黑人美聲天后〔惠妮休士頓〕──１９８８年漢城奧運主題曲──英國冠軍──〔One Moment In Time〕

Each day I live
I want to be
A day to give
The best of me
I'm only one
But not alone
My finest day
Is yet unknown

I broke my heart
Fought every gain
To taste the sweet
I face the pain
I rise and fall
Yet through it all
This much remains

I want one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity

I've lived to be
The very best
I want it all
No time for less
I've laid the plans
Now lay the chance
Here in my hands

Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity

You're a winner for a lifetime
If you seize that one moment in time
Make it shine

Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will be
I will be
I will be free
I will be
I will be free

１９８８年夏天　正處於事業高峰的２５歲黑人巨星惠妮休士頓（Whitney Houston）

當年漢城夏季奧運紀念專輯〔１９８８　Summer Olympics Album：One Moment In Time〕灌錄同名歌曲

鼓勵人們要相信自己　追求那剎那成永恆的榮耀時刻

此曲由John Bettis（瑪丹娜〔Crazy For You〕，麥可傑克遜〔Human Nature〕，黛安娜蘿絲〔When You Tell Me That You Love Me〕，指針姐妹〔Slow Hand〕）與Albert Hammond（Starship〔Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now〕胡立歐＆威利尼爾遜〔To All Those Girls I’ve Loved Before〕Ace of Base〔Don’t Turn Around〕黛安娜蘿絲〔When You Tell Me That You Love Me〕）譜寫

製作人仍由Narada Michael Walden操刀

惠妮以她著名的天籟美聲將這首勵志歌曲詮釋得氣勢非凡

〔One Moment In Time〕在７月發行後　登上美國流行榜＃５（Airplay＃７Sales＃３） 黑人榜＃３　成人抒情榜冠軍

國際市場的表現更成功　為惠妮拿到第三首英國榜冠軍（２ weeks）　第二首德國冠軍　義大利＃３　瑞士＃４　法國＃８　澳洲＃５４

隔年〔One Moment In Time〕得到葛萊美獎最佳電影歌曲提名　並獲得艾美獎最佳電視歌曲

MV則是過去奧運集錦

記得在９０年代第一次聽到〔One Moment In Time〕還有點震撼

除了歌曲動聽外　惠妮扎實的歌唱功力也讓人印象深刻

不過現在…嗯……吸毒對歌手的嗓音影響真大

Anyway , 推薦這位能震撼人心美聲天后的抒情經典給各位
