Medley : 追憶/單車/空凳

童年在那泥路裡伸頸看一對耍把戲藝人
搖動木偶令到他打觔斗使我開心拍著手
然而待戲班離去之後我問
為何木偶不留低一絲足印
為何為何曾共我一起的像時日總未逗留

從前在那炎夏裡的暑假跟我爸爸笑著行
沿途談談來日我的打算首次跟他喝啖酒
然而自他離去之後我問
為何夏變得如冬一般灰暗
為何為何曾共我一起的像時日總未逗留

經已給我怎會看不到
雖說演你角色實在有難度
從來虛位以待 何不給個擁抱
想我怎去相信這一套
多疼惜我卻不便讓我知道
懷念單車給你我
唯一有過的擁抱

難離難捨 想抱緊些
茫茫人生 好像荒野
如孩兒能伏於爸爸的肩膊
誰要下車

難離難捨 總有一些
常情如此 不可堆卸
任世間再冷酷
想起這單車 還有幸福

從前共你 朦朧夜裡
躺於星塵背後
難明白你 為何別去
留下空空的一個地球

獨望著空凳願我能
再度和他促膝而坐
獨望著空凳心難過
為何想講的從前不說清楚

曾懶說半句我愛他 懶說半句我愛他
過去我說 我最是要緊
今天發覺我最愛他 呼叫永遠也愛他
聽我叫喊 只得一張空凳

曾懶說半句我愛他 懶說半句我愛他
過去我說 我最是要緊
今天發覺我最愛他 呼叫永遠也愛他
聽我叫喊 只得一張空凳

從前誰曾燃亮我的心 始終一生在心內逗留

Medley : Memories/Bicycle/Empty Seat

As a child in the muddy streets, I craned my neck to watch a pair of traveling performers
They swung puppets that did somersaults, making me clap my hands in delight
But after the show left, I asked
Why didn't the puppets leave a trace of their footprints?
Why, why did those who were once with me, like time itself, never linger?

Once, in the sweltering heat of summer vacation, I walked with my father, laughing
Along the way, we talked about my plans for the future and had my first drink with him
But after he left, I asked
Why had summer turned as bleak as winter?
Why, why did those who were once with me, like time itself, never linger?

It's already given to me, how can I not see it?
Though playing your role is truly difficult
This place has always been waiting to be filled, why not give me an embrace?
How can I believe all this?
You love me so, but you don't want me to know
I miss the bicycle you gave me
The only embrace I ever had

It's hard to let go, I want to hold you closer
Life's vast wilderness
If only a child could rest on their father's shoulder
Who will get off the bike?

It's hard to let go, there are always some
It's common sense, it's unavoidable
No matter how cold the world is
Thinking of this bicycle, there is still happiness

Once with you, in the朦胧night
Lying behind the stars
It's hard to understand why you left
Leaving an empty Earth

I stare at the empty chair, wishing I could
Sit by his side again
I stare at the empty chair, my heart heavy
Why didn't I say what I wanted to before?

I never told you I loved you, I never said it
I used to say I was the most important thing
Today I realize I love you the most, and I will always love you
All I hear is an empty chair

I never told you I loved you, I never said it
I used to say I was the most important thing
Today I realize I love you the most, and I will always love you
All I hear is an empty chair

Who once lit my heart, forever in my heart
