Lyrics Sarah Vaughan

Sarah Vaughan

Corcovado

Quiet nights of quiet stars

Quiet chords from your 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 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

Quiet nights of quiet stars

Quiet chords from your 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 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

The meaning of existence, oh, my love

The quiet nights and the quiet stars
