Frans Bauer Lyrics

Ik zou je nog zo graag iets willen zeggen
Al zeggen woorden niet zoveel
Het is niet zomaar even uit te leggen
Al weet ik dat je dit best horen wil
Wat zou ik zonder jou moeten beginnen
Jij die heel je hele leven aan mij gaf
Voor jou hoef ik geen woorden te verzinnen
Omdat jij liefde in mijn leven bracht

Refr.:
Dit wordt voor ons een dag uit duizend dromen
Jij en ik zijn bij elkaar gekomen
Samen zijn wij op de weg naar het geluk
Dit wordt voor ons een dag uit duizend dromen
Ik ben toch nog goed terecht gekomen
Maar ik weet, er is geen weg meer terug
Ik voel de warmte door mijn lichaam stromen
Jij zet mijn hele hart in vuur en vlam
Ik droom van die momenten die gaan komen
Die uren samen maakten mij een man
Jij geeft mij meer liefde als die ander
Onzekerheid verdwijnt nu uit mijn hart
Ik hoop dat dit nooit meer verandert

Want elke dag is steeds een nieuwe start
Refr.
