祈望 - 作詞：潘偉源 (Wish by Mr. Poon Wai Yuen)

認識潘老師打從我入行開始，經常要處理他的寫詞版權合約。 當時他的作品非常多，有林子祥的“千億個夜晚”，葉蒨文的"祝福”, 王傑的”一生何求”及"幾分傷心幾分痴”，梅艷芳的”蔓珠沙華”及”烈燄紅唇”等等，不能盡錄。

在這幾個月有一首歌一直纏繞在我腦海中，這首歌詞內裡有幾段正是我對父親的一份情懷。最近與潘老師談及這首歌詞，因我記得當年這首歌是林子祥憑歌寄意，送給昏迷中的陳百強。 細談下，原來字裡行間有著另一份老師對學生的勉勵與祈望，還有一個瀟洒的告別（別我以後　莫回望）。 學生要有的正是這份高飛往前，努力不懈的情懷。 我更深信我們也要有這份情懷。 這亦是潘老師他詞風的多面體。

多謝潘老師寫出這份情懷，更多謝他答應讓我轉載這首詞，與其他人分享。

恰好明天是我父親立碑的日子，也藉此祈望他”以串串美夢　眠過萬千的晚上 別我以後　莫回望”

I have known Mr. Poon Wai Yuen (a renowned lyricist in Hong Kong) since I joined the industry. I often handle various copyright assignments for his lyric creation. His works cover a lot and songs were recorded by many well known singers in Hong Kong.

I have lingered in my mind with a song called "Wishes" for the past few months. Some parts of this song just tells my feeling with my father. Recently I talked with Mr. Poon about this song. As I recall this song was sung by George Lam for expressing his hope to present it to Danny Chan who was in coma then. During the conversation, I realised there is another message of encouragement and wishes from a teacher to his students in the lyric lines, as well as a single goodbye with no return (Leave me goodbye and don't ever look back). This is what an upright spirit for a student holds in their mentality. I do believe we do have the same spirit. The lyrics also reflects the multi-angles of Mr. Poon's lyric style.

Thanks Mr. Poon so much for writing this spirit. I further thank for his letting me post this lyrics to share with the others.

Tomorrow is my father's tomb final completion. With this lyrics, I wish him "sleep through thousand nights with strings of sweet dream. Leave me goodbye and don't ever look back".

祈望 - 作詞：潘偉源

祈望你會振翅　向著遙遠目標高飛往
祈望你擦破海風　棲身理想中的對岸
祈望你以串串美夢　眠過萬千的晚上
別我以後　莫回望

祈望你會恕過　帶著仁愛內心多開朗
祈望你以每點真　一一細賞身邊快樂
祈望你會獻上　漂亮微笑在漆黑照亮
別我以後　莫回望

願你高飛前路往　休擔心晚風與夕陽
你的一生是我夢　前路更闊更漫長
用你的心攜著我　一生中我總會在旁
承受你每片感觸　一一烙在心上

祈望你以勇氣撥落微雨　耐心的攀上
祈望你也會展開　星光遍灑溫馨晚上
祈望你以志氣　每日承諾內心的盼望
踏上歲月路途上

踏上歲月路途上

"Wish" (lyrics by and at the courtesy of Mr. Poon Wai Yuen)

Wish you could spread your wings and fly high to your distant goal
Wish you could break the sea wind and settle down at your dream land
Wish you could sleep through thousand nights with strings of sweet dream
Leave me goodbye and don't ever look back

Wish you could forgive and be happy inside with your heart along in your mercy
Wish you could look at the happiness around you with every little truth
Wish you could give your beautiful smile to brighten up the dark.
Leave me goodbye and don't ever look back

Wish you could fly high on your road and don't get burdened with night wind and sunset
Your life is my dream and the road becomes wider and longer
Hold me with your heart and I will be by your side all of my life
Take every sentiment branded one by one in my heart

Wish you could sweep away the drizzle with courage and patiently climb up
Wish you could stretch the staright onto every warm night
Wish you could commit the hope in your heart with strength everyday
Step on the road of years
Step on the road of years
