Hanya Ini Yang Kucipta Untukmu
Lagu Sederhana Dari Sanubari
Walau Engkau Tak Sudi Menerima

Terimalah Ini (Kasih...)
Persembahan Beta (Sedih...)
Lagu Sederhana... Hai Tuan

Ingkatkah Engkau Waktu Kau Menyakiti
Hatiku Yang Putih Telah Kau Nodai
Ketulusanku Telah Kau Aniaya
Dan Kudiam Saja

Terimalah Kini (Kasih...)
Persembahan Beta (Sedih...)
Sebagai Balasan... Hai Teman

Selamat Tinggal Kau Kelam
(Cepat-Cepat Sendu Hilang... Oh)
Yang Kubawa Hanya Rindu... Dendam
Kutatap Sinar Gemilang
(Cepat-Cepat Haru Hilang Oh)
Sedangkan Jiwaku Remuk... Redam
Lagu Putihku Mendayu
(Cepat-Cepat Pilu Hilang Oh)
Dan Kau Masih Tetap Kawanku

Jika Saja Kau Mau Setia
Pada Kebenaranku Yang Tak Tercela
Kupastikan Kisah Kasih Kita Yang Lugu
Di Kalam Pujangga

Terimalah Kini (Kasih...)
Persembahan Beta (Sedih...)

Lagu Putih Murni
Oh Nyali
