Greatest love of allWhitney Houston
I believe that children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter
Remind us how we used to be
Everybody's searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs
A lonely place to be
And so I learned to depend on me
I decided1 long ago
Never to walk in anyone's shadow
If I fail, if I succeed at least I'll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all is happening to me
I've found the greatest love of all inside of me
The greatest love of all is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all
And if by chance that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love
最伟大的爱惠妮休斯顿
我相信儿童是大家的将来
好好教会他们,让他们走我们的路
启发他们的内在美
给他们自尊心
让孩子们的笑声
提醒大家的过往
每一个人都在探寻英雄
大家需要一位崇拜的偶像
我未曾找到能满足我需要的人
注定要孤单寂寞
于是我掌握了依赖我一个人
很长时间以前,我就已经决定
绝不依靠其他人的提携庇荫
不论成功失败,至少我依我们的信念而活
不论我被夺走了什么
夺不走我的尊严
只由于我得到了最伟大的爱
我找到了心中至高无上的爱
至高无上的爱比较容易做到
学着爱你一个人
那就是最伟大的爱
假如恰巧那个特别的地方
──你的梦想之地
叫你身陷绝境、孤立无援
到爱中探寻力量
一首歌怎么样听,编曲和演唱者是不是能真的挖掘出这首歌的潜力,占非常重要的原因。桃丽芭顿(Dolly Parton)的乡村冠军曲 I will always love you 经惠妮休斯顿的翻唱,摇身一变成为名闻全球的抒情经典。
葛伦麦德罗斯的 Nothing's gonna change my love for you 也是相同的情形,原唱兼作曲者的乔治班森(George Benson)是位黑人爵士乐手,若非经由葛伦麦德罗斯的翻唱,这首歌不会遭到广大乐迷的回响。乔治班森还有一首著名的作品 Greatest love of all ,被惠妮休斯顿慧眼看上,而介绍给全世界的歌迷,不然这首好歌将只能躲在乔治班森的专辑中,乏人问津。
