Sorry wasn’t good enough
A song without meter and rhyme
A long forgotten promise I recalled I made to you
A candle flame dies in the wind
It looks like it’s about to rain, about to rain

Spirals from your cigarette
Your sweet perfume on my pillow
Messages you left me still sing like some lullaby
Pretty pictures on the wall
Hopes in us will rise & fall, rise & fall

And in the rain
In summer days too
When the willow tree weeps too
Under the street light so bright
I’ll remember you everyday

The plane leaves in an hour’s time
Hold me till our last goodbye
Silence is the only sound
No words can speak it through
I’ll breathe your breath for one last time
You’ll be strong and so will I, so will I

And in the rain
In summer days too
When the willow tree weeps too
Under the street light so bright
I’ll remember you
I’ll remember you
I’ll remember you
Everyday

In her latest Songs For Lover album, 顺子 did her own refreshing rendition of Billy Joel’s Just the Way You Are. Really love the lyrics and the chord progressions on this. I need to learn this on the guitar.

Don’t go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don’t imagine you’re too familiar
And I don’t see you anymore

I would not leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I’ll take the bad times
I’ll take you just the way you are

Don’t go trying some new fashion
Don’t change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care

* I don’t want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are *

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you

I said I love you and that’s forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are
Repeat *

Recently, I was introduced to a song sang by a Singapore Superstar (郭美美), who just released an album. When I was heard it, I was speechless. Duly matched by her superb vocal techniques,her voice was unique and captivating. Incidentally this song is one of my favorite classics. It was originally sang by 柯贵民. For my convenience of playing this on my guitar, I transcribed the chords and included them here.

总 是 不 经 意 地 想 起
你 喜 欢 哼 的 那 首 歌 曲
一 样 温 柔 的 音
依 旧 牵 动 我 的 心
我 曾 寻 寻 觅 觅
想 在 文 字 里 寻 找 爱 情
才 发 现 最 美 的 诗 句
原 来 都 在 你 眸 里

爱 是 你 眼 里 的 一 首 情 歌
轻 洋 着 飘 逸 旋 律
让 我 不 知 不 觉 地 陶 醉 在
你 缠 绕 的 深 情

爱 是 你 眼 里 的 一 首 情 歌
轻 拨 动 我 的 心 弦
让 我 不 由 自 主 地
深 爱 着 你
