澳大利亞歌姬［海倫芮迪］──成人流行抒情曲──提名奧斯卡最佳原創歌曲的［Candle on the Water／水上蠟燭］

Ill be your candle on the water,

My love for you will always burn.

I know youre lost and drifting

But the clouds are lifting.

Dont give up, you have somewhere to turn.

Ill be your candle on the water,

Till every wave is warm and bright.

My soul is there beside you,

Let this candle guide you.

Soon youll see a golden stream of light.

A cold and friendless tide has found you,

Dont let the stormy darkness pull you down.

Ill paint a ray of hope around you,

Circling in the air,

Lighted by a prayer.

Ill be your candle on the water,

This flame inside of me will grow.

Keep holding on, youll make it,

Heres my hand so take it.

Look for me, reaching out to show,

As sure as rivers flow,

Ill never let you go.

Ill never let you go.

Ill never let you go...

１９７７年１１月　３６歲的澳大利亞籍當紅歌手海倫芮迪（Helen Reddy）主演美國華特迪士尼製作，博偉（Buena Vista Distribution）發行的真人＋動作奇幻音樂電影［Petes Dragon／尋隆傳說］

影評不理想，票房也勉強過關．

海倫參與原聲帶專輯１２首歌曲中七首歌演唱．

其中的［Candle on the Water／水上蠟燭］推出單曲，由Capitol唱片發行　

Al Kasha＋Joel Hirschhorn作詞，Irwin Kostal作曲／編曲／指揮

Al Kasha＋ Michael Lloyd＋Mike Curb製作成一首成人流行抒情曲，

旋律優美，芮迪以高亢清亮的嗓音細緻演繹，逐漸將歌曲帶向高潮．

［Candle on the Water／水上蠟燭］未入美國告示牌單曲榜，只拿到副榜──Easy Listening榜＃２７

不過提名奧斯卡最佳原創歌曲．

這是芮迪事業的電影歌曲代表作．
