Never gonna let you go
I was as wrong as I could be
To let you get away from me
I'll regret that move
For as long as I'm livin'
But now that I've come to see the light
All I want to do is make things right
So just say the word
And tell me that I'm forgiven
You and me
We're gonna be better than we were before
I loved you then but now I intend
To open up and love you even more
This time you can be sure
I'm never gonna let you go
I'm gonna hold you in my arms forever
Gonna try and make up
For all the times I hurt you so
Gonna hold your body close to mine
From this day on we're gonna be together
Oh, I swear this time
I'm never gonna let you go
Looking back now
It seems so clear
I had it all when you were here
Oh, you gave it all
And I took it for granted
But if there's some feeling left in you
Some flickers of love
That still shines through
Let's talk it out , let's talk about second chances
Wait and see
It's gonna be, sweeter than it was before
I gave some then but now I intend
To dedicate myself to give it more
This time you can be sure
I'm never gonna let you go
I'm gonna hold you in my arms forever
Gonna try and make up
For all the times I hurt you so
Gonna hold your body close to mine
From this day on, we're gonna be together
Oh, I swear this time
I'm never gonna let you go
Oh ...
So if you'll just say
You want me too, I'm ...
I'm never gonna let you go
I'm gonna hold you in my arms forever
Gonna try and make up
For all the times I hurt you so
Gonna hold your body close to mine
From this day on, we're gonna be together
Oh, I swear this time
I'm never gonna let you go
I'm never gonna let you go
I'm gonna hold you in my arms forever
Gonna try and make up
For all the times I hurt you so
Gonna hold your body close to mine
From this day on, we're gonna be together
Oh, I swear this time
I'm never gonna let you go
Sergio Mendes
Album, Sergio Mendes 9 in total, including the one above
1983年Billboard Hot100 最高位4位にランクインしたこの曲。
当時は気づかなかったんだけど、今聞いてみると曲調が名プロデューサーでもあるデヴィッド・フォスターのやつに似てるんで調べてみたら、オリジナルは、1982年のディオンヌ・ワーウィックのアルバム、「Friends In Love」の収録曲で、元エア・プレイのジェイ・グレイドンがプロデースしたものだと分かった。エア・プレイと言えば、デヴィッド・フォスター＆ジェイ・グレイドンがコンビを組んだもの。納得がいきました。

Pretty World
Why don't we take a little piece of summer sky
Hang it on a tree?
For that's the way to start to make a pretty world
For you and for me
And for the sun we'll find a lemon bright balloon
You can hold the string
Oh can't you see this little world of ours will be
The prettiest things?
We can gather rain enough from a stream
To hold our happy faces
If you want a breeze
I'll blow you a kiss or two
Take me in your arms
And our little world will be the place of places
Nothing else to make
But breakfast and love
We'll hang a little sign that just says
Paradise population two
I know together we can make a pretty world
For me and for you
For you
That's what I'm longing to do
To do
To make a world with you
