说起塞尔吉奥·门德斯（Sergio Mendes），不是资深的欧美乐迷可能并不熟悉这个名

在1968年的全美Top40中Sergio Mendes一人就独占3曲，让当时的人们感受到一股巴
西流行乐的风暴正在席卷全球。虽然之后的70年代这股热潮有所降温，但是在1983年
他又带着这一曲Never Gonna Let You Go卷土重来。这首歌后来也成为了80年代AOR

1984年，林子祥、叶倩文这对香港歌坛的金童玉女，翻唱了这首金曲。虽然当时的他们
还不是夫妻，但在这首曲子的表演中是不是已经可以看出有点夫妻相了呢。在电钢琴舒缓
的引旋律之后，是林子祥那标志性的磁性嗓音。他往高音区的过渡是如此自然，让人不禁
佩服这个小胡子的强悍唱功。而女生这一边，叶倩文的演绎也丝毫不逊色。独唱时的沉静

歌词
I was as wrong as I could be
To let you get away from me
I'll regret that move
For as long as I'm livin'

But now that I've come to see the light
All I wanna do is make things right
So just say the word
And tell me that I'm forgiven

You and me
We're gonna be better than we were before
I loved you then but now I intend
To open up and love you even more
This time you can be sure

Chorus:
I'm never gonna let you go
I'm gonna hold you in my arms forever
Gonna try and make up for all the times
I hurt you so

Gonna hold your body close to mine
From this day on we're gonna be together
Oh I swear this time
I'm never gonna let you go



Looking back now
It seems so clear
I had it all when you were here
Oh you gave it all
And I took it for granted

But if there's some feeling left in you
Some flickers of love
That still shines through
Let's talk it out
Let's talk about second chances

Wait and see
It's gonna be sweeter than it was before
I gave some then but now I intend
To dedicate myself to giving more
This time you can be sure

(Chorus)

oh..So if you'll just say
You want me too...
