  • Princessa recorded two versions of this song, one in Spanish, called "Que te quiero", on her self-titled 1993 album, and one in English on her 1999 album I Won't Forget You. The lyrics of the latter were taken from Sarah Brightman's version.
  • Thúy Vi recorded this song on her album "Một lần trong đời", it was a Cinema Pictures production directed by Charlie Nguyên. This version also has different lyrics from the original.
  • Shirley Kwan (關淑怡) recorded a version of this song and named it ”Love Is Forever” (戀一世的愛). This version also has different lyrics from the original.
  • Bảo Hân recorded her own version of this song with same chorus as the original, although different lyrics throughout most of the song and a mixture between English and her native language.
  • Linda Low has in fact recorded two different versions of this song; her first version from 2005 has kept a similar beat to the original. Both versions have their own style added to it which could be said to differentiate substantially from the original.
