這首歌帶有一點傳奇的色彩:當尼爾森翻唱走紅後的沒多久,歌曲的作者Pete Ham就於1975年自殺身亡,而八年之後另一位作者TomEvans也走上了同樣的不歸路。更為神奇的是在1994年1月15日,當歌手瑪莉亞·凱莉再度翻唱這首經典歌曲時,尼爾森在睡夢中離開了人間。
Mariah Carey的聲音曾被譽為世界上最美的女聲,這首《Without You》把她的高水平發揮得淋漓盡致。頓挫迴轉的旋律,溫暖又帶沙啞的聲音,無可挑剔的高音部分,每當音樂響起,都會讓人感受到美的存在。No I can't forget this evening
我不會忘記這個夜晚
Or your face as you were leaving
以及你離去時的面龐
But I guess that's just the way
也許這就是
The story goes
故事發展的方式
You always smile but in your eyes
你一如往常的笑容,但是你的眼裡
You sorrow shows
展露的是憂傷
Yes it shows
是的,那是憂傷
No I can't forget tomorrow
我不會忘記明天
When I think of all my sorrow
當我想起所有的悲傷
When I had you there
當我還擁有你
But then I let you go
卻又讓你離開
And now it's only fair
此時,唯一該做的
That I should let you know
就是讓你知道
What you should know
你應該知道的
I can't live
我無法活下去
If living is without you
如果沒有你
I can't live
我無法活下去
I can't give anymore
我無法再給予
I can't live
我無法活下去
If living is without you
如果沒有你
I can't give
我無法再給予
I can't give anymore
再給予一絲一毫
Well I can't forget this evening
我不會忘記這個夜晚
Or your face as you were leaving
以及你離去時的面龐
But I guess that's just the way
也許這就是
The story goes
故事發展的方式
You always smile but in your eyes
你一如往常的笑容,但是你的眼裡
You sorrow shows
展露的是憂傷
Yes it shows
是的,那是憂傷
I can't live
我無法活下去
If living is without you
如果沒有你
I can't live
我無法活下去
I can't give anymore
無法再給予一絲一毫
I can't live
我無法活下去
If living is without you
如果沒有你
I can't live
我無法活下去
If living is without you
如果沒有你
I can't live
我無法活下去
I can't give anymore

I can't live
我無法活下去
