da l' je noc il' neki novi dan
novi pocetak, novi kraj
o Boze, reci mi samo da znam
da nisam sam
Ref. 2x
Stara pisma pocepana
nasa ljubav izigrana
posle svega sto smo prosli mi
Zar je bilo tako tesko
da mi kazes da si s njim
i da me vise ne zelis
Za jedan miran i opusten san
leka nema da dobro sam
za novi pocetak i novi kraj
o Boze, reci mi samo da znam
da nisam sam
Ref. 2x
