Floating On The Silence That Surrounds Us
Stan Getz / Astrud and Joao Gilberto: 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
that looks out
on 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
