Nisam bio dobar prema njoj
Zeljko Samardzic · Other Songs - Zeljko Samardzic
da zovu poznati broj
i sve tisinom glasnije oci
da tebe traze u njoj
Beze mi prsti sa njene koze
krisom, ko lopov u mrak
da li se vise voleti moze
Boze, posalji mi znak
Ref.
Nisam bio dobar prema njoj
nikada nisam bio njen
lazna je ljubav kao tesan kroj
traje ko vecnost svaki tren
Nisam bio dobar prema njoj
to zivot tako rezira
ti lazes mene, ja lazem druge
nikada glava ne bira
Probudi senke usnulih ptica
jutro na jastuku mom
vredi mi s tobom svaka sitnica
vise no zivot sa njom
Ref.
Sve sto me s tobom spaja
to me sa njom deli
od mojih secanja
nek ostane prah beli
Ref.
