Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In my loneliness
When you're gone and I'm all by myself
And I need your caress
[Verse 2]
I just think of you
And the thought of you holding me near
Makes my loneliness soon disappear
[Verse 3]
Though you're far away
I have only to close my eyes
And you are back to stay
[Verse 4]
I just think of you
And the sadness of missing you brings
Soon is gone and this heart of mine sings
[Verse 5]
Yes, I love you so
And that for me is all I need to know
[Verse 6]
I will wait for you
Till the sun falls from out of the sky
Oh, what else can I do?
[Verse 7]
I will wait for you
Meditating how sweet life will be
When you come back to me
[Verse 8]
I will wait for you
Meditating how sweet life will be
When you come back to me
Written by: Antônio Carlos Jobim, Newton Mendonça, Norman Gimble
