Da je srece bilo

Zeljko Bebek · Other Songs - Zeljko Bebek

Meni je Bog dao
da sad poslije svega
gledam kako grlis
kako ljubis njega

Meni je Bog dao
da mi dusa luta
po zemaljskom paklu
tu na kraju puta

U dugim zimskim nocima
kad vjetar nosi sjecanja
a ja se pitam jesi li
jesi li me ikad voljela

Ref.
A da je srece bilo
ti bi sa mnom spavala
a da je srece bilo
djecu bi mi rodila
