月光代表我的心 – David Tao 陶喆
作詞：孫儀/陶喆/娃娃
作曲：翁清溪/陶喆
編曲：陶喆
都怪那晚的月光 浪漫的讓人心慌
其實原來沒有怎樣 只是夜有一點涼 愛忽然難捨難放
彎彎月亮在天上 看我們愛的癡狂
什麼誓言都不要講 我的吻在你肩膀 在你耳邊輕輕唱
你問我愛你有多深 我愛你有幾分
我的情也真 我的愛也那麼真 月亮代表我的心 oh yeah
圓圓月亮在天上 看人們聚散無常
一個人在街上遊蕩 愛恨心裡已兩茫茫 yeah 我沒有想像堅強
初一十五的月亮(有些憂傷) 天天變的不一樣(在你臉上)
原來所謂地久天長 也只是誤會一場 那首歌我慢慢唱
你問我愛你有多深 我愛你有幾分
我的情不移 我的愛也不會變 月亮代表我的心 oh yeah
輕輕的一個吻(輕輕baby just a little kiss)曾經打動你的心(打動你的心)
深深的一段情(一段情) 成了回憶到如今(從此我會永遠思念)
我問你愛我有多深 你愛我有幾分
你去想一想 你去看一看 月亮代表誰的心
月亮代表誰的心 月亮代表誰的心
