Otkad si otisla
Zeljko Samardzic · Other Songs - Zeljko Samardzic
i zadnje rijece od tebe nosi
i dok se nebo kapima puni
o tebi mislim i o tvojoj kosi
Jos uvijek ne znam sta mi se zbilo
i sta je srcu trebalo reci
priznaces jednom, lijepo je bilo
i stara rana dugo ce peci
Ref.
Otkad si otisla
ode mir iz nase kuce
i dok srce bolno tuce
cini mi se, jos si tu
Otkad si otisla
ljubav tvoja jos me zove
a ja molim puste snove
da mi opet vrate nju
Prosli su dani, sunce je palo
i osmijeh tvoj su isprale kise
sve sto je moglo srce je dalo
a ti si uvijek trazila vise
Ref.
Otkad si otisla
