さて、日本で石川優子さんの「シンデレラ サマー」がヒットしていた頃、アメリカのヒットチャートをかけ昇っていたのは、この名曲ですね！！
「ニューヨーク・シティ・セレナーデ」という放題がつけられていたクリストファー・クロスの “ Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do) ” は、その本来のタイトルの通り、故ダドリー・ムーア（2002年没・享年66歳）と現在は74歳のライザ・ミネリ、そして、イギリスの名優の故ジョン・ギールグッド（2000年没・享年96歳）が共演した80年代のロマコメ映画の代表作「ミスター・アーサー」と共にヒットし、第54回アカデミー賞（最優秀作品賞は「炎のランナー」）の最優秀オリジナル主題歌賞にも選ばれた名曲ですから、CIA リーダーの映画ファンの皆さんはよく、ご存知のはずですが、2008年のカフェ・カーライルのバージョンで、あらためて、お楽しみください！！
Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)
Songwriters: Burt F. Bacharach / Carole Bayer Sager / Christopher Cross / Paul Allen
Once in your life you find her
Someone that turns your heart around
And next thing you know you're closing down the town
Wake up and it's still with you
Even though you left her way across town
Wondering to yourself, "Hey, what've I found?"
When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do
The best that you can do is fall in love
Arthur he does as he pleases
All of his life, he's mastered choice
Deep in his heart, he's just, he's just a boy
Living his life one day at a time
And showing himself a really good time
Laughing about the way they want him to be
When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do (the best that you can do)
The best that you can do is fall in love
When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do (the best that you can do)
The best that you can do is fall in love
When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do (the best that you can do)
The best that you can do is fall in love
When you get caught between the moon and New York City
(I know it's crazy)
