He Shen Zhang - When I Married Her - Lyrics: He Shen Zhang

Composition: He Shen Zhang - Arrangement: Zhong Zao Culture

The wind gently blows down the flowers

I really miss her, the one I lost

In my youth, I didn't understand love and hate

I made her cry, the one beside me

Maybe this is just fate

Destined for me to lose her

In this bustling world

I really want to have a home

I've slept in her room, drunk her water

Eaten her leftover food, kissed her lips

And seen her bare face just after waking

In this lifetime, let's just pretend I married her

I admit I can never forget her this lifetime

Even in dreams, I want to be with her

But fate only allows me to like her

Yet doesn't allow me to have her

How long has it been since we last met?

Do you still think of me?

In my youth, I didn't understand love and hate

From now on, the mortal world has no her

Maybe this is just fate

Destined for me to lose her

In this bustling world

I really want to have a home

I've slept in her room, drunk her water

Eaten her leftover food, kissed her lips

And seen her bare face just after waking

In this lifetime, let's just pretend I married her

I admit I can never forget her this lifetime

Even in dreams, I want to be with her

But fate only allows me to like her

Yet doesn't allow me to have her

I've slept in her room, drunk her water

Eaten her leftover food, kissed her lips

And seen her bare face just after waking

In this lifetime, let's just pretend I married her

I admit I can never forget her this lifetime

Even in dreams, I want to be with her

But fate only allows me to like her

Yet doesn't allow me to have her

何深彰 - 当我娶过她 作词：何深彰

作曲：何深彰 编曲：众造文化

风儿轻轻吹落花

好想失去的她

年少不懂爱与恨

惹哭身旁那个她

也许这就是命运吧

注定我失去她

纷纷扰扰世界里

好想拥有一个家

我睡过她的房间喝过她的水

吃过她的剩饭亲过她的嘴

也见过她刚起床素颜的样子

这辈子就当我娶过她了吧

我承认我这辈子都忘不了她

甚至连做梦都想和她在一起

可是命运只允许我喜欢她

却不允许我拥有她

我们多久没见了

你还会想我吗

年少不懂爱与恨

红尘从此没有她

也许这就是命运吧

注定我失去她

纷纷扰扰世界里

好想拥有一个家

我睡过她的房间喝过她的水

吃过她的剩饭亲过她的嘴

也见过她刚起床素颜的样子

这辈子就当我娶过她了吧

我承认我这辈子都忘不了她

甚至连做梦都想和她在一起

可是命运只允许我喜欢她

却不允许我拥有她

我睡过她的房间喝过她的水

吃过她的剩饭亲过她的嘴

也见过她刚起床素颜的样子

这辈子就当我娶过她了吧

我承认我这辈子都忘不了她

甚至连做梦都想和她在一起

可是命运只允许我喜欢她

却不允许我拥有她
