Corcovado

Sarah Vaughan

Quiet nights of quiet stars
Quiet chords from your guitar
Floating on the silence that surrounds us

Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams
Quiet walks by quiet streams
And a window that looks out
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

Quiet nights of quiet stars
Quiet chords from your guitar
Floating on the silence that surrounds us

Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams
Quiet walks by quiet streams
And a window that looks out
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
The meaning of existence, oh, my love

The quiet nights and the quiet stars
