劉美君於新力出版了最後一張專輯之後﹐即移民美國﹐兩年後她再度露面﹐不過是在林憶蓮的英語專輯中現身。

這張為針對台灣市場的“愛是唯一”專輯中﹐林憶蓮請來齊豫 (Chyi)﹑杜麗莎 (Teresa Carpio) 及劉美君 (Prudence) 一同合唱﹐灌錄了這一首 I Swear。

I Swear - 林憶蓮 / 齊豫 / 杜麗莎 / 劉美君﹕原是 All-4-One 的歌曲﹐收錄於All-4-One 同名專輯 (1994/Blitzz/Atlantic) 中﹐這個四人合唱的版本﹐收錄於林憶蓮“愛是唯一” 英語專輯 (1996/滾石) 中。
(Frank J. Meyers / Gary Baker)


(All) I swear by the moon and the stars in the skies
And I swear like the shadow that's by your side

(Sandy) I see the questions in your eyes
I know what's weighing on your mind
You can be sure I know my part
(Prudence) 'Cause I'll stand beside you through the years
(Teresa) You'll only cry those happy tears
(Chyi) And though I'd make mistakes
(Sandy) I'll never break your heart
(Teresa & Prudence) And I swear by the moon and the stars in the skies
(Sandy) I'll be there
(Teresa & Prudence) I swear like the shadow that's by your side
(Sandy) I'll be there
(Chyi) For better or worse, till death do us part
(All) I'll love you with every beat of my heart
(Sandy) And I swear

(Sandy) I'll give you everything I can
I'll build you dreams with these two hands
We'll hang some memories on the walls
(Teresa & Chyi) And when just the two of us are there
You won't have to ask if I'd still care
(Prudence & Chyi) 'Cause as the time turns the page
My love won't age at all
(All) And I swear by the moon and the stars in the skies
(Sandy) I'll be there
(Prudence) I'll be there
(All) I Swear like the shadow that's by your side
(Chyi) I'll be there
(Sandy) I'll be there
(All) For better or worse, till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart and I swear

(All) I swear by the moon and the stars in the skies
(Sandy) I'll be there (All) I'll be there
(All) I swear like the shadow that's by your side
(Sandy) I'll be there
(Teresa) I'll be there
(Prudence) For better or worse
(Chyi) Better or worse
(Teresa) Till death do us part
(Chyi) Oh, no
(All) I'll love you with every beat of my heart
(Sandy) And I swear, I swear


翌年﹐林憶蓮在台灣推出第二張英語專輯“美妙世界”﹐主打歌再次請來齊豫與劉美君合唱What A Wonderful World﹐但是這一次劉美君與齊豫的角色只屬配角而已﹐負責的只是合音。

What A Wonderful World - 林憶蓮 / 齊豫 / 劉美君﹕收錄於林憶蓮的“美妙世界”(1997/滾石) 專輯中。原唱為 Sam Cooke (1960/Keen)﹐不過她們的版本跟 Art Garfunkel﹑Paul Simon 與 James Taylor合唱的版本 (1977/Columbia) 較接近。
(H. Alpert / L. Adler / S. Cooke)


What a wonderful, wonderful, world this would be
What a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful world.
Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about science book
Don't know much about the French I took
But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful, wonderful world this would be.

Don't know much about geography
Don't know much trigonometry
Don't know much about algebra
I don't know what a slide rule is for
But I do know one and one is two
And if this one could be with you
What a wonderful, wonderful world this would be
What a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful world.

Now I don't claim to be an 'A' student,
But I'm trying to be
I think that maybe by being an 'A' student, baby babe,
I could win your love for me.
Don't know much about the middle ages
Looked at the picture and I turned the pages
Don't know nothin' 'bout no rise and fall
Don't know nothin' 'bout nothin' at all
It's you that I've been thinking of
And if I could only win your love
What a wonderful, wonderful world this would be
What a wonderful, wonderful world this would be
What a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful world
What a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful world
What a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful world...
