A shelter from the storm It exists to give you comfort And in those times of trouble When you are most alone The memory of love will bring you home Perhaps an open door It invites you to come closer It wants to show you more And even if you lose yourself and don’t know what to do The memory of love will see you through To some as strong as steel For some a way of living For some a way to feel And some say love is holding on And some say letting go And some say love is everything Some say they don’t know Full of conflict full of pain Like a fire when it’s cold outside Thunder when it rains If I should live forever And all my dreams come true My memories of love will be of you 
有些人是用味道、氣味來記憶，吃到某種東西，聞到某種氣味就會想起某些事情
我則是用聲音來記憶，聽到某些歌曲總是能將我拉離現實，突然墜入回憶中
去年在克里斯的部落格中看到這篇「有沒有一首歌會讓你想起某些人..某些事..」
我的腦海裡浮現的第一首歌就是「Perhaps Love」。
這首歌是由鄉村歌手John Denver所作曲，而最有名的版本當屬收錄在世界三大男高音之一的多明哥 (PlacidoDomingo) 的同名專輯中，兩大巨星跨界演出的合唱版本。第一次接觸到這張專輯是高中時代的好友M所介紹的，Domingo以其渾厚的男高音演唱流行的抒情歌曲，在他盪氣迴腸的歌聲裡，充滿令人柔腸百轉的溫柔，而其中「Perhaps Love」更是經典中的經典。不但旋律動聽，詞意亦耐人尋味。在懵懵懂懂，初嚐愛情滋味的當時，這歌詞似乎提醒了我愛情的多樣面，雖然有時候我們在愛中被背叛、衝突、受傷，但愛情同樣帶給我們甜蜜、安心及溫暖。即使時光匆匆流逝，我結婚也快要步入第八個年頭，但這首歌所帶給我的溫暖和感動依舊，或者該說隨著年齡的增長，對這首歌的體會更深一層吧！？
Perhaps love is like a resting place
It is there to keep you warm
Perhaps love is like a window
Oh love to some is like a cloud
Perhaps love is like the ocean
