Sarah McKenzie : Corcovado




Sarah McKenzie with the James Morrison Sextet live @the Basement, Sydney (uploaded by leigh23451 on Sep 8, 2009)

"Corcovado" (known in English as "Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars") is a bossa nova song written by Antonio Carlos Jobim. The English lyrics were written by Gene Lees. The US chart version was sung by Andy Williams.

Quiet nights 'n quiet stars, quiet chords from my guitar

Floating on the silence that surrounds us

Quiet thoughts 'n quiet dreams, quiet walks by quiet streams

Climbing hills where lovers go to watch the world below together

We will live eternally in this mood of reverie

Away . . . from all the earthly cares around us

My world was dull each minute until I found you in it

And all at once the happiness I knew,

Became these quiet nights of loving you!

< instrumental break >

We will live eternally in this mood of reverie

Away . . . from all the earthly cares around us

My world was dull each minute until I found you in it

And all at once the happiness I knew,

Became these quiet nights of loving you!
