[オヤスミソング:001] The Greatest Love of All - Geroge Benson

思いつきで新コーナー「おやすみソング」シリーズ開始です。

第一弾はこの曲、
The Greatest Love of All - George Benson


Songwriters: Masser, Michael / Creed, Linda

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody is searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone to fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me

Chorus:
I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be

Chorus

And if by chance, that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love
Quoted from LYRICSMODE
至高の愛は自己の内に。

私はホイットニー・ヒューストンのデビュー盤でこの曲を知ったのですが、その後レコードを買い漁るようになって手に入れたLP(モハメド・アリの伝記映画のOST)に上掲のオリジナルバージョンが収録されていて驚きました。因みにそのLPのタイトルトラックは、猪木ボンバイエのオリジナルとして有名ですかね。演奏はマンドリル。

それでは、良い夢を。オヤスミナサイ(つ∀-)オヤスミー
