[Introduction]
“There'll be Sad Songs”是極少數我並非往回追，而是本來就喜愛的歌曲。我在1980年代末期才開始大量接觸西洋歌曲，但在這之前，我就已經對這首歌很熟悉，那時候還在”聽歌”的階段，還未進入著迷、研究、收藏的階段。
踏入21世紀後，廣播電台播放的歌曲大半都不好聽，甚至不舒服，大概是因為年紀大了、跟不上時代腳步了吧…，所以，每年認識的新歌大概只有10幾首，也對排行榜一點都不感興趣了；遙想20年前，可是連Billboard雜誌也在收藏之列的。也因此，這些年多只能反覆聽著收藏的400張CD，閒來沒事，把喜愛的歌曲轉成MP3，然後自己做排名、做精選輯。第一名並不難選，”Careless Whisper”只敗在不是我一開始就追的歌曲，“There'll be Sad Songs”太好聽、也太有個人紀念意義，輕易勝出！
我想全天下，古往今來，應該不可能有任何一位歌手，可以把“There'll be Sad Songs”這首歌，詮釋地比Billy Ocen更動人、更深情了！在此之前，我不知道黑人原來那麼會唱歌(因為年紀小、孤陋寡聞)，每一次聽、每一次唱，都覺得是再次被感動，尤其是結尾的那句”I Love You.”和接著一小段收尾音樂，完美！而bridge的那三句” You're my desire. You take me higher. My love is like a river running so deep.”，橋接得無縫無暇。
這首歌種下了日後我心中數百首經典的種子，也種下了這篇文章的種子，也讓我考試成績雖然其差無比，但卻不排斥學英文，也得以擁有比一般人更好些的英語發音水準。因為這首歌，我學會了melody、harmony這兩個單字，也發現原來英文歌可以這樣斷句：” I always stop and think of you especially…”。Thank you, Billy Ocean !

Sometimes I wonder by the look in your eyes
When I'm standing beside you
There's a fever burning deep inside
Is there another in your memory?
Do you think of that someone
When you hear that special melody?
I always stop and think of you especially
When the words of a love song
Touch the very heart of me
There'll be sad songs to make you cry
Love songs often do
They can touch the heart of someone new
Saying I love you
I often wonder, how it could be
You loving me
Two hearts in perfect harmony
I count the hours until that day
A rhapsody plays
A melody for you and me
Until the moment when you give your love to me
You're the one I care for
The one that I will wait for
There'll be sad songs to make you cry
Love songs often do
They can touch the heart of someone new
Saying I love you
There'll be sad songs to make you cry
Love songs often do
They can touch the heart of someone new
Saying I love you
You're my desire
You take me higher
My love is like a river running so deep
I always stop and think of you especially
When the words of a love song
Touch the very heart of me
There'll be sad songs to make you cry
Love songs often do
They can touch the heart of someone new
Saying I love you
There'll be sad songs to make you cry
Love songs often do
They can touch the heart of someone new
Saying I love you
Saying I love you
I love you
