過去的春夢

以1956年第六名的演奏曲"The Happy Whistler"成名的Don Robertson，三月16日以92歲高齡病逝於加州Santa Monica，Don出生於北京，在芝加哥長大，他年輕時就放棄芝加哥大學的學業去當地WGN電台當音樂編輯。

第二次世界大戰期間服役退伍後，Don搬到洛衫磯，後來他寫了不少名曲，包括由Les Paul & Mary Ford、Eddy Arnold、貓王Elvis Presley 及Tommy Edwards 唱紅的"I Really Don't Want To Know"，由Hank Locklin 演唱1960年獲得過第八名的"Please Help Me, I'm Falling"，Lorne Greene唱紅的1964年冠軍曲"Ringo"，以及"I Love You More And More Every Day" (#9-1964 for Al Martino) 與 "Anything That's Part Of You" (a #31 tune for Elvis in 1962)。

"I Really Don't Want To Know"有不少歌手唱過，名次最好的是Tommy Edwards版本，1960年曾得過第18名，貓王Elvis Presley 1971年重唱獲得過第21名，這首歌在當年的台北也很受歡迎，還曾改編為「過去的春夢」以國語演唱。

I Really Don't Want to Know

Elvis Presley

(Words & music by Howard Barnes - Don Robertson)

Oh how many arms have held you

And hated to let you go

How many, oh how many, I wonder

But I really don't want, I don't wanna know

Oh how many lips have kissed you

And set, set your soul aglow, yes they did

How many, oh how many, I wonder, yes I do

But I really don't want to know

So always make, make me wonder

And always make, make me guess

And even, you know even if I ask you

Oh darling oh don't you, don't confess

Just let it, let it remain your secret

Oh for darling, darling I love you so

No wonder, yeah no wonder, I wonder

Mmm, 'cause I really don't want, I don't wanna know
