Frans Bauer Lyrics

Zoveel mooie jaren de herinnering die blijft
De liefde is nu over we zijn elkaar kwijt
Hoe lang moet dit doorgaan het duurt nu al zo lang
Twee verloren harten verdriet maakt me bang

Huilen heeft echt geen zin mag niet zo blijven
Jij deed me toch zo veel verdriet
Vechten voor morgen kan ik echt niet meer

Ik wil je nummer een zijn ook al doet mijn hart zeer
Huilen heeft echt geen zin mag niet zo blijven
Jij deed me toch zo veel verdriet

Al jou mooie praatjes verloren tijd
Cupido heeft verloren verdriet dat slijt
Maar het is nu over geen plaats meer voor spijt

Huilen heeft echt geen zin mag niet zo blijven
Jij deed me toch zo veel verdriet
Vechten voor morgen kan ik echt niet meer
Ik wil je nummer een zijn ook al doet mijn hart zeer
Huilen heeft echt geen zin mag niet zo blijven

Jij deed me toch zo veel verdriet
Jij deed me toch zo veel verdriet
