Dit Lied
Guus Meeuwis Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ik hoor flarden
Snel wat harder
Luister lief
Ze spelen ons lied

Drie minuten
Zegt ons even
Waar de jaren

Zijn gebleven
Dat we voelden
Dat dit misschien
Voor ons was bedoeld

Refrein
Dit lied zal altijd van ons houden
Het voelt als mijn hand in de jouwe
Als een foto van een mooie dag
Alsof ze zingen voor ons tweeën
Dan lijkt het niet zo lang geleden
Dat ik jou als eerste zag

Samen met de zanger dromen
Dat er andere tijden komen
Dat het nooit te laat is
Voor wat ik jou heb beloofd

Ogen dicht en blijven horen
Dat het meer is dan die woorden
Dat alles klopt maar verder gaat
Dus net zoals wij

Refrein

Ik hoor flarden

Refrein (2x)

Dat ik jou als eerste zag (3x)
