有次去陪妈妈吃午饭，妈又开始唠唠叨叨问一大堆让我很烦的问题，可是当我看着她喋喋不休的嘴唇时，很奇妙的一句话和旋律飘进我脑子里，“未曾忘记你的手牵着我的手。。。”；我就马上请妈安静一下，我走去角落用手机把这一句录起来。。。
过后回到家就把它发展成这首献给妈妈的“未曾忘记”。。。母亲节或在任何时刻献唱时，总看到台下有一些人哭的稀里哗啦的。。。
Once I went to accompany mum for lunch, mum started to ask a series of “annoying” questions again, but as I looked at her non-stop speaking lips, amazingly a line with melody floated into my mind, ” Never forgotten how your hand held my hand…”; immediately I asked mum to halt, I went to a corner to record this one line with my handphone…
After that I went home to finish writing this song “Never Forgotten” which I dedicate to mum… Every time when I present this song, be it on Mother’s Day or otherwise, I would see people weeping as the song touches them…
未曾忘记 (Never forgotten)

未曾忘记你眼中流露的温柔
(Never forgotten how your eyes flowed with gentleness)
当你看我的时候
(Every time you looked at me)
未曾忘记你的手轻抚我额头
(Never forgotten how your hand caressed my forehead)
当我生病的时候
(Every time when I fell sick)
未曾忘记你眼中流露的快乐
(Never forgotten how your eyes flowed with happiness)
当我平安的时候
(When I became well again)
未曾忘记你的手舍不得打我
(Never forgotten how your hand was unwilling to punish me)
我不听话的时候
(Every time I disobeyed you)
未曾忘记你眼中流露的伤痛
(Never forgotten how your eyes flowed with pain)
我伤害你的时候
(Every time when I hurt you)
未曾忘记你的手勉强挥挥手
(Never forgotten how your hand reluctantly waved goodbye)
长大离开的时候
(When I grew up and left home)
未曾忘记你眼中流露的感动
