为女歌手劳拉布兰尼根在1983年作的《How Am I Supposed to Live without You》一炮打响,红遍歌坛。接着他又翻唱了已故灵歌巨星奥蒂斯·雷丁的名曲《Sitting on the Dock of the Boy》,获得成功。接着Bolton又重唱了《How Am I Supp-osed To Live Without You》,听来令人激情荡漾。
这首90年代初排行榜上的冠军歌曲,使他获得了该年度的葛莱美流行男歌手奖。从此开始,推出了一系列碧浪灵歌《How Can We Be Lovers》,《Love Is A Wonderful Thing》。91年的专辑《Time Love and Te-nderness》一经问世,迅速荣登榜首,在数月里保持在前十的位置。Michael Bolton凭藉独特的演绎和声线,以及极富创意的作词、作曲的才华,赢得了乐迷的欣赏,成为当今乐坛炙手可热的红星。
麦可波顿 How Am I Supposed to Live without You
I could hardly believe it, when I heard the news today I had to come and get it straight from you They said you were leaving, someone’s swept your heart away From the look upon your face, I see it’s true. So tell me all about it, tell me ’bout the plans you’re making Then tell me one thing more before I go
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you Now that I’ve been loving you so long How am I supposed to live without you How am I supposed to carry on When all that I’ve been living for is gone.
I didn’t come here for crying, didn’t come here to break down It’s just a dream of mine is coming to an end And how can I blame you, when I build my world around The hope that one day we’d be so much more than friends And I don’t want to know the price i’m gonna pay for dreaming When even now it’s more than I can take
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you Now that I’ve been loving you so long How am I supposed to live without you How am I supposed to carry on When all that I’ve been living for is gone.
And I don’t want to face the price I’m gonna pay for dreaming Now that your dream has come true.
