Lyrics:
爸爸 ~ (汪峰)
爸爸我一直带着你从未忘记
在北京纽约伦敦和悉尼
把你撒进每一座美丽的港湾
把你融进翻涌的浪花里
爸爸 我想你 我想你
这思念让我痛彻心底
在天堂里你能听到吗
我为你唱的这段旋律
那是第一次在你面前放声哭泣
当工人把你身上的白布掀起
你依然像过去那样的沉默安详
只是再也没有了那些叮咛
爸爸 我想你 我想你
这思念让我痛彻心底
在天堂里你能听到吗
我为你默默祈祷的声音
妈妈她比过去看上去苍老了许多
每天总会整夜开着电视
因为她的生命里突然没有你
那是怎样一种无法承受的孤寂
爸爸 我问你 我问你
为何你如此匆匆地离去
在天堂里你能看到吗
我为你默默流下的泪滴
爸爸 我问你 我问你
为什么生命如此艰辛
在天堂里你能听到吗
我呼唤你的声音
