Bilo je to sto je bilo

kada se vratis ti
sve i da hocu, ne mogu
bez tvoje ljubavi
Ref.
Bilo je to sto je bilo
samo se ti meni vrati
pre cu se sa zivotom
nego sa tobom rastati
Volim te vise od svega
zato ti prastam sve
idemo dalje, sad cuti
ne trazim kajanje
Ref.
Kao da nikada nisi
otis'o od mene ti
svakoga dana sve vise
ja cu te voleti
Ref.
