Corcovado Lyrics


Quiet nights of quiet stars
Quiet chords from my guitar
Floating on the silence
That surrounds us
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams
Quiet walks by quiet streams
And a window looking on
The mountains and the sea, how lovely
This is where I wanna 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
I found with you, oh my dear
The meaning of existence
Oh, my love
This is where I wanna 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
I found with you, oh my dear
The meaning of existence
The meaning of existence
The meaning of existence
Oh, my love

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

A classic 1974 recording, ELIS AND TOM brings together the brilliant Brazilian vocalist Elis Regina and the father of bossa nova, Antonio Carlos Jobim. Although Elis was a guest singer on some of Jobim's Creed Taylor-produced material, this was the first and only time the pair did a full-fledged duet album. Like the Taylor albums, WAVE and TIDE, ELIS AND TOM features a full orchestra. Very much unlike the Taylor albums, the orchestral colouring is kept to a bare, sensible minimum.
