“To cheer up little girl blue…”*
Nina Simone 的歌聲漸行漸遠 依稀費莉亞曲終的呢喃:
“Farewell, farewell…”**
爵士與古典相會 於人性幽微深處
以慈悲不捨
填滿空留的遺憾 ──人生宿命的居所 融涵八方風雨
和貼附在脆弱旋律線上的 慰藉

2.Little girl blue 歌詞( Richard Rodgers, Lorenz Hart )
Sit there and count your fingers
What can you do
Old girl you're through
Sit there, count your little fingers
Unhappy little girl blue.
Sit there and count the raindrops
Falling on you
It's time you knew
All you can ever count on
Are the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue
Won't you just sit there
Count the little raindrops
Falling on you
'Cause it's time you knew
All you can ever count on
Are the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue
No use old girl
You might as well surrender
'Cause your hopes are getting slender and slender
Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
To cheer up little girl blue
