(Baby, baby... Mmm... I'm so glad...) I will never find another lover, sweeter than you, sweeter than you And I will never find another lover, more precious than you, more precious than you Girl, you are close to me, you're like my mother; close to me, you're like my father Close to me, you're like my sister; close to me, you're like my brother You are the only one, my everything, and for you, this song I sing
All my life, I've prayed for someone like you And I thank God that I, that I finally found you All my life, I prayed for someone like you And I hope that you feel the same way, too Yes, I pray that you do love me, too
(I said you're all that I'm thinkin' of... baby) Said I promise to never fall in love with a stranger You're all I'm thinkin' of; I praise the lord above for sending me your love I cherish every hug, I really love you
You're all that I've ever known; when you smile, your face glows You picked me up when I was down Say you're all that I've ever known; when you smile, your face glows You picked me up when I was down
All my life, I've prayed for someone like you And I thank God that I, that I finally found you All my life, I prayed for someone like you Yes, I pray that you do love me, too
All my life, I've prayed for someone like you And I thank God that I, that I finally found you...
君みたいな人が欲しいと心から祈り続けてきたんだ やっと君を見つけられたことを神様に感謝しているよ
◇美しいピアノのイントロと二人のコーラスワークが印象的な名曲ですね。
昔ある番組で見た二人のインタビューで語られていたこの曲の制作エピソードを覚えています。
確かJoJoの話だったと思いますが、この曲の歌詞では、コーラス部の「I thank God」に続く箇所が最後までどうしても書けなかったそうです。言葉が見つからず頭を悩ませていると、JoJoを探して娘さんが部屋に入ってきました。その時、娘さんが発したのが、”Daddy, I finally found you!(パパ、やっと見つけた!)”という言葉。これを聞いて、「Yes!(それだ!)」と頂いて完成させたそうです。
