美國靈魂樂天后［艾瑞莎．富蘭克林］──靈魂／流行抒情曲──［My Song／我的歌］

You told me that you would leave me here in tears.

Now youre gone and hours seem like years.

So darling, I sing my song.

Your leaving makes my heart beat slow and slow

Now Im wondering where did you go.

Please tell me, tell me what is wrong.

I still love you,

Wont you please come back to me?

Come back where, where you ought to be.

Dont stay away from me

Cause youll always be my own,

Well be together for eternity.

You told me that you would leave me here in tears.

Now youre gone and hours seem like years.

And you left me singing a song,

Im just singing a song,

You left me singing a song...

１９６８年６月　２６歲的美國靈魂樂夫人艾瑞莎富蘭克林（Aretha Franklin）發行第十五張大碟［Aretha Now］

其中第三首主打為雙A面單曲［See Saw／My Song］

前者登上美國流行榜＃１４　R&B榜＃９　由於銷售良好　成為其第八張百萬金唱片

後者並非專輯收錄歌曲

此曲為David James Mattis＆L. Alexander譜寫　１９５２年美國黑人歌手Johnny Ace以此曲首登歌壇

艾瑞莎的版本由Jerry Wexler製作　是首靈魂／流行抒情曲

在悠緩的鋼琴聲中　富蘭克林的詮釋深情感人

由於［My Song／我的歌］也獲得電台放送　因而獨立入榜

美國流行榜＃３１　R&B榜＃１０

這是艾瑞莎又一首靈魂抒情曲佳作
