Once in your life you find her
Someone that turns your heart around
And next thing you know you're closing down the town
Wake up and it's still with you
Even though you left her way 'cross town
Wondering to yourself, "Hey, what've I found?"
When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do
The best that you can do
Is fall in love
Arthur, he does as he pleases
All of his life, his master's toys
Deep in his heart, he's just, he's just a boy
Living his life one day at a time
And showing himself a pretty good time
Laughing about the way they want him to be
When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do (The best that you can do)
The best that you can do
Is fall in love
When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do (The best that you can do)
The best that you can do
Is fall in love
When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do (The best that you can do)
The best that you can do
Is fall in love
When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
この曲は映画 Grace of My Heart (1996) で使われました
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_of_My_Heart
映画の中では Kristen Vigard のアテレコが使われています。
これを機会にエルヴィス・コステロとバート・バカラックの共作が始まっています。
Now I have nothing so God give me strength
'Cause I'm weak in her wake
And if I'm strong, I might still break
And I don't have anything to share
That I won't throw away into the air
That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
She was the light that I'd bless
She took my last chance of happiness
So God give me strength
God give me strength
I can't hold on to, God give me strength
When the phone doesn't ring
And I'm lost in imagining
Everything that kind of love is worth
As I tumble back down to the earth
That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
She was the light that I'd bless
She took my last chance of happiness
So God give me strength
God if
She'd grant me her indulgence and decline
I might as well wipe her from my memory
Fracture the spell as she becomes my enemy
Maybe I was washed out like a lip-print on a shirt
See, I'm only human, I want him to hurt
I want him, I want him to hurt
Since I lost the power to pretend
That there could ever be a happy ending
That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
She was the light that I'd bless
She took my last chance of happiness
So God give me strength
God give me strength
Wipe her from my memory
I might as well
God give me strength
God give me strength
I might as well
この曲は映画 Night Shift (198) 邦題『ラブ IN ニューヨーク』で使われました。
作詞は当時バート・バカラックの奥方だったキャロル・ベイヤー・セイガーです。

[Verse 1]
Oh, I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I've got a chance to say
That I do believe I love you
And if I, I should ever go away
Well then, close your eyes and try
To feel the way we do today
And then if you can remember
[Chorus]
Keep smilin' (Smilin')
Keep shining' (Shinin')
Knowin' you can always count on me for sure
That's what friends are for
For the good times (Good times)
And the bad times (Bad times)
I'll be on your side forevermore
That's what friends are for, yeah
[Verse 2]
And now, though you heard it all before
Well, I tell you one more time
So I can be completely sure
So you know how much I love you
And if I should ever go away
Well then, close your eyes and try
To feel the way we do this day
And then if you can remember
[Chorus]
Keep smilin' (Smilin')
Keep shining' (Shinin')
Knowin' you can always count on me for sure
That's what friends are for
For the good times (Good times)
And the bad times (Bad times)
I'll be on your side forevermore
That's what friends are for

この曲はディオンヌ・ワーウィックがファースト・シンガーで、彼女のアルバム Here I Am (1965) に収録されています
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here_I_Am_(Dionne_Warwick_album)
I hear the music coming out of your radio
Are you there with another girl instead of me?
I hear your laughter and there's something I've got to know
Are you there with another girl instead of me?
I'm standing on your doorstep and I don't know what to do
Should I ring your doorbell or just walk away?
My friends all say that you were never true
Hiding in the shadows
I see two silhouettes on the back of your window shade
Are you there with another girl when I am gone?
I can't believe you'd break the promises that you made
If you're there with another girl, I can't go on
I only know I love you and I couldn't say goodbye
So, if there's another, I don't want to know
If you should go, oh, I would surely die
Love requires faith, I've got a lot of faith, but
I hear the music coming out of your radio
I only know I love you and I couldn't say goodbye
So if there's another, I don't want to know
If you should go, oh, I would surely die
You would never leave me, hurt me or deceive me
I'm a fool to doubt you, worry so about you
Love requires faith, I've got a lot of faith, but
I hear the music coming out of your radio
Hmmm, yeah, I hear the music
Coming out of your radio
The sweet, sweet music
And you're there with another girl
I hear the music
I don't wanna know
Twenty years ago
I would have told you that the world was round
Good and sound
Freedom bound
The future was secure
Now I'm not so sure
It seems like gravity has been reversed
And getting worse
Nothing works
And everybody hurts
Yes there's a trail of tears
Down through the years
Of broken hearts
It's still so hard
To let the sun shine in
Love's the answer
No matter what, I swear love is
It's still the answer
Just like it always was
Such a simple truth
Love never changes
Or betrays a friend
From the start
Love was part
Of some fantastic plan
Some brotherhood of man
And now it's down to us
We either shine the light
Or darkness rules
Our children lose
We're free to choose our fate
To find our way
Beyond this veil of tears
The sky is clear
And every star
Stands for a heart
That let's the sun shine in
Love's the answer
No matter what, I swear love is
It's still the answer
Just like it always was
Love's the answer
No matter what, I swear love is
It's still the answer
Just like it always was
Love's the answer
No matter what, I swear love is
It's still the answer
Just like it always was
Love's the answer
No matter what, I swear love is
Love's the answer
この曲の最初の録音は
Albert Hammond – 99 Miles From L.A. (1975)
https://www.discogs.com/ja/master/106763-Albert-Hammond-99-Miles-From-LA
で、ディオンヌはこのアルバムが初録音になります。
Keeping my eyes on the road, I see you
Keeping my hands on the wheel, I hold you
99 miles from L.A
I kiss you, I miss you, please be there
Passing a white sandy beach, we're sailing
Turning the radio on, we're dancing
99 miles from L.A
I want you, I need you, please be there
The windshield is covered with rain, I'm crying
Pressing my foot on the gas, I'm flying
Counting the telephone poles, I phone you
Reading the signs on the road, I write you
99 miles from L.A
We're laughing, we're loving, please be there
The windshield is covered with rain, I'm crying
Pressing my foot on the gas, I'm flying
Counting the telephone poles, I phone you
Reading the signs on the road, I write you
99 miles from L.A
We're laughing, we're loving, please be there
99 miles from L.A
99 miles from L.A
99 miles from L.A
99 miles from L.A...
