For once in my life |
夜 ジャズチャンネルをつける
ピアノトリオがゆーっくりとした brush のリズムに乗って
この曲をさざみのように奏でている
風のない夕暮れのセーヌの川面を見るような印象だ
よく聞いていたトニー・ベネットの圧倒的な歌を思い出し 何人かを聞き比べてみる
やはりカーネギー・ホールのトニー・ベネットとスティーヴィー・ワンダーのデュエットが最高
まるでそうなるために これまで歌ってきたかのような熟し方だ
こんな歳の取り方ができれば C'est parfait ! ・・・なのだろう
"For once in my life" by Ron Miller and Orlando Murden
Tony Bennett (1968)

For once in my life I have someone who needs me
Someone I've needed so long
For once, unafraid, I can go where life leads me
Somehow I know I'll be strong
For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Someone warm like you
Would make my dream come true
For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it hurt me before
For once, I have something I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore
For once, I can say, this is mine, you can't take it
As long as I know I have love, I can make it
For once in my life, I have someone who needs me
For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it hurt me before
For once, I have something I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore
For once, I can say, this is mine, you can't take it
Long as I know I have love, I can make it
For once in my life, I have someone who needs me
