老歌亂談(1166)Don't Forget I Still Love You

此曲為美國鄉村/流行女歌手Bobbi Martin於1964發行的同名專輯的主打歌曲,在「易聽 (Easy Listening)」排行榜奪得第2名、告示牌流行榜最高排名第19,Bobbi Martin也因此曲一炮而紅。

後續的單曲《I Can't Stop Thinking of You》,首次在全國性的電視節目「Dean Martin Show」中推出,為她贏得了「Cashbox Disc Jockey」的民意調查,成為1965「最有前途的女歌手」。除了此首《Don't Forget I Still Love You》,Bobbi Martin最紅的歌曲的應是1970的《For The Love of Him》( 易聽#1/流行#13)。Bobbi雖為全國性知名歌手,但至終未能大紅大紫。( 呵呵!民意調查真的只能作為參考用。)

Dean Martin & Bobbi Martin

Bobbi五歲的時候,母親嫁給了在軍中認識的同袍,並拒絕透露其生父的姓名資訊,此事也終生困擾著Bobbi ( 奇怪的母親?應該是認為不說較好。)。Bobbi自己則喜歡將年齡報小4歲,2000年因癌症去世,實際年紀為60歲。

這當然是首失戀歌曲,男友已經跑了,仍期以愛的表白喚回男友,但成功的機率恐怕不大吧!歌詞、旋律簡單,是台長當年滿喜歡的一首歌。

Don't forget I still love you
Every day we're apart
Someone else will be kissing you
But you'll still be in my heart
Don't forget I still love you
When her arms hold you tight
Just remember that I still care
Though I'm not with you tonight
CHORUS
When I told you I loved you
I promised I'd be true
And I'll keep that promise
My whole life through
I could never forget you
And how our love used to be
Goodbye, my darling, and don't forget
You can always come back to me
