Xanadu電影(5) – 深情的挽留Don’t Walk away

Xanadu原電影基本是想以當紅的奧莉花妞頓莊掛頭牌，所以很多歌都是女主角有份唱出，Don’t Walk away是少數男聲獨唱的歌，大致是Kira在幫助完Sonny後，是時候要離去，Sonny要設法把她留住的心聲。

在舞台版本，加入了Kira兩個奸的姊姊向Danny擺弄，使Kira未必能抽身的情節。也一提的是可以有兩個姊姊轉為由男士「出任」，以使男女演員數目較均衡。改良的舞台版的確比原電影悅目，對它的評論比電影大為不同，且曾獲得最佳劇作獎。難得它還原封不動利用到電影中的歌詞。這是一齣輕喜劇，沒有如弧星淚等大劇目般宏大和沉重，詞也簡明易懂，可能因此令它更為校園表演所喜愛。

今次的選段是在北卡州歷史悠久的Thalian Hall的演出。

(Sonny)

Why do I say

Don't walk away

You'll be the way you were before

When you don't want me anymore

Don't turn around

Don't ever leave

A lonely room where empty days

Are gathering to meet me when you're gone, gone

How in the world will I go on

(Don't walk away)

All you gotta do is stay

(Don't walk away)

All you gotta do is stay

(Don't walk away)

Don't walk away (don't walk away),

Don't say goodbye (don't say goodbye)

Don't turn around (don't turn around),

Don't let it die (don't let it die)

When shadows fall (when shadows fall),

When day is done (when day is done)

All through the night (all through the night),

All of my life (all of my life)

Don't walk away

(Danny)

Is it a dream,

When will it end

When everything we've ever known

Has ended and I'm all alone

Where will I go

Where will I be

The feelings that I've never shown

Maybe I'll find the answer when you're gone, gone

How in the world will I go on

(Don't walk away)

All you gotta do is stay

(Don't walk away)

All you gotta do is stay

(Don't walk away)

(Sonny)

Don't walk away (don't walk away),

Don't say goodbye (don't say goodbye)

Don't turn around (don't turn around),

Don't let it die (don't let it die)

When shadows fall (when shadows fall),

When day is done (when day is done)

All through the night (all through the night),

All of my life (all of my life)

Don't walk away (don't walk away),

Don't say goodbye (don't say goodbye)

Don't turn around (don't turn around),

Don't let it die (don't let it die)

When shadows fall (when shadows fall),

When day is done (when day is done)

All through the night (all through the night),

All of my life (all of my life)

Don't walk away
