Lyrics

[Verse 1]
La-da, la-da, la-da-la
La-da, la-da, la-da-la
[Verse 2]
Quiet nights of quiet stars
Quiet churns from my guitar
Floatin' on the silence that's around us
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams
Quiet walks by quiet streams
And a window that looks out on Corcovado, oh, how lovely
[Verse 3]
This is where I wanna be
Here with you so close to me
Till the final flicker of life's ember
I, who was lost and lonely
Believin' life was only
A bitter, tragic joke I found with you
The meanin' of existence, oh, my love
[Verse 4]
Quiet nights and quiet stars
Quiet churns from my guitar
Floatin' on the silence that's around us
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams
Quiet walks by quiet streams
Climbin' hills where lovers go to watch the world below together
[Verse 5]
We will live eternally in this mood of reverie
Away from all the earthly cares around us
I, who was lost and lonely
Believin' life was only
A bitter, tragic joke I found with you
The meanin' of existence, oh, my love
