最近ママチャリ漕いでる間に昔聴いてた歌を思い出して歌ってるんですが(笑)

ふとMary J BligeのOverjoyedを思い出して聴きました。(彼女のカバーでこの曲を知ったので、スティービーワンダーのは後から聴いたんです。どちらも大好き!)ついでに、当時は歌詞覚えて歌ってたのに忘れちゃったわ〜と思って歌詞調べて聴きながら読んだら、本気で号泣しました。(笑)なんか、結婚して旦那さんと(これでも)色々あったからの境地なのか…(笑)旦那さんと付き合ってた頃に、一度この歌をカラオケで歌ったけど(ちなみにあまり洋楽聴かない旦那さんはポカーン笑)、そのときは何も感じずに歌ってました。

歌詞載せときます。

Overjoyed

Over time, I've been building my castle of love
Just for two, though you never knew you were my reason
I've gone much too far for you now to say
That I've got to throw my castle away

Over dreams, I have picked out a perfect come true
Though you never knew it was of you I've been dreaming
The sandman has come from too far away
For you to say come back some other day

And though you don't believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too, if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over loved, over me

Over hearts, I have painfully turned every stone
Just to find, I had found what I've searched to discover
I've come much too far for me now to find
The love that I've sought can never be mine

And though you don't believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too, if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over loved, over me

And though the odds say improbable
What do they know
For in romance
All true love needs is a chance
And maybe with a chance you will find
You too like I
Overjoyed, over loved, over you, over you
