Tirai Semalam

Siti Nurhaliza · Siti Nurhaliza II [1997]

Menyingkap tirai silam

Ku terasa

Rindu dan dendam

Terdengar bisikanmu

Merdu mendayu

Senandung syahdu

Dalam gelombang rasa

Gelisah cinta

Sehari tak bersua

Bagaikan setahun

Terpenjara

Segera ku turunkan

Tirai cinta

Melupakannya

Kerana lakonanmu

Menghiris hati

Menyeksa diri

Ternyata bukan mudah

Mengawal resah

Melawan perasaan

Cinta sejati dalam diri

Namun

Terpaksa jua

Ku telan sisa pahit

Asmara

Kerana

Kenyataannya

Ini bukan sepotong mimpi

Yang sepi
