If I had to live my life without you near me The days would all be empty The nights would seem so long And with you I see forever oh so clearly I might have been in love before But it never felt this strong Our dreams are young and we both know They'll take us where we want to go Hold me now, touch me now I don't want to live without you
*Nothing's gonna change my love for you You ought to know by now how much I love you One thing you can be sure of I'll never ask for more than your love Nothing's gonna change my love for you You ought to know by now how much I love you You'll only change my whole life through Nothing's gonna change my love for you
If the road ahead is not so easy Our love will lead a way for us Like a guiding star I'll be there for you if you should need me You don't have to change a thing I love you just the way you are So come with me and share the view I'll help you see forever too Hold me now, touch me now I don't want to live without you
一首歌好不好聽,編曲和演唱者是否能真正挖掘出這首歌的潛力,佔很重要的因素。桃麗芭頓(Dolly Parton)的鄉村冠軍曲" I will always love you "經惠妮休斯頓的翻唱,搖身一變成為名聞全球的抒情經典。
葛倫麥德羅斯的" Nothing's gonna change my love for you "也是相同的情形,原唱兼作曲者的喬治班森(George Benson)是位黑人爵士樂手,若非經由葛倫麥德羅斯的翻唱,這首歌不會受到廣大樂迷的迴響。喬治班森還有一首著名的作品" Greatest love of all ",被惠妮休斯頓慧眼看上,而介紹給全世界的歌迷,否則這首好歌將只能躲在喬治班森的專輯中,乏人問津。
