好歌同享 -- Crying

Roy Orbison，不是一個那麼熟悉的名字，但是在1990年由李察基爾和茱莉亞羅拔絲主演之電影，《風月俏佳人》的主題曲“Oh, Pretty Woman”卻有不少人懂得，原曲是六十年代的作品，他正是這首歌的原作兼原唱者；Roy Orbison，能寫、能唱，是典型的唱作人「前輩」，除了“Oh, Pretty Woman”之外，作品中還有“Blue Bayou”、“Crying”、“Only the Lonely”等好歌，而 Linda Ronstadt、Don McLean 等後來之歌手，亦因為翻唱他這些名作而得到很好的成績。
創作，其實是一件很困難的事，創作出好的作品而又令人接受，是一件更困難的事，但他卻擁有那麼多；就讓我們用“Crying”，這來自他手中的作品，向這位已逝去多年之出色唱作人 ...... 致敬！


Crying
Roy Orbison

I was all right for a while, I could smile for a while
But I saw you last night, you held my hand so tight
When you stopped to say "Hello"
You wished me well, you couldn’t tell

That I’ve been crying over you, crying over you
Then you said "so long", left me standing all alone
Alone and crying, crying, crying, crying
It’s hard to understand but the touch of your hand
Can start me crying

I thought that I was over you but it’s true, so true
I love you even more than I did before but darling, what can I do?
For you don’t love me and I’ll always be

Crying over you, crying over you
Yes, now you’re gone and from this moment on
I’ll be crying, crying, crying, crying
Yeah, crying, crying over you
