Roses Are Red, My Love - Bobby Vinton
A long, long time ago, on graduation day,
You handed me your book, I signed this way.
Roses are red, my love, violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet, my love, but not as sweet as you.
We dated through high school, and when the big day came,
I wrote into your book, next to your name.
Roses are red, my love, violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet, my love, but not as sweet as you.
Then I went far away and you found someone new.
I read your letter dear, and I wrote back to you.
Roses are red, my love, violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet, my love, good luck - may God bless you.
Is that your little girl? She looks a lot like you.
Someday some boy will write in her book, too.
Roses are red, my love, violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet, my love, but not as sweet as you.

这首歌曲已经听了近20年了，不过还没有CD or MP3。。。我也收集了几十首70s、60s、50s and even older oldies. Maybe we could have a lot to share with each other...
谢谢煮酒兄。想听什么歌？我来贴......
最近着迷Frank Sinatra的老歌。
我好像有三首，其中那个 Yesterday When I Was Young 最有名，我也很喜欢。这首歌实际上是首法国歌儿~
看来闲妹是个中高手，煮酒以后免不了要多多请教。
总的来说，90年代以后的美国歌曲我不太有共鸣，还是喜欢50、60、70年代的老歌，80年代的一些也很不错。对了，你有 Bertie Higgins 的一首 Tokyo Joe 吗？ 歌名好像是这个，不过我不太肯定。里面重复最多的是一句 You call me Tokyo Joe~oe~oe~oe, You're my rose in Tokyo. I still love you So~o~o~So, did you misunderstand...
我从存货很羞涩，不过有些根据美国流行歌曲改编的 Easy Listens 还不错。如果闲妹有兴趣，我可以提供个清单。
煮酒兄才是超级发烧友，我在网上没有找到Tokyo Joe，不过，在Amazon上买到了CD,收到以后转成MP3给你，算是小小的贿赂吧，等着听你讲课呢。
夜深了，听听这首歌---歌手是谁？猜中有奖！
Are you lonesome tonight?
Do you miss me tonight?
Are you sorry we drifted apart?
Does your memory stray
To a bright sunny day?
When I kissed you
And called you sweetheart?
Do the chairs in your parlor
Seem empty and bare?
Do you gaze at your doorstep
And picture me there?
Is your heart filled with pain
Shall I come back again?
Tell me dear
Are you lonesome tonight?
I wonder if you're lonesome tonight
You know someone said
That the world's a stage
And each must play a part
Fate had me playing in love
And you as my sweet heart
Act one was when we met
I loved you at first glance
You read your line so cleverly
And never missed a cue
Then came act two
You seemed to change
And you acted strange
And why I'll never know
Honey, you lied
When you said you loved me
And I had no cause to doubt you
But I'd rather go on hearing your lies
Than to go on living without you
Now the stage is bare
And I'm standing there
With emptiness all around
And if you won't come back to me
Then make them bring the curtain down
Is your heart filled with pain
Shall I come back again?
Tell me dear
Are you lonesome tonight?

出道前是一个英俊的大货司机，呵呵
没想到，随口一问，居然害你去买了CD，实在不好意思。早知这样我就去买了。
不过 Bertie Higgins 的歌儿，我想你会喜欢的，因为它们有着浓重的古典怀旧风格，Casablanca, Key Largo, Tokyo Joe, Another Day in Paradise (不是Phil Collins那个) 都是名躁一时的优秀曲目。而且这个歌手最大的特点是：在世界范围内受到极其广泛的接受和喜爱。也就是说，他的歌曲风格带有更大的人类审美共性，是超文化的。这与Elvis Presley and Beatles 等是不同的。
下次整理出清单来奉上。。。
