Blue Days
Lee Ritenour Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hoje por mais de um segundo o mundo rodou para tras
Folhas perdidas no tempo, um vento que nao volta mais...
Dias azuis
Noites de paz
Na cidade

Dias azuis
Vento que traz
A saudade
A saudade

Hoje por quase um segundo o mundo parou de rodar
Foi um perfume no vento, alguem que chegou pra ficar, pra encontrar...
Dias azuis
Noites de paz
Na cidade

Dias azuis
Vento que traz
A saudade
A saudade
A saudade

Dias azuis
Vento de paz
Na cidade

Dias azuis
Noite que traz
A saudade

Dias azuis
Dias azuis
Noites de paz
Na cidade

Dias azuis
Vento que traz
A saudade
A saudade
A saudade
A saudade (dias azuis...)
A saudade (dias azuis...)




A saudade (dias azuis...)
A saudade (dias azuis...)
