but I never sang one myself

 

【The Lights Of Albuquerque】is a classical country song made by James William Glaser in 1986. A few monthes ago my WeiXueCity friend zqy68 posted a fabulous song 【冷冷的夏】and I had a crush on it instantly, she told me that 【冷冷的夏】actually used the music composition from an American country song 【The Lights Of Albuquerque】. Meanwhile, she recommended this song to me. 

I am a country music fun but I never sang one myself.  Upon hearing for the first time I had decided this song would be my first country song to sing.  I even felt  the lyrics of【冷冷的夏】also descended from 【The Lights Of Albuquerque】, both sentimental and slightly melancholy, not to mention they have the same music origin.    To achieve the sentiment I even unintentionally mimic the vicissitude of James Glaser's.    

 

数月前惊艳到到大师姐的《冷冷的夏》后，秋月给我推荐了这首《The Light of Albuquerque》,早唱熟了，K歌确拖了两三个月，终于给大师姐交上作业了

 

The Lights Of Albuquerque

Jim Glaser
Desert moon, lights the freeway up tonight,
Chevy van, how I wish that you could fly.
Gotta get to her and tell her I was wrong,
But I'm still such a long, long way from home,
And the road goes on, on and on, on and on.

But the Lights of Albuquerque, will soon be shining bright,
Like a diamond in the desert, like a beacon in the night.
And I wonder if she'll take me back, will she understand?
Will the Lights of Albuquerque, shine for me again?

Thinking back, to the foolish things I said.
Looking out, at the white lines up ahead.
Gonna tell her I can't make it on my own.
Oh, this empty feeling won't leave me alone.
It goes on and on, on and on, on and on

But the Lights of Albuquerque, will soon be shining bright,
Like a diamond in the desert, like a beacon in the night.
And I wonder if she'll take me back, will she understand?
Will the Lights of Albuquerque, shine for me again?
