I Have A Dream
李玟 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

我梦见你在未来某一天的你
白发依稀微笑的唇还如往昔
看你的手虽然皱纹已清晰
牵手的劲仍然象昨日般力气
梦见自己我看到从前的自己
有些任性只因当时身边有你
离开你若干年后才明白真爱难觅
In my dream 最后我们会重遇

我的手停泊在你的手心
不再逃避直到世界停止了四季
我愿意 I Have A Dream
I Have A Dream 在你怀中慢慢清醒
每个夜里看着你静静睡去
风在乱我们牵着手而行永不弃永不离
Dear My Dream 最后我们会重遇
我的手停泊在你的手心
不再逃离直到世界停止了四季
我愿意
这世界越来越多坏的消息
是非曲直的意义已让人忘记
也只有爱可以抵抗黑白蓝绿
In my dream 最后我们会重遇
我的手停泊在你的手心
我不再逃离一直到世界停止了四季
我愿意
In my dream 我们注定要再相遇

而风和雨就在你和我的爱里得到平息
天知道我到底有多爱你我爱你
