Kad vec mora, neka tako bude

trenuci tuge preda mnom stoje
zalud ti nosim jesenje ruze
gasi se zvezda ljubavi moje
Ref.
Kad vec mora, neka tako bude
svako svojim putem neka krene
ne mozemo srca ugrejati
kraj ljubavi, vatre ugasene
Da trazim sebe u ocima tvojim
u njima nema vise topline
nocas pred tobom umoran stojim
oh, kako pece vatra istine
Ref.
Otvori vrata, ljubavi moja
da trazim put samo za sebe
postoji valjda staza spokoja
kada je nisam nasao kraj tebe
Ref.
Kad vec mora, neka tako bude
