人はなぜ歌を歌うのか。
この「チェット・アトキンス＆フレンズ」の映像に
その答えのひとつを見つけることができる。
この「チェット・アトキンス＆フレンズ」の映像に
その答えのひとつを見つけることができる。
「鏡に映る自分を見るたび父のことを思い出す…」
と語り彼は静かにギターをつま弾く。
歌が始まり歌い終わるまでの短い時間
この場所に居合わせた一人一人が
思い思いの"I still can't say good-by"
を胸の奥で歌ってる。
一番会いたい人を想いながら。
人はなぜ歌を歌うのか。
それは歌を歌っている間は
いつでも会いたい人に会えるからだ。
（以下引用）
I still can't say good-bye
by R. Binn, J. Moore
When I was young, my Dad would say
Come on Son let's go out and play
Sometimes it seems like yesterday
And I'd climb up the closet shelf
When I was all by my-self
Grab his hat and fix the brim
Pretending I was him
No matter how hard I try
No matter how many tears I cry
No matter how many years go by
I still can't say good-bye
He always took care of Mom and me.
We all cut down a Christmas tree
He always had some time for me
Wind blows through the trees
Street lights, they still shine bright
Most things are the same
but I miss my Dad to-night
I walked by a Salvation Army store
Saw a hat like my daddy wore
Tried it on when I walked in Still trying to be like him
No matter how hard I try
No matter how many years go by
No matter how many tears I cry
I still can't say good-bye
I still can't say good-bye
