[ Featuring Jane Monheit ]
Rio
Your morning rises on a soft gray light
Rio
I see the shiver of the sails upon the sea
The leaves are falling in the garden of my heart
When Autumn, melancholic, comes to me
Rio
The street is empty and the night is dark
Rio
Copacabana, an abandoned walk of dreams
The gentle rhythm of the tide is blues, it's jazz
The city sleeps beneath the rising sun
The light of love
The peace
The sparrows fly above the city's streets
The seabirds cry a song so bittersweet
Rio awakens, still, in such a peace
Come closer to me
Love is so wise, so young, with hearts like the sea
How I am longing just to be you and me
The days and endless kisses, soulful and sweet
The lifetime of love, so full, so complete
The kiss of passion, and it feels like a dream
The ocean's melody, a song of Jobim
A song of heartache for a love to rest forever
Rio
Your morning rises on a soft gray light
Rio
I see the shiver of the sails upon the sea
The leaves are falling in the garden of my heart
When Autumn, melancholic, comes to me
To me
