Quiet Nights Of Quiet Stars

(Antonio Carlos Jobim, Gene Lees)

[Originally by Antonio Carlos Jobim]

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 love was only
A bitter tragic joke, have found with you, the meaning of existence, oh my love.
