Quiet Nights

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
