這首歌是Don McLean所寫，並收錄在他1970發行的專輯〈Tapestry〉中。這位老兄最著名的歌曲應該是1971的《American Pie》了，但因該曲長度有8分33秒，我實在是聽不太來，據說歌詞中出現的「The day the music died」等，即是對Buddy Holly三人因飛機失事喪生 ( 亂談323 )，而表達的悼念之意。另一首《Vincent》，主題明顯就是針對死後才成名的畫家梵谷 ( Vincent van Gogh )了。

可惜的是，這首《And I Love You So》是在1973被Perry Como給唱紅的 ( #29 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart )。之後的翻唱者甚多，其中也包含了貓王Elvis Presley，而且成為貓王在死前的每場演唱會的必唱曲。

我很少聽西洋情歌，到現在還會有印象的應該都屬於「經典」的。現今再細看歌詞，的確寫的非常優美感人，正在戀愛中的男女，或許會更有感受。齊豫小姐也曾翻唱過，因有中文歌詞對照，就一併貼上來。至於她唱得如何，就留給大家自己來評斷吧！

And I love you so, the people ask me how
How I've lived 'till now, I tell them I don't know
I guess they understand, how lonely life has been
That, life began again the day you took my hand
And yes, I know how lonely life can be
The shadows follow me and the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me
And you love me too, your thoughts are just for me
You set my spirit free, I'm happy that you do
The book of life is brief and once a page is read
All but life is dead that is my belief
And yes, I know how lonely life can be
The shadows follow me and the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me
