seemed so magical
I remember all the time that I had with you
Remember when you first came to my house?
You looked like an angel wearing that blouse
We hit it off, I knew it was real
But now I can’t take all the pain that I feel
Reach in your heart, I know I’m still there
I don’t wanna hear that you no longer care
Remember the times? Remember when we kissed?
I didn’t think you would ever do me like this
I didn’t think you’d wanna see me depressed
I thought you’d be there for me, this I confess
You said you were my best friend, was that a lie?
Now I’m nothing to you, you’re with another guy
I tried, I tried, I tried, and I’m trying
Now on the inside it feels like I’m dying
(Chorus)x2
(Talking) And I do miss you
I just thought we were meant to be
I guess now, we’ll never know
The only thing I want is for you to be happy
Whether it be with me, or without me
I just want you to be happy
When so many are lonely as seem to be lonely, it'd be inexcusably selfish to be lonely alone.
Tennessee Williams
Try To Remember/The Way We Were - Gladys Knight & The Pips Hey you know everybody's talkin' about the good old days
Everybody the good old days
The good old days
Well, let's talk about the good old days
Come to think about it
As bad as we think they are
These will become the good old days of our children
Why don't we try to remember
The kind of September
When life was slow and oh so mellow
Try to remember
And if you remember
Then follow
Why does it always seem the past is better
We look back and think
The winters were warmer
The grass was greener
The skies were bluer
The smiles were brighter
SING .............
Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
And if we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me
Would we?
Could we?
Memories like the corners of my mind
Memories
Misty watercolor memories
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were
Oh can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
And if we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me
Would we?
Could we?
Memories may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter we'll remember
We'll remember
Whenever we remember
The Way We Were...
