美國實力歌姬［貝蒂蜜勒］＆［梅莉史翠普］的交集──流行抒情佳作──動人的［My One True Friend／我的真朋友］

And now, is it too late to say

How you made my life so different in your quiet way?

I can see the joy in simple things,

A sunlit sky and all the songs we used to sing.

I have walked and I have I prayed.

I could forgive and we could start again.

In the end,

You are my one true friend.

For all, all the times you closed your eyes,

Allowing me to stumble or to be surprised,

By life, with all its twists and turns.

I made mistakes, you always knew that I would learn.

And when I left, its you who stayed.

You always knew that Id come home again.

In the end,

You are my one true friend.

Though love may break, it never dies.

It changes shape, through changing eyes.

What I denied, I now can see.

You always were the light inside of me.

I know, I know, I know, I know it was you.

I have walked and I have I prayed.

I could forgive and we could start again.

In the end, you are my one true friend.

My one true friend.

I always, always knew,

I always knew that it was you,

My one true friend.

Songwriters: CAROLE BAYER SAGER, CAROLE KING, DAVID FOSTER

１９９８年９月　５３歲半的美國藝人貝蒂蜜勒（Bette Midler）發行第九張錄音室大碟〔Bathhouse Betty／澡堂貝蒂〕

邀來多組音樂人共襄盛舉

專輯名稱乃向早期她在同同志澡堂表演的經歷致意　這讓她成為同志偶像, 並終生支持LGBT運動

雖然評價不佳

但大碟登上美國榜＃５０　並拿到金唱片（５０萬張）

首支實質單曲為［My One True Friend／我的真朋友］

此曲由David Foster, Carole King, Carole Bayer Sager譜寫

大衛佛斯特製作, 是首典型的流行抒情曲

旋律悅耳，在優美的鋼琴聲中, 蜜勒的詮釋深情感人

這也是梅莉史翠普（Meryl Streep） 芮妮齊薇格（Renee Zellweger）與威廉赫特（William Hurt）主演電影［One True Thing］的主題曲

［My One True Friend］並沒打入美國單曲榜, 但拿到副榜──成人抒情榜＃１６

英國＃５８　澳洲＃４９　荷蘭＃８７

這是貝蒂演唱的電影歌曲佳作之
