memories

I overheard this song in my sis hp. Found it very touching and really brought back a lot memories of my Grandma. The lyrics are very well written. Even though her love story is not as sweet as in the song and I think my grandfather is not that way.

Grandma is a victim of domestic abuse and at her time it is common for men to take more than 1 wife. She single-handedly brought up my papa and uncles. How to she find the will to do so at that time? She even went through World War 2 where she lost a daughter as she cannot afford to raise her up. She told me she gave her away to a Muslim family. I bet her heart almost break when she did that. Old people really have a strong will to survive.

I don't really know about my grandfather as he does not live with us the only times I see him is during Chinese New Year and he has Alzheimer's disease. He cannot even recognise us at all. But he is gone so just let everything pass.

I remember hearing this song when Grandma was sent to the hospital for the very first day. Cried when hearing this song as really cannot control my emotions and had a bad feeling at that time. Told my sis and she feels that way too. True enough my bad feeling is always spot-on and 9 days later she is gone.

Why do people know how to treasure only after they lost it?

Ah ma I miss you and sorry for all my naughty actions. =(




会有那么一天

歌手：林俊杰 专辑：乐行者

一九四三世界大战
阿嬷年轻的时候
爷爷爱他那么多
他们感情很深
但是爷爷身负重任
就在离乡的那夜
给了阿嬷一个吻
轻声说到
我要离去别再哭泣
不要伤心请你相信我
要等待我的爱
陪你永不离开
因为会有那么一天
我们牵着手在草原
听鸟儿歌唱的声音
听我说声我爱你

夕阳西下鸟儿回家
阿嬷躺在病床上
呼吸有一点散漫
眼神却很温柔
看着爷爷湿透的眼
握着他粗糙的手
阿嬷的泪水开始流
轻声说道

我要离去别再哭泣
不要伤心请你相信我
要等待我的爱
陪你永不离开
因为会有那么一天
我们牵着手在草原
听鸟儿歌唱的声音
听我说声我爱你

我爱你
