Do I Love You
Written by Paul Anka, Yves Dessca, Alain Joseph,
Yves Le Govic, Michel Albert,Louis Pelay & Maxime Piolot
1971, BUDDAH single
Beyond the shadow of a doubt
As the mighty river flows
As the meadow gaily plays
With the wind on summer days
Bout as deep as deep can go
from the canyons to the sky
Like a mother as she cares
For the baby that she bears
Do I love you? Don't you know by now?
Do I love you? Must I show you how?
Do I love you? Must I always say?
Do I love you? Yes in every way!
About a s sacred as a hymn
and a Bible full of prayers
From a whisper, to a roar
Very much and even more
And I shall show it with my eyes
And share it with the night
If in death the good Lord is kind
You'll be the last thing on my mind
Do I love you? Don't you know by now?
Do I love you? Must I show you how?
Do I love you? Must do I have to say?
Do I love you? Yes in every way!
Do I love you? You should know by now.
Do I love you? Must I show you how?
Do I love you? Do I have to say?
Do I love you? Yes in every way!
Do I love you? You should know by now.
Do I love you?…(fades)

ハッ....いや，友，ジュン沢木よ，あなたは今いずこに...
"マイ・ウェイ"を手垢にまみれさせた主犯は，布施明やNHKというよりも，世間のカラオケバカたちだとはボクは思うが，芸能界ではゴマのハエの存在だった君とかがエラそうにレパートリーにしたのは実にいただけなかった。
ボクは総曲輪通りのレコード店にあなたを誘ったとき，そう，Tom Scott & the L.A.Expressを2枚買ったのだっけ，あのとき P.アンカそれとも S.ウォーカーのこの曲をあなたに勧めたかったのだけれど，お店には無かったのだった。
ただし，ボクは言葉で Do I Love を強くプッシュした。
失うものが無い，攻めるしかないあなたにはこういう曲こそ必要だと。
ポール・アンカのこのタメや息遣い...今のあなたなら多く，強く共感することだろう。
