老歌亂談(941)Send Me The Pillow You Dream On
此曲為美國鄉村歌手Hank Locklin所寫,於1949自行錄唱發行,但未能打進排行榜;1957,Hank Locklin經由另家唱片公司重新發行此曲,皇天不負苦心人,這次終於在告示牌「電台DJ最常播放西部鄉村歌曲 ( Most Played C&W by Jockeys )」排行榜獲得第5名,同時也橫跨進了流行排行榜 ( # 77 )。
由歌名來看,就能直接感受到那種羅曼蒂克的意境。而遺憾的是,看來這是對已分手的情侶,男方藉由想要一個對方曾睡過、並在之上作過夢的枕頭來表達愛意,也希望能和對方在一起的夢能成真。想像一下,在戀愛時若能要到一個對方曾睡過的枕頭,或許還殘留有對方身上的一些迷人氣味,擁之入眠就如同擁住對方一般,應該會有相當的幸福感。^^

亂談(51)Please Help Me, I'm Falling
Johnny Tillotson的版本
Skeeter Davis的版本
Send me the pillow that you dream on
Don't you know that I still care for you? Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling, I can dream on it, too
Each night while I'm sleeping oh, so lonely
I'll share your love in dreams that once were true
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling, I can dream on it, too
Send me the pillow that you dream on
Maybe time will let our dreams come true
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling, I can dream on it, too
I've waited so long for you to write me
But just a memory's all that's left of you
Send me the pillow that you dream on
So darling, I can dream on it, too
So I can dream on it, too
