祈望你每次放工塞满车 沿途路绿灯都点起了
祈望若果你脸上找到皱纹 通通给抹掉
祈望你 可找到一个陪你分享哭与笑
祈望你最爱听的一阙歌 凌晨白昼每秒地播
祈望你最爱买的高价衣 全部特价天天清货
祈望若果你要用餐不必怕 找不到雅座
还是怕 找不到一个陪你在这边坐 你有否想起我
不管午夜晨早 不分昼夜于世界某一角落都想你
可否会皱着眉 寒夜睡觉未盖被
只要你觉得需要 我的双手都给你
祈望你有你爱的花与草 宁静但眼角带着笑
祈望你有你爱的一个他 甜蜜幸福不多不少
祈望若果你偶遇心痛泪流 找不到照料
仍剩我 总给你打气全明白你需要 纵分开不紧要
即使你话我土 都衷心祝福你
不管午夜晨早 不分昼夜于世界某一角落都想你
可否会皱着眉 寒夜睡觉未盖被
只要你觉得需要 我的灵魂也赠你
而诚恳的祝福不需假设太多
别问我老了会否仍然来相助
即使你话我土 都衷心祝福你
不管午夜晨早 不分昼夜于世界某一角落都想你
可否会皱着眉 寒夜睡觉未盖被
只要你觉得需要 我的双手都给你
都给你 都给你
我的双手都给你
