美國歌壇巨星［蘿貝塔弗萊克］──輕靈魂／成人抒情曲──柔美的［When It’s Over／當愛情結束時］

 

When its over, all over

Theres really nothing more thats left to say

We both seem to know

What started out so right today could end up

As we go our separate ways

 

The laughter, the good times

They fade into a lasting and sad good bye

And you and I, too soon to really know

What we lost now, to late to even try

 

Now and again we still pretend

That love like this could never end

 

But its over, all over

Its like the morning Sun has left the sky

And all thats left are long and lonely nights

That lasts forever, there is nothing left to say

 

But its over, all over

Its like the morning Sun has left the sky

And all thats left are long and lonely nights

That lasts forever, there is nothing left to say

But good bye

Good bye

Good bye

Good bye

 

 

１９７８年８月　４１歲的黑人巨星蘿貝塔弗萊克（Roberta Flack） 發行第四張個人專輯［Roberta Flack］

由她跟Joe brooks, Joe Ferla製作

但反應不如預期　只登上美國專輯榜＃７４　靈魂榜＃３７

在英國　雖然一如之前大碟沒入榜　卻拿到銀唱片（６萬張＋）

 

首支主打［If Ever I See You Again］登上美國單曲榜＃２４（副榜──靈魂榜＃３７　Easy Listening榜冠軍）

第二主打選擇［When It’s Over／當愛情結束時］

此曲由Joe brooks譜寫　是首分手情歌

便製作成一首輕靈魂／成人抒情曲　在弗萊克柔軟嗓音的詮釋下　委婉動人

只是當時蘿貝塔聲勢不佳　［When It’s Over］並沒打入Billboard單曲榜　只在靈魂榜拿到＃８２

弗萊克那種柔情的演繹宛如一陣輕霧, 逐漸瀰漫, 讓人墜入她編織出的感性情網中

讓這首Torch Song現在聽來, 依舊迷人,
