Sve smo mogli mi - We Could've Done It All

(Artisti: Jadranka Stojaković, music: Žarko Šipka, lyrics: Valerijan Žujo)

We could've done it all if the day had been longer
If only you'd found a little time for me
We could've done it all if only you'd wanted
to be as gentle as you had been before

How to find a way that leads to you
How to find peace when it's all gone
We could've done it all if only you'd wanted
to be as gentle as you had been before

There's nobody in the empty town
the streets are stealing my footsteps
and I, like a shadow, wander around,
It's raining in your heart
and all that was ours is being slowly erased
out of your world

We could've done it all if the day had been longer
If only you'd found a little time for me
We could've done it all if only you'd wanted
to be as gentle as you had been before
