Stand by P

昨天在報上讀到著名美國作家西格爾(Erich Segal)因心臟病去世，享年72歲。他的著名作品是《愛情故事》(Love Story)，曾改編為電影。這個故事用今天的角度看簡直老套得掉渣兒，可是這就是那個年代。書中(電影中)的名句是「愛的真義就是永遠用不著說對不起」(Love means never having to say you're sorry)，主題曲我非常喜歡，送給大家：



LOVE STORY (WHERE DO I BEGIN?)(1970)
Andy Williams music by Francis Lai and lyrics by Carl Sigman.

Where do I begin?
To tell the story of how great a love can be
The sweet love story that is older than the sea
The simple truth about the love she brings to me
Where do I start?

With her first hello
She gave a meaning to this empty world of mine
There'd never be another love, another time
She came into my life and made the living fine
She fills my heart

She fills my heart with very special things
With angels' songs, with wild imaginings
She fills my soul with so much love
That anywhere I go I'm never lonely
With her around, who could be lonely?
I reach for her hand
It's always there

How long does it last?
Can love be measured by the hours in a day?
I have no answers now, but this much I can say
I know I'll need her 'til the stars all burn away
And she'll be there

How long does it last?
Can love be measured by the hours in a day?
I have no answers now, but this much I can say
I know I'll need her 'til the stars all burn away

And she'll be there

敬悼西格爾 (1937/6/16 – 2010/1/17)
