譚詠麟 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

回頭望街中的她 明艷照人
難明白上帝怎做人才算是平等
心中熱血繞千遍燒焦我身
飛身欲往她嘴角留下甜吻

情是遠路 愛的燈號
衝破這擠迫都市
找到理想心上人
再也沒有傷感

難明白弱小芳心 情是醉人
難明白預約佳人總要等
街燈下我的影說不必再等
偏偏遇上總不會留下原因

情是遠路 愛的燈號
轉變再找新的方向
找到理想心上人
再也沒有傷感

情是遠路 愛的燈號
衝破這擠迫都市
找到理想心上人
再也沒有傷感

情是遠路 愛的燈號
衝破這擠迫都市
找到理想心上人
再也沒有傷感





情是遠路 愛的燈號
衝破這擠迫都市
