「彼女が私を愛してくれていたとき」

またしてもディズニー系で失礼します。ディズニー映画は名曲の宝庫です。私のお気に入り映画のひとつ「トイ・ストーリー2」では、お人形のジェシーが持ち主の女の子に捨てられてしまう場面で、愛されていたときを思い出してこんな曲を歌います。”Every hour we spent together, lives within my heart. When she loved me.”「いつでも一緒だった、そのときのことは忘れない。彼女が私を愛してくれていた、そのときのこと。」とても美しく切ない曲に、おもわず涙もホロリ、です。

When She Loved Me
by Randy Newman

When somebody loved me, everything was beautiful
Every hour we spent together, lives within my heart
And when she was sad, I was there to dry her tears
And when she was happy, so was I, when she loved me.

Through the summer and the fall, we had each other, that was all
Just she and I together, like it was meant to be
And when she was lonely, I was there to comfort her
And I knew that she loved me.

So the years went by, I stayed the same
But she began to drift away, I was left alone
Still I waited for the day, when she’d say “I will always love you.”

Lonely and forgotten, never thought she’d look my way,
And she smiled at me and held me, just like she used to do,
Like she loved me, when she loved me

When somebody loved me, everything was beautiful,
Every hour we spent together, lives within my heart
When she loved me.
