相片 唱片 碎片

By The Pancakes

夜寂沒有星 天空倍覺平靜
獨坐沒作聲 只聽到耳嗚
這晚我想起你共我過去某承諾
隨着日落日出多少次
慢慢地像煙消散
昨日共你山間賞花 笑笑過炎夏
現在剩你沙灘數沙 與螞蟻談話
你要記不起我是我 過去笑和淚
全部掉進深深海里 給衝得粉碎
如可將思憶變做唱片
如塵埃不阻往事浮現
我會寄給你 來代替不應該的見面
如可將感覺變做相片
留低一張張用來懷念
當天你你你你你仍是這樣美
願望共你某個雨天某處再重聚
就讓大雨替我掩飾兩串眼淚
你會看不清我是我 待冷雨變成雹
隨人羣共你摩肩走過 再消失於海角
如可將思憶變做唱片
如塵埃不阻往事浮現
我會寄給你 來代替會使我哭的見面
如可將感覺變做相片
留低一張張用來懷念
當天你你你你你仍是這樣美
如可將思憶變做相片
能抵擋風霜雪雹雷電
我太記得你 才令我不小心把你掛念
如一天衰老了 雙手發痺
執筆也缺力氣
深心之中你你你你你仍是這樣美
如一天思憶變左碎片
回望萬萬千千東西都不及
你與我那晚離別的合照
