Dusa za nju

Oliver Dragojevic · Other Songs - Oliver Dragojevic

Odavno cuvam
svoju dusu za nju
i ne dam nikom da dodje blizu
jer je za nju

Nije da ne bi prezivio sam
to sam barem do sad naucio
al' ne bi nikad, o Boze, nikad
od nje odustao

Ref.
Dal' je to san
sto sanjaju sretni ljudi
il' doci ce dan, plavo jutro
da me probudi

Na kraju puta, miran i svoj
idem do kraja
idem sa njom
jesam li mogao
ista vise pozeljeti

Kaput od lisca
a na njoj samo proljece
i dok se smije
sve vise se gubim

Unazad vraca me
ne nalazim rijeci
za sve sto hocu
da zapamti
al' lice joj prica sve
sto sam htio
da sa mnom osjeti

Ref.

Na kraju puta
miran i svoj
idem do kraja
idem sa njom
jesam li mogao
ista vise pozeljeti
