Downtown

Song: Downtown Artist: Petula Clark When you're alone And life is making you lonely, You can always go downtown When you've got worries, All the noise and the hurry Seems to help, I know, downtown Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty How can you lose?   The lights are much brighter there You can forget all your troubles Forget all your cares and go Downtown, things'll be great when you're Downtown, no finer place for sure, Downtown, everything's waiting for you Downtown Don't hang around And let your problems surround you There are movie shows downtown             Maybe you know Some little places to go to Where they never close downtown Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossanova You'll be dancing with 'em too Before the night is over Happy again Downtown where all the lights are bright Downtown, waiting for you tonight Downtown, you're gonna be alright now Rebecca Lin 2007 13 Autumn In USA

回复林贝卡的评论:

真不好意思，忘了提一下歌手的名字让你白忙一趟。 这首歌是由 John Barry Mason 和 Leslie David Reed 作词曲，Petula Clark 演唱的; 歌颂的是一个女孩的失恋，很有欧洲情调,而 Petula Clark 的演唱，更是将其发挥的淋漓尽致。

我也找过，没有。 到是有中国歌手模仿的，怕伤了胃口，还是不留连接 (url) 的为好。 先把歌词抄录如下，等有了 Petula Clark 的 mp3 文件，一定记着给林贝卡捎去一份。

KISS ME GOODBYE
(Written by John Barry Mason / Leslie David Reed) Petula Clark - Peaked at # 15 in 1968（US）

We choose it, win or lose it
Love is never quite the same
I love you, now I've lost you
Don't feel bad, you're not to blame

So kiss me goodbye and I'll try not to cry
All the tears in the world won't change your mind
There's someone new and she's waiting for you
Soon your heart will be leaving me behind
Linger awhile, then I'll go with a smile
Like a friend who just happened to call
For the last time pretend your are mine
My darling, kiss me goodbye

I know now I must go now
Though my heart wants me to stay
That girl is your tomorrow
I belong to yesterday

So kiss me goodbye and I'll try not to cry
All the tears in the world won't change your mind
There's someone new and she's waiting for you
Soon your heart will be leaving me behind
Linger awhile, then I'll go with a smile
Like a friend who just happened to call
For the last time pretend your are mine
My darling, kiss me goodbye
My darling, kiss me goodbye

Thank you so much for your messages. Kiss Me Goodbye 是由谁演唱的？我在网上找到了Kiss Me Goodbye的歌曲，不知道是否找对了？

其实更为人能接受的是 Kiss me Goodbye；Downtown 显然过于都市化。前者在 UK 曾排行50在美国排行15，而在 US Top Fifteen Adult Contemporary 则排行第二。可见其主题的普遍性。
