Corcovado (Quiet Nights Of Quiet Stars)

Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars (Corcovado)


Writer(s): Antonio Carlos Jobim


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
