Being Alive
Southport, 2000


I don't iron his shirts
I don't sew on his buttons
I don't know all the jokes he tells
Or the songs he hums
Though I may hold him all through the night
He may not be here when the morning comes

I don't pick out his ties
Or expect his tomorrows
But I feel when he's in my arms
He's where he wants to be

We have no memories
Bittersweet with time
And I doubt if he'll spend New Year's Eve with me

I don't share his name
I don't wear his ring
There's no piece of paper saying that he's mine
But he says he loves me, and I believe it's true
Doesn't that make someone belong to you

So I don't share his name
So I don't wear his ring
So there's no piece of paper saying that he's mine
So we have don't have the memories
I have enough memories
I've watched enough mornings
I've cried enough evenings
I've had enough birthdays to know what I want

Like there's anyone's guess
It's a constant surprise
Though you don't plan to fall in love
When you fall you fall

I'd rather have fifty percent of him
Or any percent of him
Than all of anybody else at all

ギフチョウ 2026-1 初見


回り込もうとすると別の♂が追飛をはじめて連れ去るので
じっくり眺める暇もない。

マメザクラは日当たり良い場所のあちこちで咲き始め

Blue, oh, your eyes were blue
Like I've never seen
My eyes were all they knew
Then they turned,
Then they turned green.
Green like a secret sea
Where the demons play
Oh how they played with me
Then they turned,
Then they turned grey.
Grey as a silent rain
Strange and cold as clay
Grey without joy or pain
Then they turned,
Then they turned away.
Blue, oh, your eyes were blue
Like the kiss of dawn
My eyes were all they knew
Blue, green,
Green, grey and gone.

Blue, green,
Green, grey and gone.

Alan & Marilyn Bergman Song Collection 40


Once You've Been in Love

Music written by Michel Legrand
Lyrics written by Alan Bergman, Marilyn Bergman

Orchestra arranged & conducted by Michel Legrand

First recording and first release by Sarah Vaughan

収録アルバム
Sarah Vaughan with Michael LeGrand
Mainstream Records, 1972


Once you awake in someone's arms
Once you have shared the dawn
Once you have glimpsed the face of love that flows
The space of love, you're someone else forever

Once you have dreamed in someone's arms
How can you dream alone?
Once you have known the joys of time, the smiles of time
Can you walk alone across the miles of time?

After you've heard the 'song of songs'
What other song will do?
After your eyes are dazzled by the summer sunlight
Oh how long before they grow accustomed to the dark of winter?

Once I belonged in someone's arms
I never felt the cold
And once I believed in someone's arms
That they would always hold me

Once I was sure how real it was
Now I try to pretend it never was
Long to forget it ever was
But with so many memories where do you begin?
Once you've been in love
