Marina Lima Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Quando a tarde cai
Eu penso em você
E nos caminhos
Que hão de vir
Sol Estrada aberta pro mar

Só começar
Tarde da noite

Nunca é tarde demais
Pra imaginar
Você aqui
Só
Um beijo pode acalmar
Suas Dúvidas
E a vida

Pode ser feliz
Mesmo por instantes
Mesmo por um triz
Eu quero o sal, o doce, o sempre
Surpresas pelo are
Eu quero azul

Amor que tarde
Mas nunca vá falhar
Ser um rio Infinito
Nascer de novo em seu olhar

Provar o vento
Deitar ao sol

E me apaixonar
E me apaixonar
