Ti si moje prolece zivota
Toma Zdravkovic · Other Songs - Toma Zdravkovic
prekrila ih jesen velom svog sivila
ti si moje zadnje prolece zivota
koje mi je sudba kasno poklonila
Ref. 2x
Sudba je zadnju lastu
donela u moj svet
ja ispijam casu srece
i berem zadnji cvet
Sve radosti moje lagano se gase
svemu kraj se blizi, to srce oseca
sve bih ucinio samo da zadrzim
sto duze kraj mene dah zadnjeg proleca
Ref. 2x
Nek cvetaju ruze gde cvetale nisu
cvece cini srecnim probavu okolnu
ti si moje zadnje prolece zivota
kome ja poklanjam moju pesmu ovu
Ref. 2x
Ti si moje prolece zivota
