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 onto Corcovado

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 and lonely, believing life was only

A bitter tragic joke have found with you

The meaning of existence, oh, my love

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, oh
