Times of Your Life - Paul Anka

Paul Anka，原籍加拿大，在1990年歸化為美國籍。他有黎巴嫩和亞美尼亞血統，背景十分多元。

瘦瘦小小的他，唱作俱佳，極具才華，十多歲的年紀，就在歌壇大放異彩，以他自己創作的 Diana，Put Your Head on My Shoulder 受到矚目，真是英雄出少年。歌壇長青樹的 Anka 並在 1993 年光榮入選「歌曲作者名人堂」，為他的演藝事業立下一個里程碑。

目前已是六十高齡的他，仍然活躍。曾在 Las Vegas（慾望之都）客串演出，寶刀未老，令人驚喜。

今天介紹這首「Times of Your Life」是他在 1975 年的作品。印象中，曾為國內相片業者選為廣告主題曲。

這首歌在感慨倏忽無情的物換星移，也為逝去的往日時光感到哀傷。曲子卻是十分溫馨動人，尤其一開始，有濃濃的黃昏味，似乎夕陽就在眼前。有回爬山，下山途中正好遇到晚霞滿天，腦中馬上響起了這音樂，哈哈，自備「腦中音響」，十分享受之事。

Paul Anka 的曲風極多變，不知是否與他的多國血統有關。
下回再介紹他的歌，一定很難讓你聯想到，是出自同一人之手。

Good morning, yesterday
You wake up and time has slipped away
And suddenly it's hard to find
The memories you left behind
Remember, do you remember

The laughter and the tears
The shadows of misty yesteryears
The good times and the bad you've seen
And all the others in between
Remember, do you remember
The times of your life (do you remember)

Reach back for the joy and the sorrow
Put them away in your mind
The mem'ries are time that you borrow
To spend when you get to tomorrow

Here comes the saddest part (comes the saddest part)
The seasons are passing one by one
So gather moments while you may
Collect the dreams you dream today
Remember, will you remember
The times of your life

Gather moments while you may
Collect the dreams you dream today
Remember, will you remember
The times of your life
Of your life
Of your life

Do you remember, baby
Do you remember the times of your life
Do you remember, baby
Do you remember the times of your life
