網路上有一則關於這首《Shanghai Memories Of 1945》歌曲故事. 1945年,一位美國富家小姐愛上了上海碼頭旁裁縫鋪老闆的兒子,終究是一段無疾而終的愛情故事,因為身分地位過於懸殊。後來富家小姐被迫返回美國嫁給電影導演,當了作家,沒多少光景便離婚收場,之後再嫁出版社商人,又複製了一場離婚,至此孤老終生。1983年,她的女兒帶著去世母親的日記和照片前去中國尋找母親的初戀情人。三個月後,在毫無音訊的情況下離去。數年後,一位從臺灣到大陸探親的先生聽聞該故事後,透過報社寫信告知那位富家小姐的女兒,前些日子在整理父親的遺物時見過這位小姐的照片,他猜測父親就是當時富商小姐的初戀情人。
I'm wondering how I came to behere我是怎麼到這兒的
Lying alone trying hard not to shed a tear獨自躺著,試著不流一滴淚
Remember daddy said "Boys don't stay for long
記得爹曾經說過:男孩不會長久陪在身邊
They always think that there's something wrong他們總以為出了什麼錯
I open up my eyes and I see我睜開眼睛,觸目所及
Little reminders of when you're here with me都讓我想起你在身邊的日子
I'm hooked to the telephone我緊抓著電話
Please you've got to call期盼你會打電話來
I know you never promised anything at all即使我明白你從未承諾過什麼

My last two weeks go by and I stay最後的兩星期過去了,我依然留下
All alone in my room with no one all day一個人在房裡,沒有人陪
I must realize you will never see我得明白你永遠無法看見
Life could be good if you only stayed with me如果你為我留下來,人生多麼美好!
