Tebe voljeti
Ivana Maric · Other Songs - Ivana Maric
vremena i snova uzalud
ma, svi smo takvi
covjek nekad pametan je, nekad lud
A lijepo smo govorili
s' Bogom se dogovorili
da svatko bira svoju stranu za kraj
da u svom srcu sakrijem
samocu, ponos i bol
pa da potonem sa tobom ja
Ref.
Ne odnosi srce moje k'o da je tvoje
jer tu gdje je zapelo
uvijek se zaplelo u tvoje ruke
ne vracaj moje stvari u zivot stari
jer tamo gdje nestajem
ne znaci da prestajem tebe voljeti
Zali, Boze, sto se nista
u mom srcu ne mijenja
kad sve je razbijeno
ko da skupi sve to, ko zna
Ref. 2x
