Ako
Kaliopi · Other Songs - Kaliopi
da ponovo sretnem te ja
ne mogu vratiti vrijeme
kad sam tebe ljubila
Ako sam ponovo ista
mogu te opet izgubiti
jer tvoja ljubav je cista
cista ko dan u sreci sav okupan
Ko suza na dlan
ja dobro znam
ja dobro znam
znam
Ako ti ne pratim sjenu
ja tvoje ime ne priznajem
sad opet zivim po svome
al' jos uvijek tebi vjerujem
Ako zaustavim vrijeme
mozda bi drukcije bilo sve
al' znam da nije do mene
i nikad nece biti isto kao pre
