Whoever Finds This , I Love You
? ( 原唱： : Mac Davis , 1972)
ARRANGER : Martin Pereira
On the quiet street in the city
A little old man walked alone
Shuffing through the autumn afternoon
And the autumn leaves reminded him
Another summer's come and gone
He had a long long midnight ahead waiting for June
The among the leaves near an orphan's home
A piece of paper caught his eyes
And he stood to pick it up with trembling hands
And as he read the childish writing
The old man began to cry
'Cause the words burned inside him like a brand
" 'Whoever finds this , I love you
Whover finds this , I need you
I even got no one to talk to
So , whoever finds this , I love you "
Well , the old man's eyes searched the orphan's home
And came to rest upon a child
With her nose pressed up against the window pane
And the old man knew he'd found a friend at last
So he waved at her and smiled
And they both knew they'd spend the winter
Laughing at the rain
And they did spend the winter laughing at the rain
Talking through the fence
Exchanging little gifts they've made for each other
The old man wold carve toys
And the little girl would draw pictures fo beautiful ladies
And they laughed a lot
But then one day, on the first of June
The lttle girl ran to the fence -- the old man wasn't there.
And , somehow she knew he was never coming beck
So she went back to her lttle room , took a crayon
And wrote :
" 'Whoever finds this , I love you
Whover finds this , I need you
I even got no one to talk to
So , whoever finds this , I love you "作者: blueblue 时间: 2006-1-14 05:43:13
没有找到Mac davic资料，在猫王的资料中有以下描述：
具有讽刺意味的是从普雷斯利自1960年开始的下降趋势中可以看出他在作品选择中倾向于商业化程度较低的音乐，而不是他以前的歌曲。他早期录制黑人音乐的做法一直持续到70年代。他分别于1958年和1973年录制了艾弗里.乔.亨特(Ivory Joe Hunter)的歌曲，而他服役之后的唱片中包括了选自诸如查克.杰克逊(Chuck Jackson)、利特尔.沃尔特(Little Walter)、O.C.史密斯(O. C. Smith)、“航海者”(Coasters)、杰里.巴特勒(Jerry Butler)、凯蒂.莱斯特(Ketty Lester)、查克.贝里(Chuck Berry)、“车轴草”(Clovers)、“流浪者”(Drifters)、鲁弗斯.托马斯(Rufus Thomas)、威利.狄克逊(Willie Dixon)等音乐家的作品，此外，普雷斯利还演唱了新一代南部作家的作品，例如杰里.里德(Jerry Reed)的“吉他手”(Guitar Man)、麦克.戴维斯(Mac Davis)的“在贫民区”(In the Ghetto)、托尼.乔.怀特(Tony Joe White)的“Polk Salad Annie”和丹尼斯.林德(Dennis Linde)的“炽烈的爱”(Burning Love)。作者: 小玖 时间: 2006-1-15 18:55:29
