Gore pisma, svedoci ljubavi

Saban Saulic · Other Songs - Saban Saulic

Ove noci moj se zivot menja
sad je drugi u mislima tvojim
pisma koja si mi nekad slala
nocas gore pred ocima mojim

Ref.
Gore pisma, svedoci ljubavi
al' secanje nece izgoreti
i kad drugi pored tebe bude
tiho ces mi ime prozboriti

Zao mi je sto se rastajemo
ladja srece sad tone u more
a niz lice gorke suze teku
a ne gase pisma koja gore

Ref.

Ni zadnje mi zbogom nemoj reci
zato podji i zatvori vrata
kad smo stigli mi do srece blizu
mi stadosmo ko kazaljke sata

Ref.
