诗　韵

Today we took a walk up the street

And picked a flower and climbed the hill above the lake

And secret thoughts were said aloud

We watched the faces in the clouds

Until the clouds had blown away

And were we ever somewhere else

You know, it's hard to say

And I never saw blue like that before

Across the sky, around the world

You've given me all you have and more

No one else has ever shown me how

To see the world the way I see it now

Oh, I, I never saw blue like that

I can't believe a month ago

I was alone; I didn't know you

I've never seen or heard your name

And even now, I'm so amazed

It's like a dream; it's like a rainbow

It's like the rain

And some things are the way they are

And words just can't explain

(Refrain)

It feels like now; it feels always and it feels like coming home

(Refrain)

水泥森林中的我们，以为竞争和工作就是我们应追求的一切，在所谓的成长中变得越来越麻木，越来越现实。我们不再相信真爱，不再相信童话；忘了小时候单纯而美好的梦想，忘了这个世界上其实有蔚蓝的天空，湛蓝的海水。

2005年，在安徒生诞辰200周年纪念音乐会上，新西兰女歌手Hayley Westenra以其透明如水晶般的纯净嗓音，演唱了“Never Saw Blue Like That”。随着钢琴旋律的缓缓响起，我们仿佛看到了童话里美人鱼眼中那别样的蓝。虽然这首歌最初是美国著名民谣女歌手Shawn Colvin为电影Runaway Bride(《落跑新娘》)演唱的插曲，但经过Hayley Westenra的演绎，这首歌被赋予了新的涵义。它提醒在现代生活中奔波忙碌的人们，要适时停下匆匆的脚步，看看路边平凡却动人的风景，看看那从未见过的蓝色……

Hayley Westenra有着天使般的脸庞，更有一颗天使般的爱心，现为联合国儿童基金会最年轻的终身形象大使。其热销专辑有：Pure(2003)、Odyssey(2005)、Treasure(2007)等。“Never Saw Blue Like That”出自专辑Odyssey。
