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
