Lyrics

In my loneliness when you're gone
And I'm all by myself and I need your caress
I just think of you and the thought of you holding me near
Makes my loneliness soon disappear

Though you're far away
I have only to close my eyes and you are back to stay
I just close my eyes and the sadness that missing you brings
Soon is gone and this heart of mine sings

Yes I love you so and that for me is all I need to know
I will wait for you till the sun falls from out of the sky
For what else can I do
I will wait for you, meditating how sweet life
Will be when you come back to me

Writer(s): Norman Gimbel, Antonio Carlos Brasileiro De Almeida Jobim, Newton Ferreira De Mendonca
