愛在地球毀滅時

By 李國祥

願思念是並沒盡頭
沒有依附現在過去或以後
即使這驅殼有一朝化盡塵垢
仍能跟你 纏綿於宇宙
霓虹上有雪 灑得多撇脱
像向天地萬物作 最後告別
分不清季節 這冰冷四月
眼前的世界 景色悽迷決絕
抓一把細雪 放於手灼熱
但願不再怕北風深寒刺裂
緊緊擁抱你 再一次吻別
我們不要説再見 免得心更酸
願思念是並沒盡頭
沒有依附現在過去或以後
即使這驅殼有一朝化盡塵垢
仍能跟你 纏綿於宇宙
霓虹上有雪 灑得多撇脱
像向天地萬物作 最後告別
分不清季節 這冰冷四月
眼前的世界 景色悽迷決絕
抓一把細雪 放於手灼熱
但願不再怕北風深寒刺裂
深深的愛過 永不會泯滅
過渡千世百劫都不能間斷
悲傷不要説 太匆匆歲月
現在應與你相戀的人吻別
分不清季節 這冰冷四月
眼前的世界 景色悽迷決絕
悲傷不要説 太匆匆歲月
現在應與你相戀的人吻別
分不清季節 這冰冷四月
我們不要説再見 隨着世界破滅
