The Hours

 I’ll remember –Madonna

 Say good-bye
Not knowing when the truth in my whole life began
Say good-bye
Not knowing how to cry you taught me that

And I’ll remember
The strength that you gave me
Now that I’m standing on my own
I’ll remember
The way you saved me
I’ll remember

Inside I was a child
That could not mend a broken wing
Outside I looked for a way
To teach my heart to sing

Chorus:
And I’ll remember
The love that you gave me
Now that I’m standing on my own
I’ll remember
The way you changed me
I’ll remember

I learned to let go
Of the illusion that we can possess
I learned to let go
I travel in stillness
And I remember
Happiness
I’ll remember
I’ll remember
(Repeat chorus) 

No I’ve never been afraid to cry
Now I final have a reason why
I’ll remember

心血來潮把CD翻出來轉mp3，發現在我少少的收藏裡娜姐的專輯就佔了三張。這首I’ll remember收錄在早期性感情歌精選”Something to remember”專輯中，大概是我高中左右的時候買的，歷史頗為悠久，聽的很爛很膩之後就束之高閣，如今重溫往日情懷，種種回憶爭先恐後的一擁而上，再靜靜的聽著娜姐唱”I learned to let go. Of the illusion that we can possess”，點點滴滴慢慢融解，顯露出在這些日子裡的way I change，於是可以坦然說出”I’ve never been afraid to cry”。就像德妹說過：Madonna的東西有時候雖然很浮濫，但你就是不得不佩服她。除了華麗又充滿勁道的舞台表現，情歌唱得有點挑逗、又有點深沉，每個時期不停變換的曲風也都各有特色，強烈的個人色彩讓人懾服於她的決心和行動力，也由衷為她同時扮演經典進行式及未來潮流創造者的腳色喝采，I’ll remember Madonna forever。
