当年红遍大江南北的连续剧《包青天》片尾曲《新鸳鸯蝴蝶梦》歌词取自李白的诗句，无论读着还是唱着，骨子里透着那份雅。英文版的翻唱把它变成了唱给一个人的情歌，从意境到取材都逊色了许多。但听着熟悉得不能再熟悉的旋律，一股亲切还是会涌上心头，那无可奈何的心绪还是相通的……

I Can't Let Go
Dave Koz

Only you know how I feel. Only you know what I means
Can't you see you're just what I mean?
After all that we've been through. After all I've done for you
You should know my love is for real

Am I asking for too much? Am I waiting for too long?
All I need is your tender touch
Don't you know I'm on my knees? Don't you know I'm begging please?
Won't you take a look at me now?

No matter how hard I try can't get you off my mind
I just don't know what to do to have you back here again
I can't let go, can't let you go
I am hurting. Don't you know? All my love goes to show:
I can't go on without you (Repeat)

黄安原版《新鸳鸯蝴蝶梦》歌词

昨日像那东流水，离我远去不可留；今日乱我心多烦忧
抽刀断水水更流，举杯消愁愁更愁。明朝清风四飘流

由来只有新人笑，有谁听到旧人哭？爱情两个字好辛苦
是要问一个明白？还是要装作糊涂？知多知少难知足

看似个鸳蝴蝶，不应该的年代，可是谁又能摆脱人世间的悲哀？
花花世界，鸳鸯蝴蝶。在人间已是巅，何苦要上青天？不如温柔同眠
