293的鼓 239站台

Charly McClain

此曲首由美村女歌手Charly McClain於1977唱行，打村排行榜，得第87名。接著Dolly Parton在1978亦行此曲的曲，惜未能入榜。倒是流行女歌手Cher的版本，在1979同地得村榜的第87名。然後有多位知名的女歌手包含 : Loretta Lynn、Dottie West、Lorrie Morgan等均有翻唱，但似乎都只收在中，未另行曲。

1980，女歌手Janne Pruett ( 她最知名的是1973的冠曲《Satin Sheets》) 亦翻唱此曲，但有於其它女歌手柔情的演方式 ( 其也都唱得不 )，改低沉哀怨的唱法，竟然拿下了排行榜的第9名，唯不知是否受了之前Sammi Smith 1978版本的影。Sammi於1973以一首《Help Me Make It Through The Night》得了「最佳村女歌手」的葛美，而之後竟未再有佳作表，歌喉，是人再替她好歌吧！

此曲歌通俗，不知珍惜下已有的感情，再想得已晚矣！

再回味一下Sammi Smith的成名曲

It's too late
You say you want me, but it's too late
Once my love for you was so great
But it's too late to love me now

It's too bad
You say you need me and it's too bad
I know the feeling and it's so sad
But it's too late to love me now

Don't you know how hard I've tried
To hold out just for you
Loving you from memory day by day
Then someone came into my life and turned my dreams around
And he's taking all the love you threw away

It's too late
You say you want me, but it's too late
Once my love for you was so great
But it's too late to love me now
It's too late to love me now

Don't you know how hard I've tried
To hold out just for you
Loving you from memory day by day
Then someone came into my life and turned my dreams around
And he's taking all the love you threw away

It's too late
You say you want me but it's too late
Once my love for you was so great
But it's too late to love me now
It's too late to love me now
