Summer Kisses Winter Tears was written by Wise – Weisman – Lloyd for 20th Century Foxfilm Flaming Star in 1960. When recording sessions took place on August 8 and October 7, 1960, at Radio Recorders in Hollywood, initially, four songs were composed for the movie, but, “Britches” and “Summer Kisses Winter Tears” were dropped. The soundtrack music in the film consists of only two songs, “Flaming Star” and “A Cane And A High Starched Collar.” An early version of “Flaming Star,” using the film’s working title “Black Star,” was recorded and later released in the 1990s.
Two months after the film’s premiere, RCA released the extended play single Elvis By Request – Flaming Star, catalogue LPC 128, which peaked at #14 on the Billboard Hot 100. It contained the title track and one of the rejected songs, “Summer Kisses, Winter Tears,” along with two of Presley’s chart-topping 1960 singles, “Are You Lonesome Tonight?” and “It’s Now or Never.” “Summer Kisses” would appear on the anniversary compilation album Elvis for Everyone five years later, and “A Cane And A High Starched Collar” would be released on Elvis: A Legendary Performer Volume 2. Finally, “Britches” saw release on Elvis: A Legendary Performer Volume 3 in 1979.
Flaming Star is a 1960 Western film starring Elvis Presley, based on the book Flaming Lance (1958) by Clair Huffaker. Critics agreed that Presley gave one of his best acting performances as the mixed-blood “Pacer Burton”, a dramatic role. The film was directed by Don Siegel, and had a working title of Black Star. The movie reached No. 12 on the box office charts.

Lyrics

Summer kisses, winter tears That was what she gave to me Never thought I’d travel all alone With trails of memory
Happy hour, lonely years But I guess I can’t complain For I still recall the summer song Through all the wandering *The fire of love The fire of love can burn from afar And nothing can light the dark of the night Like a failing star Summer kisses, winter tears Like the stars may fade away Leaving me to spend my lonely nights With dreams of yesterday (*) Leaving me to spend my lonely nights With dreams of yesterday Summer kisses, winter tears |
多少柔情多少淚 作詞：牛雨 多少柔情多少淚 往事如煙去不回 想起過去多少歡樂 如今已隨流水 多少柔情多少淚 良辰美景去不回 剩下一片迷離夢境 夢醒時更悲哀 多情的夢 愛情的夢 如今已消逝 愛情的花 愛情的花 如已枯萎 多少柔情多少淚 淚已流乾心已碎 長夜漫漫往事如煙 如今獨自沉醉 多少柔情多少淚 |
