戀戀紅塵: 聖誕快樂: 歌曲篇

今天是聖誕日，在此分享幾首我很喜歡的，與聖誕有關的歌曲。

第一首當然是 classic , Bing Crosby 的 "White Christmas":

在這麼多節日中，我最喜歡聖誕節，年輕的時候，和生長於香港的大多人一樣，總很嚮往白色聖誕，
到後來真的有機會去了外地，親身經歷過明信片般白雪皚皚的情景，就像紅樓夢說的白茫茫一片大地真乾淨的世界，卻又懷念起香港五光十色的彩色聖誕....
人就是這樣，總是渴望得不到的，朝思暮想，魂牽夢縈；得到了，卻不外如是。

第二首是，Bee Gees 的 "First of May":

每次聽到，都會想起少時候被邀去男校參加那些聖誕派對，一定有這歌。
想起第一次和男孩子約會 (不過手也沒牽的，不算是拍拖..), 及後來遇到的他..
一晃眼，時光如流水，一去不復回。正如這歌說的:

When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,
we used to love while others used to play.
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by,
some one else moved in from far away.

(chorus)
Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small,
and you don't ask the time of day.
But you and I, our love will never die,
but guess we'll cry come first of May.

The apple tree that grew for you and me,
I watched the apples falling one by one.
And I recall the moment of them all,
the day I kissed your cheek and you were gone.

(chorus...)

When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,
do do do do do do do do do...
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by,
some one else moved in from far away.

跟著的便是 John Lenon 的 "And so this is Christmas (War is Over)"
這是成長後，因為 John Lenon，而喜歡上的聖誕歌，當然還喜歡他的 "Imagine"。