[Verse 1]
When the sun is warm where you are
And it's comfortable and safe where you are
Well, it's not exactly that way all over
[Chorus 1]
And somewhere in the world
Someone is cold, be aware
And while you're feeling young
Someone is old, be aware
[Verse 2]
And while your stomach's full
Somewhere in this world, someone is hungry
When there is so much, should anyone be hungry?
[Verse 3]
When there's laughter all around mе
And my family and friends surround me
If I seem to be forgеtful, remind me
[Chorus 2]
That somewhere in the whole world
People are weak, be aware
And while you speak your mind
Others can't speak, be aware
[Verse 4]
And while your children sleep
Somewhere in this world a child is homeless
When there is so much, should any child be homeless?
Oh no, not even one child
Be aware
この曲は Lou Johnson が1963年にシングルでリリースしています。
ディオンヌ・ワーウィックは1964年にアルバム Make Way for Dionne Warwick に収録しています。
今取り上げているアルバム Now では曲名が "Reach Out" となっていますが、最初の曲名は "Reach Out for Me" で、こちらの方がよく通じるでしょう。
バート・バカラック自身に Reach OUT (1967) というアルバムがあり、その中には "Reach Out for Me" という曲名出で収録されています。
When you go through a day
And the things that people say
They make you feel so small
They make you feel that
Your heart will just never stop aching
And when you just can't accept
The abuse you are taking
Darlin' reach out for me
Don't you worry I'll see you through
You just have to reach out for me
I'll be there and I'll confort you
Oh yes I will
Comfort you and love you
How I'm gonna love you
When good friends prove untrue
And the things they do to you
They make you feel so bad
They make you feel that
You haven't a reason for living
So when you feel you
Could throw in the towel and just given in
Darlin' reach out for me
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anyone for me?
Can’t you see?
Can you hear me baby?
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anyone for me?
Can’t you see?
Can you hear me baby?
Oh ho
Is it fascination?
Is it love at all?
Sweet anticipation
Better than before
My patience wearing thin
Another night to dream
And pray for the dream to come true
To come true
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anyone for me?
Can’t you see?
Can you hear me baby?
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anyone for me?
Can’t you see?
Can’t you hear me baby?
Oh Oh
Everybody’s after
Something to believe
People come together
Then somebody leaves
I’m tired of all the pain
Am I the only one
Who sees all the tears in the world
Is there someone
To take the time
Someone, somewhere
To share my love
Share my love
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anyone for me?
Can’t you see?
Can you hear me baby?
Anybody out there
Can’t you see?
Can you hear me baby?
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anyone for me?
Oh ho
Can’t you see?
Can you hear me baby?
Is there anybody out there?
Can’t you see
Can you hear me baby?
Is there anybody out there?
Can you hear me baby?
Is there anybody out there?
Can’t you see?
Can you hear me baby?
Anybody out there
Anyone for me
Can’t you see?
Can you hear me baby?
There are things that I did long ago
That I don't do anymore
We grow out of things
Each day is different
Than the day before
And yet to love you
I just have to breathe
There are needs we have
When we are young
And discard as we mature
Time can change so much
The only certain thing is
Nothing's sure
And yet to love you
I just have to breathe
It's not an easy place
This world we face
But I'll face anything
As long as that warm morning sun
Will always bring me you
There's a time for everything we do
When it's over we move on
Just true love remains
And I'll still love you
When all else is gone
For me to love you
I just have to breathe
In this world where nothing stays the same
Stay with me
[Verse 1]
Once in every life
Someone comes along
And you came to me
It was almost like a song
[Verse 2]
You were in my heart
Right where you belong
And we were so in love
It was almost like a song
[Verse 3]
January through December
We had such a perfect year
Then the flames became a dying ember
All at once you weren't here
[Verse 4]
Now my broken heart
Cries for you each night
And it's almost like a song
But it's much too sad to write
[Outro]
Now my broken heart
Cries for you each night
(Cries for you each night)
And it's almost like a song
(Almost like a song)
But it's much too sad to write
It's too sad to write
