分手總要在雨天 張學友
When I was growing up, we would memorise the sounds of the words not knowing what they meant. Now so many years have past. I have lived for a longer period of time than I had known my father. On these rainy days, I think of you, and the way you wore your pjs and sang to Jacky. It was as if it was yesterday.
