Rosemary Clooney Corcovado (Quiet Nights) [Album Version]
(Antonio Carlos Jobim/Gene Lees)
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 looking on the mountains and the sea, 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
This is where I want to be
Here with you so close to me
Until the final flicker of life's ember
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
