För kärlekens skull
Danny Saucedo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Utanför fönstret slår våren ut
Marken blir grön igen
Allt som var dött väcks till liv
Det kan också vi

Ute till havs styr en fiskebåt
Längs en fri horisont
Den gungar så tryggt in mot hamn
Som jag i din famn
Så länge vi älskar

Åh, det är för oss solen går opp
Lyser som guld, för kärlekens skull
Åh, solen går opp så oskuldsfull
Lyser på oss för kärlekens skull

Högt på ett berg står en katedral
Och pekar upp mot skyn
Men det är för himlen i dig
Och jorden i mig
Vi älskar varandra

Åh, det är för oss solen går opp
Lyser som guld för kärlekens skull
Åh, solen går opp så oskuldsfull
Lyser på oss för kärlekens skull





Lyser på oss, för kärlekens skull
