Vreme za ljubav istice (duet Ceca)
Oliver Mandic · Other Songs - Oliver Mandic
u mrznji i ljubavi, ja i ti
zato bez suza polazim
bar jednom imaj milosti
ne otezavaj mi stvari
Vreme za ljubav istice
nas dvoje vise nikada
ni novi, a ni stari
Ref.
Ako pozelis da mi se vratis
gledaj da to ne bude skoro
vremena daj mi da te prebolim
dodji kad prestanem da te volim
