quiet nights of quiet stars (corcovado)

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
