Kiss
Give me a kiss
On my face
On my lips
For a good morning
In the evening, to sleep tight
All I ask is your kiss
I don’t need anything else
Your kiss brings me back to life
You are my life!
It gives me strength, happiness
It gives me…the best part of you
I want you to know
As long as you kiss me, I will never forget you
So give me one on my face
One on my lips
For a good morning
In the evening, to sleep tight
And…what about a hug?
Sailing
I’m sailing
Looking up to the sky
I can’t see you
Looking into my soul – you’re not there
Peeking into my soul – can’t find you
Hoping you’re just hidden in the drop of my blood
Not there! You’re nowhere
I sail my boat on Neretva and Una
And there you are…
I see you in every drop of the water
You just smile and say, “Where have you been so long my dear, I have been waiting”
Finally I found you
I wish I could fly
I wish I could fly
Fly to the sky
To tell it how much I love you
Then back to your embracing shoulders
To land on your chest
To feel your hearbeat
To kiss you
I wish…
