prestale su da se sjaje
nekad nije htela mene
sad se mozda za to kaje
Ref. 2x
Tuzne oci lepe zene
kad bih samo jedno znao
da u vama ima mene
ja bih svoje za vas dao
Oci jedne lepe zene
pripale su davno drugom
znacile su sve za mene
zato sada zrace tugom
Ref. 2x
Oci jedne lepe zene
beskrajnom bi srecom sjale
da su moju ljubav htele
sad za tugu ne bi znale
Ref. 2x
