Ended on the lips and teeth, covered by the years, what’s the next sentence?

"It stops at the lips and teeth, and is covered by the years." The next sentence is "Sink in the heart, and remember it in life."

"Turned by lips and teeth, covered by years" comes from a line in the movie "Sweet Honey", which means: Don't say what's in your heart, just let it be buried in the years.

Extended information:

The movie "Sweet Honey" was directed by Peter Chan, starring Maggie Cheung, Lai Lai and Eric Tsang, and was released in 1996.

1996 was the eve of Hong Kong’s return to China, and it was also the year after the death of Teresa Teng, a generational singer. With the help of this special era background, the film tells the story of the difficult years of new immigrants from Hong Kong in the late 20th century. It uses Teresa Teng's song "Sweet Honey" throughout, successfully capturing the mutual feelings of Chinese people in the three places across the Taiwan Strait. The plot of the film begins in 1986 and ends on the day of Teresa Teng's sudden death in 1995. Against the background of the immigration wave in China, the historical changes of the ten years before Hong Kong's return are shown through the fate of small characters.

The film won nine awards at the 16th Hong Kong Film Awards, Best Feature Film at the Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards, and Best Film at the Seattle International Film Festival in the United States. In 1997, it was rated second among the top ten best films in the world by Time Magazine in the United States. In 2009, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, a special film exhibition was held at the Centennial Lecture Hall of Peking University, which analyzed the movie "Sweet Honey" in detail.

In 2013, the restored version of "Sweetie" was selected to be screened in the classic section of the 70th Venice International Film Festival. The restored version was released in mainland China during Valentine's Day on February 13, 2015.
