Corcovado

Quiet nights of quiet stars, quiet chords from my guitar
Floating in the silence that surrounds us
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams
Quiet walks by quiet streams

And a window looking at Corcovado
Oh, 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
