Brenda Russell -Piano In The Dark

  今天介紹一首R&B歌曲，Brenda Russell的Piano In The Dark。

  1988年流行歌壇最紅的歌星是已逝的Whitney Houston(1963-2012)與George Michael(1963-2016)，他們都出生於1963年，Whitney Houston是一位R&B歌曲起家的影歌巨星，George Michael則是1988年的冠軍歌星(# 1 Hot 100 Artist of 1988)。他倆加上Rick Astley、Guns N' Roses、Tiffany、Michael Jackson及Gloria Estefan & Msm…，相信老歌迷們腦海裡已經浮現了無數美好的回憶。

  在1988年年終排行榜獲得第81名的Piano in the Dark是R&B女歌手Brenda Russell 一首懷念的旋律，是當年夏天在Billboard Hot 100榜獲得過第6名的一首動聽的情歌。

When I find myself watching the time

I never think about all the funny things you said

I feel like it's dead

Where is it leading me now?

I turn around in the still of the room

Knowing this is when I'm gonna make my move

Can't wait any longer

And I'm feeling stronger, but oh

Just as I walk to the door

I can feel your emotion

It's pulling me back

Back to love you

I know, caught up in the middle

I cry just a little

When I think of letting go

Oh no, gave up on the riddle

I cry just a little

When he plays piano in the dark

He holds me close like a thief of the heart

He plays a melody

Born to tear me all apart

The silence is broken

And no words are spoken, but oh

Just as I walk to the door

I can feel your emotion

It's pulling me back

Back to love you

I know, caught up in the middle

I cry just a little

When I think of letting go

Oh no, gave up on the riddle

I cry just a little

When he plays piano in the dark

The silence is broken

And no words are spoken, but oh

Just as I walk to the door

I can feel your emotion

Oh baby, pull me back

Back to love you

I know, I'm caught up in the middle

I cry just a little

When I think of letting go

Oh no, gave up on the riddle

I cry just a little

I cry, I cry

I know, I'm caught up in the middle

I cry just a little

When I think of letting go

Oh no, gave up on the riddle

I cry just a little

When he plays piano in the dark
