美國黑人歌姬［蘿貝塔．弗萊克］──流行／靈魂曲──輕盈的［Oasis／綠洲］

 

 

In the morning, when I see the sun

I think about you

February, cold and cloudy days, here without you

Oh oh oh

I know it wont be long

Till your here with me

Waitin with anticipation

Lately

Seems I hear your voice in the distance

Comin closer, dark and rainy skies disappearing

 

Oh oh oh

Let me hold you close

I know what u need

Give you all my love and affection

Oh

Now Im layin next to you

We share our hearts beneath the desert moon

Now my love youll never lose

Now my oasis here in you

 

Lately

The world is far away, when were together

In my oasis, kiss my tears away, and we remember (now remember)

 

Oh oh oh

Let me hold you close (hold you close)

I know what you need (what you need)

Give you all my love and affection

Oh

Now Im layin next to you

We share our hearts beneath desert moons

And my love youll never lose

Now my oasis here in you

 

(Say youll never leave) say youll never leave

(Oasis, oasis) oh no

All that I need (is to keep is to keep you here with me)

Is to keep is to keep you here with me

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

 

(When were together)

World is far away

(No stormy weather)

No more cloudy days, no no

(Found my oasis)

In your lovin arms

(Ill leave you never)

Never leave you (no)

 

Let me hold you close (hold you close)

I know what you need (what you need)

Give you all my love and affection

Oh

When Im layin next to you

We share out hearts beneath (desert moons)

And my love youll never lose

Now my oasis here in you

 

Now Im layin next to you

We share out hearts beneath desert moons

Now my love youll never lose

Now my oasis here in you

 

Oh oh, oh oh, oh

Oh oh, oh oh, oh

 

My oasis

(My oasis, my oasis)

My oasis

(My oasis, my oasis)

Ooh ooh la

(My oasis, my oasis)

(My oasis, my oasis)

(My oasis, my oasis)

(My oasis, my oasis)

(My oasis, my oasis)

(My oasis, my oasis)

(My oasis, my oasis)

(My oasis)

Brava

 

１９８８年秋天　５１歲的美國黑人巨星歌姬蘿貝塔．弗萊克（Roberta Flack）發行睽違五年的大碟──也是她六年來首張個人專輯［Oasis／綠洲］

（１９８５年曾籌備新輯而灌錄數首歌曲, 但因不滿意未出版）

大碟由她個人獨力製作　獲得不錯評價

同名歌曲［Oasis］為首支主打　

 

此曲由Marcus Miller, Mark Stephens譜寫, 是首流行／靈魂曲　節拍輕盈

［Oasis／綠洲］雖然沒打進Billboard單曲榜

卻在副榜──Billboard黑人榜封后, 成為她十年來首支在此登冠的單曲（事業累積第四首）

在另一副榜──成人當代榜則拿到＃１３

這是蘿貝塔．弗萊克１９８０年代的名曲之一
