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 mine.
[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.
往日的舊夢 was originally sung in 1968 by 謝雷 in his album "往日的舊夢(精選二)".
In
1968, 姚蘇蓉 also recorded the same song in her album "偷心的人".
In 1970, 青山
also recorded a version of "往日的舊夢".
月滿西樓 was originally recorded and custom-made (特別提出) for famous music
hall singer (歌廳歌手) 方怡 in 1965.
It was later used as the main theme of
the 1968 film "月滿西樓", based on the story written by 瓊瑤 in 1966; both 姚蘇蓉
(海山 Recording) & 潘迪華 (EMI Recording) recorded the song. However,
another possible candidate was 方逸華, who was the first singer to be
chosen by 瓊瑤 to record "月滿西樓" for the movie.
姚蘇蓉 recorded the song in
the 1968 album "臨別的一笑"; the lyrics written by 莊奴. The version recorded
by 方逸華 and later by 潘迪華 in 1968, was written by 瓊瑤.
It was the first
song to ever be composed by 劉家昌. 謝雷, who also recorded in 1968, used
the lyrics written by 莊奴.
This version, which was recorded in the 1968
album "月滿西樓/星夜的離別/問白雲", is also very unique, because it is recorded as a
duet between 青山 & 婉曲, with completely different lyrics from either
莊奴 or 瓊瑤.
