Love Story
《Love Story》是一首经典老歌。
老歌,像一本泛了黄的旧书,只想轻轻的翻开它,用心去聆听,细细品味,然后跟着轻哼,不舍得丢弃;老歌,像一坛陈年老酒,开启的那一刻,醇香味浓,小抿一口,便令人回味无穷[1];老歌,更像一本儿时的相册,那种锁进抽屉里,尘封许久没有再翻动过,当有一天不经意打开它,已逝的灿烂年华便清晰如镜地呈现在眼前……
老歌,是一种情怀,唱起它,便会触动我们似乎已经麻木许久但其实内里依旧非常容易感动的心[2]。

歌词
We were both young when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts:
I’m standing there on a balcony in summer air.
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.
See you make your way through the crowd
and say hello;
Little did I know
That you were Romeo; you were throwing pebbles,
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet."
And I was crying on the staircase,
begging you, ’Please, don’t go.’
And I said,
"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I’ll be waiting; all there’s left to do is run.
You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess
It’s a love story - baby just say ’Yes.’
So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet ’cause we’re dead if they knew.
So close your eyes; escape this town for a little while.
’Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter,
And my daddy said "Stay away from Juliet,"
But you were everything to me; I was begging you, ’Please, don’t go,’
And I said,
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I’ll be waiting; all there’s left to do is run.
You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess
It’s a love story - baby just say ’Yes.’
Romeo save me; they’re tryin’ to tell me how to feel.
This love is difficult, but it’s real.
Don’t be afraid; we’ll make it out of this mess.
It’s a love story - baby just say ’Yes.’
I got tired of waiting,
Wondering if you were ever comin’ around.
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town.
And I said,
Romeo save me - I’ve been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting for you but you never come.
Is this in my head? I don’t know what to think-
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said,
Marry me, Juliet. you’ll never have to be alone.
I love you and that’s all I really know.
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress;
It’s a love story - baby just say ’Yes.’
Oh, oh.
We were both young when I first saw you...
老歌魅力
老歌抓住了人们心中那根最淳朴的神经,每每让人们在内心深处独自享受着莫可名状的感动,不管时代怎么改变,审美观念如何的“潮”[3],但人追求纯洁的心是不会改变的,我没有经历过上山下乡[4]的改造,但《小芳》[5]那直白朴素的话语却仍然令我充满遐想。我虽然不曾有过恋人,但《涛声依旧》中的那份感受却仍让我在动情之处潸然泪下。
老歌如同一部无声电影[6],歌者不需要是帅哥美女,也无需热舞和激光束的渲染,老歌所凭借的是他那纯粹的艺术魅力征服了一个又一个听众的心。
老歌如酒,放的时间越久,它所勾起的思绪就越久远。人生之路漫漫,就让这“老朋友”陪着我们内心深处的那些简单的往事,在时光的流逝中,时不时的给我们带来一丝久违的温暖。
