Fiori Bianchi per Te - Salvatore Adamo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_yJ-AGcOH8

Fiori bianchi per te,
che te ne vai
e vivrai....
la tua vita con lui.
Fiori bianchi per te,
si sono i miei
anche se....
il mio nome non c'e'...
Mai,
ci sara',
nessun'altra nel mio cuore.
Fiori bianchi per te,
la verita'
tu lo sai....
restera' in fondo a noi.
Io non piango perche'
pensando a te
piangerei....
una vita lo sai...
Mai,
ci sara'
nessun'altra nel mio cuore.
Fiori bianchi per te,
fiori bianchi per te
conosco te
e so che,
tu indietro non torni....
Hai voluto cosi',
tremo per te,
e per il si'....
che mette fine
ai miei giorni.
