英國非裔歌姬［雪莉貝西］──流行抒情曲──［(Where Do I Begin?) Love Story／(我從何處開始?) 愛的故事］

Where do I begin

To tell the story of how great a love can be

The sweet love story that is older than the sea,

The simple truth about love she brings to me

Where do I start?

With her first hello

She gave a meaning to this empty world of mine

Thered never be another love another time

She came into my life and made the living fine

She fills my heart!

She fills my heart with very special things

With angel songs with wild imaginings

She fills my soul with so much love

That anywhere I go Im never lonely with her love

Who could be lonely?

Ill reach for her hand, its always there.

How long does it last?

Can love be measured by the hours in a day

I have no answers now but this much I can say

I know Ill need her till the stars all burn away

And shell be there.

１９７０年夏天　英國威爾斯非裔歌姬雪莉貝西（Shirley Bassey）以［Something］單曲／大碟分別登上英國單曲榜＃４／專輯榜＃５

成功於樂壇東山再起

１９７１年５月, ３４歲的雪莉乘勝追擊　推出［Something Else／與眾不同］大碟（United Artists出版）, 由Noel Rogers＆Johnny Harris製作

樂評良好

登上英國專輯榜＃５　鞏固她的聲勢

［Something Else］的成功也讓貝西的舊專輯、新舊精選輯在１９７１年底時重回排行榜,盤旋三個月, 最多曾有五張在榜上

大碟首支單曲是［(Where Do I Begin?) Love Story／(我從何處開始?) 愛的故事］

Francis Lai作曲, Carl Sigman作詞

原本為１９７０年大賣愛情文藝片［Love Story／愛的故事］譜寫　但發行商派拉蒙拒絕首版歌詞, 最後只有樂器演奏出現在電影

後來安迪威廉斯（Andy Williams）灌錄新歌詞版本──仍是Carl Sigman重寫, 登上Billboard單曲榜＃９　英國榜＃４

此後被許多藝人翻唱

貝西版是首流行抒情曲

在流暢的節奏間, 雪莉盡情展現其音樂寬廣的嗓音

［(Where Do I Begin?) Love Story］登上英國單曲榜＃３４

後來唱片公司又推出第二主打［Breakfast in Bed］, 但沒入榜

因而［(Where Do I Begin?) Love Story］成為［Something Else］大碟中最著名的歌曲
