Memori M u s i k MalayaAmy Search - Tiada LagiAlbum : Suatu Masa
Penyanyi Asal : M.Nasir
sia-sia sudah
kita jalin cinta
bila hati selalu berbeda
sampai kapan lagi
kuharus menahan
rasa kecewa didalam dada
seandainya kita masih bersatu
tak mungkin kan menyatu
walau masih ada sisa cinta
biarkan saja berakhir sampai di sini
tiada lagi yang ku harapkan
tiada lagi yang ku impikan
biar aku sendiri tanpa dirimu
tiada lagi kata cintaku
takkan lagi ku bersamamu
biar ku simpankan semua
kenanganku bersama mu...2006-12-1205 min
Memori M u s i k MalayaAmy Search - Suatu Masa - Suatu Masa Penyanyi Asal : M. Nasir ( Sifu )
Bagaimanakan ku mula
Dan apakah kata-kata
Yang indah untuk diabadikan
Tiap wajah berkisah
Tiap madah bererti
Manakah ilhamku
Cahaya di matamu
Senyum di bibirmu
mengukir seribu tanda pertanyaan
Mungkinkah kau jua dalam kerinduan
Di saat begini aku merindukah
Berhelai-helai surat
Terbiar di depanku
Tak dapat aku utuskan
Ku ramas semua
Dan ku buangkan
Jauh dari pandangan
Lalu aku kesal
Ku kumpul semula
Tak dapat ku nyatakan apa yang ku rasa
Jika engkau tahu di dalam hatiku
Mungkinkah kau sahut jeritan batinku
Dengarkanlah panggilanku
Dengarkanlah lagu untukmu
Angin lalu kau sampaikan
Rasa rindu yang membara
