美國紅髮美女〔貝琳達.卡萊兒〕──追憶戰爭亡夫的惆悵戀曲──〔Summer Rain/夏季之雨〕
Songwriters: FRANZEL, JEFFREY B. / WESTENRA, HAYLEY
Whispering our goodbyes
Waiting for a train
I was dancing with my baby
In the summer rain
I can hear him saying
Nothing will change
Come dance with me baby
In the summer rain
I remember the rain on our skin
And his kisses hotter than the Santa Ana winds
Whispering our goodbyes
Waiting for a train
I was dancing with my baby
In the summer rain
I remember laughing till we almost cried
There at the station that night
I remember looking in his eyes
Chorus
Oh my love its you that I dream of
Oh my love since that day
Somewhere in my heart Im always
Dancing with you in the summer rain
Doesnt matter what I do now
Doesnt matter what I say
Somwhere in my heart Im always
Dancing with you in the summer rain
I can hear the whistle
Military train
I was dancing with my baby
In the summer rain
I can hear him singing
Ooh "Love Is Strange"
Come dance with me baby
In the summer rain
I remember the rain pouring down
And we poured our hearts out
As the train pulled out
I can see my baby
Waving from the train
It was the last time that I saw him
In the summer rain
Chorus
Everytime I see the lightening
Everytime I hear the thunder
Everytime I close the window
When this happens in the summer
Oh the night is so inviting
I can feel that you are so close
I can feel you when the wind blows
Blows right through my heart
Chrous
Every night and every day now
Though I know youve gone away
Somewhere in my heart Im always
Dancing with you in the summer rain
1989年秋天 31歲的美國紅髮流行歌手貝琳達.卡萊兒(Belinda Carlisle
)發行Rick Nowels製作的〔Runaway Horse/脫韁之馬〕大碟
雖然沒上張專輯〔Heaven On Earth〕成功
但也在英(#7)美(#37)分拿下白金與金唱片
首支主打也成為她在國際最受歡迎的單曲之一
1990年1月 貝琳達在美國發行專輯第二主打〔Summer Rain/夏季之雨〕(以國際地區來說 則是第三順序)
這首流行曲雖然節奏輕快 但內容卻是傷
描述一名寡婦回憶丈夫在參加戰爭離去前夕告訴她一切不會改變
只是他卻再也沒有回來
卡萊兒以她磁性的嗓音詮釋
〔Summer Rain〕登上美國流行榜#30 成人抒情榜#29
1990年初春 〔Summer Rain〕在澳洲以第三主打發行 登上單曲榜#6 拿到金唱片 這是此曲在國際最高名次
在英國直到1990年底才以第六主打發行 拿到#23
其它地區分別是:加拿大#22 義大利#25 愛爾蘭#26 德國#57
不過這也是卡萊兒最後一首美國Top40單曲
下張大碟她就走下坡了
