이태리 출신의 빅밴드 리트모 신포니카의 2005년 앨범으로 이미 평론의 극찬을 받았던 전작 ‘Around The Blues’에 이어 2년 만에 선보인 작품이다. 앨범 타이틀에서 짐작되듯 미국 출신의 전설적인 작곡가 버트 바카라의 작품들을 해석하고 있으며 싱그러운 보이스가 인상적인 여성 싱어 실비아 테스토니가 전곡의 보컬을 담당하여 한층 풍성하며 파퓰러한 빅밴드 사운드를 경험할 수 있다. 대부분의 곡들이 뛰어나지만 이중 카렌 카펜터즈의 따스한 보이스를 연상케하는 ‘Close To You’와 유려한 빅밴드 재즈의 편곡이 돋보이는 ‘Alfie’ 등은 반드시 필청을 권한다. .... ....
Why do birds suddenly apear Every time you are near? Just like me They long to be Close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky Every time you walk by? Just like me They long to be Close to you
On the day that you were born And the angels got together And decided to create a dream come true So they sprinkled moon dust In your hair of gold And starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why All the girls in town Follow you all around Just like me They long to be Close to you
On the day that you were born And the angels got together And decided to create a dream come true So they sprinkled moon dust In your hair of gold And starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why All the girls in town Follow you all around Just like me They long to be Close to you
Make believe That you don't see the tears Just let me grieve In private 'cause each time I see you I break down and cry And walk on by (Don't stop) And walk on by (Don't stop) And walk on by
I just can't get over losing you And so if I seem broken and blue Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride Is all that I have left So let me hide The tears and the sadness you gave me When you said goodbye Walk on by And walk on by And walk by (Don't stop)
Walk on by, walk on by Foolish pride Is all that I have left So let me hide The tears and the sadness you gave me When you said goodbye Walk on by (Don't stop) And walk on by (Don't stop) And walk by (Don't stop)
These rooms play tricks upon you Remember when they were always filled with laughter? But now they're quite deserted They seem to just echo voices raised in anger Maybe you will see my face Reflected there on the pane In the window of our poor Forlorn and broken home
Still this house is empty now There's nothing I can do To make you want to stay So tell me how Am I supposed to live without you?
These walls were lined with pictures Remember the glass we charged in celebration? But now I fill my life up With all that I can to deaden this sensation
Do you recognize the face Fixed in that fine silver frame Were you really so unhappy then? You never said
So this house is empty now There's nothing I can do To make you want to stay So tell me how Am I supposed to live without you?
Oh, if I could just become forgetful When night seems endless Does the extinguished candle care About the darkness?
It's funny how my memory Will bring you so close then make you disappear
Meanwhile all our friends must choose Who they will favour, who they will lose Hang the garland high or close the door And throw away the key
This house is empty now There's no one living here You have to care about This house is empty now There's nothing I can do To make you want to stay So tell me how Am I supposed to live without you?
This house is empty now There's no one living here You have to care about This house is empty now There's nothing I can do To make you want to stay So tell me how Am I supposed to live without you?

The moment I wake up Before I put on my make-up I say a little prayer for you While combing my hair now And wond'ring what dress to wear now I say a little prayer for you
Forever and ever you'll stay in my heart And I will love you Forever and ever we never will part Oh, how I'll love you Together Forever that's how it must be. To live without you Would only mean heart break for me
I run for the bus, dear While riding I think of us dear I say a little prayer for you At work I just take time and all through my coffee break time I say a little prayer for you
Forever and ever you'll stay in my heart And I will love you Forever and ever we never will part Oh, how I'll love you Together Forever that's how it must be. To live without you Would only mean heart break for me

What's it all about, Alfie? Is it just for the moment we live? What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie? Are we meant to take more than we give Or are we meant to be kind?
And if only fools are kind, Alfie Then I guess it's wise to be cruel And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie What will you lend on an old golden rule? As sure as I believe there's a heaven above, Alfie I know there's something much more Something even non-believers can believe in
I believe in love, Alfie Without true love we just exist, Alfie Until you find the love you've missed you're nothing, Alfie When you walk let your heart lead the way And you'll find love any day, Alfie Alfie . . .
