ostala si samo ti
Nikom ne dam da te dira
bez tebe su ruzni sni
(2x)
Ref. 2x
Ti si prva i poslednja ljubav
sa tobom me ovaj zivot casti
budi moja, uz tebe ja hocu
da se budim i da srecan zaspim
Utehu mi zivot daje
ta uteha to si ti
Bez tebe mi srece nema
ti jedina ljubavi
(2x)
Ref. 4x
Da se budim i da srecan zaspim
