今天只想聽好歌……

小比利 Billy Gilman 在2000年發行的專輯【One Voice】收錄了這首
 【Oklahoma／奧克拉荷馬州】



歌詞內容敘述自小是孤兒的一個男孩，離開收養他的家庭，
經由社工帶領，前往會晤親身父親的心情感受。


不但歌詞感人，這首歌的MV更是拍攝的賺人熱淚， 
我喜歡片尾的驚喜轉折，
在MV當中一直以第三人角度來敘述這首歌曲的小比利，
到了片尾出現在男孩面前，
讓人又驚喜又感動的……
MV中的小比利正是片中男孩新家庭的成員，
素未謀面的可愛弟弟！


PS: 有沒有覺得 MV 裡的大男孩和小比利長得很像 ，據說是特地去徵選的唷
那個男孩的演技真的很棒~ 當我從頭看到 2:57~3:10 的地方時,
已經忍不住想跟著掉淚了......就好像看了一部電影一樣 !!!

He thought he'd found his home

But with circumstances he can't change

Waves goodbye as they pull away
揮手道別，當他們漸漸走遠

From the life he's known

For the last seven months or so
大概就是前七個月的這段時光吧


She said we found the man who looks like you

Who cried and said he never knew

About the boy in pictures that we showed him

A rambler in his younger days
漫遊著他的年輕歲月

He knew he made a few mistakes

But he swore he would have been there Had he known it
但他發誓唯有經歷過他才會知道

Son we think we found your dad in Oklahoma
孩子，我想我們在奧克拉荷馬州找到你爸爸了


A million thoughts raced through his mind
上百萬個念頭掠過他的心

What's his name, what's he like and will be

Anything like the man in his dreams

She could see the questions in his eyes

Whispered 'don't be scared my child
輕聲道，"不要害怕，我的孩子，

I will let you know, what we know
我會讓你知道一切

Who cried and said he never knew

You always said that this was something that you wanted

Son it's time to meet your Dad in Oklahoma
孩子，是時候去見你在奧克拉荷馬州的爸爸了


One last turn he held his breath
在最後一個轉角處，他摒住呼吸

'Til they reached the fifth house on the left
直到他們到達了左邊的第五間房子

And all at once the tears came rolling in
就在那一刻淚水在眼中打滾著

And as they pulled into the drive
當他們停下車

A man was waiting there outside
一個男人在外面那邊等候著

Who wiped the worry from his eyes

Smiled and took his hand
微笑握著他的手

And he said I'm the man who looks like you
然後他說，我就是那個長得很像你的人

Who cried because I never knew

About that boy in pictures that they showed me
