再見亦是朋友

By 羣星

期望你轉身 與我相斯守
輾轉錯 錯了未願放手
緣盡我早知 卻也等候
只因你 冷暖自願嘗透
對你的愛心 亦已看得透
但我知此刻 美夢不會久
緣份太感傷 盼你多見諒
不相見 免卻日後惆悵
長夜冷冰冰 每次温暖後
痴痴愛 我拒絕任你走
明白你處境 我也得接受
不可説 再見亦是朋友
看你心痛苦 沒法去補救
若再不歸家 找不到籍口
凝望你眼睛 有更深感受
痴痴意 放棄亦未能夠
寧願我委屈 決意不退後
真的愛 我倆靜候已久
期望再期望 這裏一個夢
不消散 永遠墮入迷惘
你我皆痛苦 沒法愛得夠
蜜意低低斟 飲千種美酒
唯願我留下 愛你千千個晚上
唯願你留下
輕撫你百遍亦未曾夠
輕撫我百遍亦未曾夠
