Brazil… / Where hearts were entertaining June / We stood beneath an amber moon / And softly murmured someday soon… / We kissed… / And clung together / Then… / Tomorrow was another day / The morning found me miles away / With still a million things to say / Now… / When twilight dims the skies above / Recalling thrills of our love / There's one thing I'm certain of / Return… / I will… / to old… / Brazil.
