Susan Wong
Susan Wong is a Hong Kong English language singer.
Biography
She was born in Hong Kong, and immigrated to Sydney, Australia with her family at the age of seven. Musically inclined from a young age, she learned to play the piano at age five and later she also learned the violin. At Kambala in Sydney, she sang alto in the choir and appeared in the school dramas (Gilbert & Sullivan & the like) and entered a number of piano competitions. She received an associate diploma (ATCL) in piano from Trinity College London.
Her first break in the music world was at the age of sixteen when her parents entered her for a singing contest in Sydney. It was organized by TVB with the winner to be offered a recording contract with one of the big music companies in Hong Kong. She won the competition and went to Hong Kong, where she met with the TVB producers who wanted her to sign with one of the music labels. After much deliberation she decided that a music career wasn’t right for her at that time and instead returned to Australia to study at University.

by: Susan WongSitting here alone with my memories
Staring at a picture of you and me
They say I look fine but if walls could talk
They’d tell you all about how much I break apart
I think we were right but we did it wrong
Every since you left me I just can’t go on
No I can’t even read the news today
‘Cause everything reminds me of yesterday
Empty room
Empty heart
Since you’ve been gone
I must move on
Empty room
I never realised it could make me cry
To hear the children laugh and play outside
A walk in the park shouldn’t be that bad
But everything without you seems to make me sad
I thought we were good we were meant to be
The way it turned out is still a mystery
No I can’t even read the news today
Reminds me of yesterday
Empty room
Empty heart
Since you’ve been gone
I must move on
Empty space
Lonely days
My life goes on
Just like the moon
And to sail across the sky alone
Forever trying to find its home
I can’t believe I have to say
I don’t know where you are today
Empty room
Empty heart
Since you’ve been gone
I must move on
Empty space
Lonely days
My life goes on
Just like the moon
Empty room
Empty room
