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 !!!
