明知不可而為之;雖千萬人吾往矣!

以前分不清英文中的 classical 和 classic

後來一個美國朋友告訴我

以音樂上來說

古典音樂(classical music)

就是那些已經作古很久的洋人   所遺留給世人的稀世珍寶

而所謂classic music

則是比較現代的洋人   對我們一般大眾的一點貢獻

近來感覺有不少朋友   情不自禁又情非得已的為情所困

小葫蘆特地在此   以悲天憫人之心

獻給各位有緣大德一首經典歌曲

Some say love it is a river

that drowns the tender reed

Some say love it is a razor

that leaves your soul to bleed

Some say love it is a hunger

an endless aching need

I say love it is a flower

and you it's only seed

It's the heart afraid of breaking

that never learns to dance

It's the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance

It's the one who won't be taken

who cannot seem to give

and the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely

and the road has been too long

and you think that love is only

for the lucky and the strong

Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows

lies the seed

that with the sun's love

in the spring

becomes the rose

有人說，愛是條河，容易將柔弱的蘆葦淹沒

有人說，愛是把剃刀，任由你的靈魂淌血

有人說，愛是種饑渴，一種無盡的帶痛的需求

我說，愛是一朵花，而你，只是花的種籽

害怕跌碎的心，永遠學不會跳舞

害怕醒來的夢，永遠沒有機會

不願吃虧的人，不懂得付出

憂心死亡的靈魂，永遠不懂得生活

當夜顯得寂寞不堪，去路顯得無盡漫長

當你覺得只有幸運者及強者，才有幸得到愛

謹記，在嚴寒的冬日裏，酷雪的覆蓋下

躺著一顆種籽

一旦春陽臨照，就能幻化成一朵玫瑰
