Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lev varje dag som det snart vore slut
Gör allting sånt som du drömt om förut
Lev och var lycklig strö ros inte ris
Livet går ej i repris

Jag har en dröm som jag vill ska bli sann
Tänker på dig hur jag dig fann
Idag ska jag säga

Jag älskar dig så
Vill du så kan du mig få

Lev varje dag som det snart vore slut
Gör allting sånt som du drömt om förut
Lev och var lycklig strö ros inte ris
Livet går ej i repris

Har du en ovän säg bara förlåt
Enkla små ord inte så svårt
Gör någon lycklig idag om du kan
Njut av livet med varann

Lev varje dag som det snart vore slut
Gör allting sånt som du drömt om förut
Lev och var lycklig strö ros inte ris
Livet går ej i repris

Lev och var lycklig strö ros inte ris
Livet går ej i repris
