Songwriters: Jobim, Antonio Carlos; Lees, Gene (Elv);
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 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
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
