青春の輝き (I Need To Be In Love)

The hardest thing I've ever done Is keep believing There's someone in this crazy world for me The way that people come and go Through temporary lives My chance could come and I might never know I used to say, no promises Let's keep it simple But freedom only helps you say goodbye It took a while for me to learn That nothin' comes for free The price I've paid is high enough for me I know I need to be in love I know I've wasted too much time I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world And fool enough to think that's what I'll find So here I am with pockets full of good intentions But none of them will comfort me tonight I'm wide awake at 4 a.m Without a friend in sight Hanging on a hope, but I'm alright I know I need to be in love I know I've wasted too much time I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world And fool enough to think that's what I'll find I know I need to be in love I know I've wasted too much time I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world And fool enough to think that's what I'll find カーペンターズの「青春の輝き」は１９７６年（昭和５１年）に 発売されました。当時も大変な人気でしたが、今聞き直すと改めてカレンの歌声に感動します。１９９０年代にテレビドラマのエンディング・テーマに使われ、幅広いファンに愛される歌となりました。 Words&Music：Richard Carpenter,John Bettis Albert Hammond Karaok→   • 青春の輝き Karaok   All→   / @amanojack0363   無縁坂→   • 無縁坂
