And, while I'm enjoying some

5 Aug 2001

And, while I'm enjoying some good music, you can do the same... the best music, in fact. Corcovado, by Antonio Carlos Jobim. Jobim's one of my favorite composers, and this is one of my favorite of his works.

Quiet nights of quiet stars
Quiet chords from my guitar
Floating on the silence that surrounds us
Quiet walks by quiet streams
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams
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 amber
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
