我必須用歌聲來說 "我愛妳"

對於不善言詞的人, 我想不出有任何其他歌曲更能用來表達心情, 說出 "我愛妳" 三個字.

Jim Croce 在1973年初寫下這首歌給他的太太 Ingrid, 因為一天晚上他和 Ingrid 發生爭執, Jim 到樓下開始寫曲, 第二天早上他就唱這了首歌給 Ingrid 聽.

Jim 在1973年九月因墜機逝世. 享年30歲. 這首歌是在他死後, 1974年, 發行. 登上所有當時的排行榜.

獻給所有 不敢/不能 開口向對方說 "我愛妳" 的人:



Well, I know it's kinda late.
I hope I didn't wake you.
But what I gotta say can't wait,
I know you'd understand.

Every time I tried to tell you,
The words just came out wrong,
So I'll have to say I love you in a song.

Yeah, I know it's kinda strange.
Every time I'm near you,
I just run out of things to say.
I know you'd understand.

Every time I try to tell you,
The words just came out wrong,
So I'll have to say I love you in a song.

Every time the time is right,
All the words just came out wrong,
So I'll have to say I love you in a song

Yeah I know it's kinda late.
Hope I didn't wake you,
But there's something I just gotta say.
Know you'd understand.

Every time I try to tell you,
The words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say I love you in a song.
