Summer Song #6... Corcovado




Quiet nights of quiet stars quiet chords
 from my guitar
floating on the silence that surrounds us.

Quiet thoughts & quiet dreams quiet walks by quiet streams
& a window that looks out on the mountains &

 the sea,
 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 & lonely believing life was only
a bitter tragic joke, I have found with you,
the meaning of existence, oh my love

Antonio Carlos Jobim
1962
