O Melhor Vai Começar
Guilherme Arantes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ao despertar
Brincando com a brisa
Por entre as plantas
Da varanda
Em nossa casa
Eu quero amar
Que o mundo não me odeia
Hoje eu sou mais romântico
Que a lua cheia
Você mostrou pra mim
Onde encontrar assim
Mais de um milhão
De motivos pra sonhar, enfim
E é tão gostoso ter
Os pés no chão e ver
Que o melhor da vida
Vai começar
