All I Ask of You


M先生令我認識了 Sarah Brightman musical, 從此我聽歌的領域又擴闊了, 他的習慣是一首歌曲加一篇歌詞這樣的 send 給我, 可能他覺得的我的英文水平未達到能聽得懂全部歌詞吧, 我的無知才顯出他的學識廣博, 而有沾沾自傲之感, 這首Sarah Brightman Cliff Richard 合唱All I ask of You, 是《The Phantom of the Opera》裡的一隻歌曲, 亦是他 send 給我的第一首歌曲

 

All I ask of you

~ Sarah Brightman & Cliff Richard

Raoul (Cliff)
No more talk of darkness,
forget these wide-eyed fears;
I'm here, nothing can harm you,
my words will warm and calm you.
Let me be your freedom,
let daylight dry your tears;
I'm here, with you, beside you,
to guard you and to guide you.

Christine (Sarah)
Say you'll love me ev'ry waking moment;
turn my head with talk of summertime.
Say you need me with you now and always;
promise me that all you say is true,
that's all I ask of you.

Raoul
Let me be your shelter,
let me be your light;
you're safe, no one will find you,
your fears are far behind you.

Christine
All I want is freedom,
a world with no more night;
and you, always beside me,
to hold me and to hide me.

Raoul
Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime;
let me lead you from your solitude.
Say you want me with you, here beside you,
anywhere you go, let me go too,
that's all I ask of you.

Christine
Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime.
Together
Say the word and I will follow you.
Share each day with me, each night, each morning.

Christine
Say you love me ...
Raoul
You know I do.
Together
Love me, that's all I ask of you ...
Love me, that's all I ask of you.
Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Lyrics: Charles Hart, Richard Stilgoe

Show: "The phantom of the opera" (1986)



1960814日出生於英國的 Sarah Brightman1981年參加的當時音樂劇《Cat》的面試,她飾演《Cat》劇中的白貓 Jemima,引起了 Andrew Lloyd Webber 的注意。
1984年,這一對有情人終於結為眷屬,這也將 Sarah 的演唱事業一步步帶向巔峰。
1986年十月,「Her Majesty’s Theatrein London 推出了 Webber 的音樂劇《The Phantom of the Opera》,Sarah 完美的詮釋了女主角 Christine,這角色是 Weber為她量身定製的,女主角 Christine 的音樂就是根據她的音域而作,Webber 並堅持要由 Sarah來出演。結果,將她的演藝生涯推上了高峰,從此她成為音樂劇的第一女伶。
後來 Sarah也演唱許多 Webber的歌曲,包括1976年的作品《Don’t Cry for me Argentina》,並收錄到專輯裡。
1990年,他們離婚了,因別人總認為 Sarah的成功是靠著 Webber的關係。但離婚後,布萊曼仍然在Webber的音樂劇《Aspects of Love》擔任女主角,其中有一首歌曲「Anything but Lonely」,是我很喜歡的。
1992年,她與 José Carreras 演唱了 Barcelona Olympics 的主題曲《Friends for Life(Amigos Para Siempre),這首歌曲也是由 Webber 創作的。
1993年,Sarah 離開 Andrew Lloyd Webber,開始向流行音樂的領域進軍。97年,一首在德國拳王 Henry Maske告別賽、與 Andrea Bocelli合唱的《Time to Say Goodbye》,讓她成功踏入流行樂壇的領域。莎拉成為史上最暢銷的古典流行跨界女歌手。
