英國白人靈魂歌姬［達絲蒂．史賓絲菲爾］──成人流行抒情曲──［Give Me Time／給我時間］

If youll only give me time

All the heartache that he left behind

Will fade from my mind

Ill be free to love again

If youll only give me time

Ill forget I even knew his name

Forget that he came

Ill be no good till I can

Try to understand

But when Im sure I need him no more

Thats when Ill reach out for your hand

So darling give me time

And you will see that im

Ready to love you

Just as you love me

Wait awhile

til I can find my smile

And Ill be yours for as long as I live

If youll only give me time, yeah

So darling give me time

And you will see that im

Ready to love you

Just as you love me, oh

Wait awhile

til I can find my smile

And Ill be yours for as long as I live

If youll only give me time

Songwriters: TOMMASI, AMEDEO / MELFA, PIETRO / DERCOLE, GIULIO / MORINA, ALBERTO

１９６７年　２８歲的英國白人靈魂歌姬達絲蒂．史賓絲菲爾（Dusty Springfield）發行單曲［Give Me Time／給我時間］

此曲由Pietro Melfa, Amadeo Tommasi, Alberto Marina, Peter Callander)譜寫

Johnny Franz, Jerry Ragovoy製作成一首緩慢的成人流行抒情曲

達絲蒂沙軟嗓音的詮釋逐漸將聽眾帶入她編織的情感世界中

［Give Me Time］登上英國榜＃２４

比較特別的是B面單曲選擇［The Look of Love／愛的容顏］

此曲為達絲蒂搞笑喜劇版詹姆士龐德電影［Casino Royale］原聲帶演唱的插曲

後者曾登上美國榜＃２２　是史賓絲菲爾最著名的歌曲之一

但Phillip卻決定不在英國主打, 而收錄達絲蒂在倫敦重新灌錄的版本

［Give Me Time］也登上加拿大＃２６

美國單曲榜＃７６（副榜──Easy Listening榜＃３１）

後來［Give Me Time］與［The Look of Love］收在１９６７年底史賓絲菲爾於美國出版的第五張大碟［The Look of Love］（六首歌出自１９６７年初於英國推出的第三張大碟［Where Am I Going?］）──後者在美國榜拿下＃１３５
