講妳知 – Jacky Cheung 張學友
作詞：張學友
作曲：張學友
看你背面 我身體欠自然
看你正面 兩手失控再顫
看你笑面 我開心數夜數天
與你說話 我啞口會無言
與你碰面 我體溫會亂變
與你貼面 一世的經典
若你肯 再擁抱緊一點
我願意用我十年
去換我共你十天
要講你知 你的意義
每當我的心肝跳一次
沒法知 難制止
你是血液深於我每一處
要講你知 我的故事
這一秒 即使心再不跳
在記憶 潛意識
愛是已在心中永世不變
與你說話 我啞口會無言
與你碰面 我體溫會亂變
與你貼面 一世的經典
若你肯 再擁抱緊一點
我願意用我十年
去換我共你十天
要講你知 你的意義
每當我的心肝跳一次
沒法知 難制止
你是血液深於我每一處
要講你知 我的故事
這一秒 即使心再不跳
在記憶 潛意識
愛是已在心中永世不變
光陰可以瞬間轉數十年
生死起跌也知不會倖免
當只有愛的感覺未曾變
