髮如雪 Hair Like Snow – Jay Chou 周杰倫
作詞：方文山
作曲：周杰倫
狼牙月 伊人憔悴
我舉杯 飲盡了風雪
是誰打翻前世櫃 惹塵埃是非
緣字訣 幾番輪迴
妳鎖眉 哭紅顏喚不回
縱然青史已經成灰 我愛不滅
繁華如三千東流水 我只取一瓢愛了解
只戀妳化身的蝶
妳髮如雪 淒美了離別
我焚香感動了誰
邀明月 讓回憶皎潔
愛在月光下完美
妳髮如雪 紛飛了眼淚
我等待蒼老了誰
紅塵醉 微醺的歲月
我用無悔 刻永世愛妳的碑
Rap:
你髮如雪 淒美了離別
我焚香感動了誰
邀明月 讓回憶皎潔
愛在月光下完美
你髮如雪 紛飛了眼淚
我等待蒼老了誰
紅塵醉 微醺的歲月
啦兒啦 啦兒啦 啦兒啦兒啦
啦兒啦 啦兒啦 啦兒啦兒啦
銅鏡映無邪 紮馬尾
妳若撒野 今生我把酒奉陪
