Corcovado

Quiet nights of quiet stars

Quiet cords from my guitar

Floating on the silence that surrounds us

Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams

Quiet walks by quiet streams

And the window looking on the mountains

And the sea how lovely

This is where I want to be

Here with you so close to me

Until the final flicker of life's ember

I who was lost and lonely

Believing life was only

A bitter tragic joke

Have found with you

The meaning of existence

Oh my love

Where were live intenderly

Here with you so close to me

Until the final flicker of life's ember

My world was dull each minute

Until I found you in it

And all at once the happiness I knew

Became these quiet nights of loving you
