　　這是甚麼呢？
　　電影《時光倒流七十年》的主題音樂。

　　那天行經書局，看見一個封面似曾相識。
　　書名《似曾相識》。書腰介紹說，原著中文版首度正式授權發行。
　　噢，就是那一齣我幾乎連廣告時段也不敢亂走，乖乖的坐在電視前看的 Somewhere In Time？
　　原來，有小說。Bid Time Return，Richard Matheson 1975 年的作品。
　　而電影，易名 Somewhere In Time，香港譯作《時光倒流七十年》，台灣譯作《似曾相識》。

　　買這本書，恐怕不是為了看原著，而是為了一份感情。
　　電影三十週年，在電視上看，怕也有廿年多了。

　　小說沒有電影震憾，也許是因為原著以日記重溫的形式推進，內容必然不時提及兩個年份，所以就算到了最後一刻，Richard 看到那枚 1971 (1980) 年的錢幣似乎就不那麼震憾了。而在電影中，每當 Richard 回到 1896 (1912) 年，人物和場景全都屬於那年代，那枚錢幣一出現，觀眾就知道事情要壞了。
　　原著優美的佈局，電影優美地呈現了。

　　看小說，腦海不時浮現一些電影畫面，隱隱約約的。
　　上網看 YouTube，聽到音樂，醉了。
　　決意給主題音樂填詞。

　　一直以為只有音樂，原來曾經有歌詞。英文找到三個版本，粵語也有一個。

　　第一首最合我脾胃。句子簡潔。是故事的注腳。

Where there is time, there is tomorrow.
Somewhere in time, all sorrows pass to memories.
And so the end is the beginning.
Somethere in time, we are as we are meant to be.

Where there is time, there is a circle.
Somewhere in time the circle yearns to be complete,
though you may feel this is illusion.
Somewhere in time, I know we're certain to meet.

Somewhere in time, love is forever,
a love that's here, a love that's now to last for all time.
Somehow I know this moment is waiting somewhere in time.

"Somewhere In Time"
Music: "Somewhere In Time", by John Barry

　　第二首似是在 Elise 的角度看。

Somewhere in time you came into my world.
Love was beyond what I imagined love would be.
Now just a dream I hold till the end of time,
hoping someday we'll find what we left behind.

There'll come a day our paths will meet again,
we'll cross the bridge of time and space to a love that's free.
No more goodbyes, no lonely waiting,
that'll be our day to love, to live all our dreams.

If we believe and keep alive
the hope that love will stand the test of distance and time,
then we shall find our new tomorrow somewhere in time.

Someday there'll be no time between us,
there'll just be endless days for us to love and share.
We'll rise above the tears of our lonely years
into a world beyond today in another somewhere.

　　第三首看來不過是一首情歌，和故事關係不大。

Somewhere in time, we met on timeless hills,
and in the evening midst we kissed, and time stood still.
Before the dawn, we found forever;
moments are timeless when I feel your caress.

Love never goes once it has touched your heart,
just like the scent of wine, that's left as two lips part.
The taste of love will linger after
I find a meaning now in all that I see.

You're always here inside of me and
I know where love is true, it's always with you.
Somewhere in time, I came to realize love never goes.

　　中文版，既然找著了，就做個記錄吧。

Somewhere in time　心中只有孤單
全賴你以真摯傾聽心內感嘆
用你臂彎　親切地擁抱我
輕輕再拭乾綿綿淚水

Somewhere in time　溫馨灑滿心間
陪著你晚風裡欣賞星夜璀璨
在你眼中可發現一個我
關心句子像詩　柔情是暖火

光陰流轉（似是遙遠）　完全清楚
原是天意讓你讓我共分享每天
無言預感同行共挽手　Somewhere in time

悠悠舊歌　癡癡再彈和
長夜你心可會憶起當日的我
日記每張　寫滿著千個你
心中每分幻想夢想　甜甜夢裡飛

彭　羚．"Somewhere In Time"
John Barry 曲．張美賢詞

　　至於我寫的，都是情節。知道故事，未必知道我寫甚麼；不知道故事，就更不會知道我寫甚麼了。
　　也很短。上面幾首大多是ＡＡＢ格式，我只寫了ＡＢ。
　　還抄了張美賢四個字。
　　嘗試用較文的寫法，企圖變成一首類近宋詞體的歌詞：
