澳洲歌壇天后［奧莉薇亞．紐頓-強］──鄉村流行經典──［If You Love Me, Let Me Know／假如你愛我, 讓我知道］

(j. rostill)

You came when i was happy in your sunshine
I grew to love you more each passing day
Before too long i built my world around you
And i prayed youd love enough of me to stay

If you love me let me know
If you dont then let me go
I cant take another minute
Of a day without you in it
If you love me let it be
If you dont then set me free
Take the chains away
That keep me loving you

The arms that open wide to hold me closer
The hands that run their fingers through my hair
The smile that says "hello, its good to see you"
Anytime i turn around to find you there

Its this and so much more tht make me love you
What else can i do to make you see
You know you have whatevers mine to give you
But a love affair for one can never be

If you love me let me know
If you dont then let me go
I cant take another minute
Of a day without you in it
If you love me let it be
If you dont then set me free
Take the chains away
That keep me loving you
Take the chains away
That keep me loving you
Loving you

１９７４年２月　２５歲半的澳／英籍歌壇巨星奧莉薇亞．紐頓-強（Olivia Newton-John）在北美推出專輯［If You Love Me, Let Me Know］

除標題曲為新歌之外

其它歌曲主要來自［Olivia ］(1972), ［Music Makes My Day］ (1973)［Long Live Love ］(1974)──這幾張大碟先前只在歐洲與澳大利亞出版

專輯由John Farrar與奧莉薇亞男友 Bruce Welch製作

獲得良好評價

商業成功  登上Billboard 專輯后座 成為紐頓-強首張拿到美國流行榜冠軍的大碟

至於副榜──鄉村專輯榜則是二度封后

同名歌曲［If You Love Me, Let Me Know／假如你愛我, 讓我知道］為首波主打

由John Rostill譜寫　John Farrar製作

是首輕快的鄉村流行曲　旋律討好

［If You Love Me, Let Me Know］廣受歡迎, 登上美國Billboard單曲榜＃５　銷售逾百萬張　為紐頓-強拿到第二張金唱片　１９７４年終排行＃３２

副榜──鄉村榜亞軍──這是奧莉薇亞在此榜最高名次

Easy Listening榜亞軍

加拿大榜冠軍（年終＃６０）　澳洲榜亞軍（年終＃４０）　紐西蘭＃１０　德國＃３７

［If You Love Me, Let Me Know］提名美國鄉村樂協會獎（CMA）年度單曲, 年度專輯

接下來大碟第二主打［I Honestly Love You］拿到Billboard單曲榜冠軍

這讓奧莉薇亞成為１９７４年Billboard流行榜年度女藝人

連續兩佳績也成為當時美國歌壇最熱門的鄉村跨界女歌手
