Those were the days.

Once upon a time there was a tavern. Where we used to raise a glass or two.
Remember how we laughed away the hours. Think of all the great things we would do.
Those were the days, my friend. We thought they'd never end. We'd sing and dance forever and a day. We'd live the life we'd choose. We'd fight and never lose. For we were young and sure to have our way.
La la la la la la la la la. Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days.
Then the busy years went rushing by us. We lost our starry notions on the way. If by chance I'd see you in the tavern. We'd smile at one another and we'd say...
Just tonight I stood before the tavern. Nothing seemed the way it used to be. In the glass I saw a strange reflection. Was that lonely woman really me?
Through the door there came familiar laughter. I saw your face and heard you call my name. Oh my friend we're older but no wiser. For in our hearts the dreams are still the same...

這是我曾經十分喜歡的一闕歌。歌詞令我泫然。「扣人心弦」一詞感受至極。常想我會不會就是歌詞內那個孤獨的女子?老了但是不是聰明了?年輕時肯定選對的,經時間的沖洗後,一切是否如舊?夢是否依然?
昨夜,重溫歌詞,一切久違的感觸剎那重現。韶光苒苒,有的原來只是記憶。
當然,幸好仍有記憶。
情何以堪。

親愛的珊妹:

我也很喜愛這闋歌。妳怎會是lonely woman呢?妳有好老公,有可愛的王子和公主,還有很多愛錫妳的好朋友啊,我是其中一個啊,呵呵。:)

謝謝你。我並不孤獨,心靈上更是十分富足。這一點我可以肯定。只是偶有感觸而已。
