Kad za tobom umrem ja
Dragana Mirkovic · Other Songs - Dragana Mirkovic
da se srce tebe ne seca
sta da radim da ne budes vise
moja sreca, moja nesreca
Ref.
Cime li se to ljubav gasi
vinom, kisom ili suzama
gde ce dusa da ti se skrasi
kad za tobom umrem ja
Sta da radim kada tvoja slika
sa mnom ide gde god idem ja
gde da ode ljubav ovolika
kada tebi vise ne treba
Ref.
Kad za tobom umrem ja
