Starting over by John Lenon  2025年3月26日(水)

本日はJohn Lenonの歌だけでお願いします。好きな歌です。もう知らない人も多いのでしょうね。

 (just Like) Starting Over

Our life together is so precious together

We have grown, we have grown

Although our love is still special

Let's take a chance and fly away somewhere alone

It's been too long since we took the time

No-one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly

But when I see you darling

It's like we both are falling in love again

It'll be just like starting over, starting over

Everyday we used to make it love

Why can't we be making love nice and easy

It's time to spread our wings and fly

Don't let another day go by my love

It'll be just like starting over, starting over

Why don't we take off alone?

Take a trip somewhere far, far away

We'll be together all alone again

Like we used to in the early days

Well, well, well darling

It's been too long since we took the time

No-one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly

But when I see you darling

It's like we both are falling in love again

It'll be just like starting over, starting over

Our life together is so precious together

We have grown, we have grown

Although our love is still special

Let's take a chance and fly away somewhere

Starting over

Starting over 「やり直し」は、好きな歌です。そのままと言えばそのままで、JohnとYokoのその時なのでしょう。しかし、私はこの歌を聴くと、単純に「やり直そう」という気になります。

やり直したいことはたくさんあります。「人生が二度あれば」などといつも思います。しかし、それはないわけです。いつもその時その日を何があっても生きていかなければならないのは事実です。「後悔先に立たず」もその通りです。でも「もう一度二人でやり直そう」というのは、虚しい響きです。John Lenonはそれをあからさまに歌っています。また、それが嫌味なく、私のこころにスッと入ってきます。これは何なんでしょうよう。
