Dreamer

Quiet Nights and Quiet Stars (Corcovado, by Tom Jobim)

Quiet nights and quiet stars
Quiet chords from my guitar
Floating on the silence that surrounds us

Quiet nights and quiet dreams
Quiet walks by quiet streams
And the window lookin' on the mountains and the sea how lovely

This is where to be
Here with you so close to me
Till the final flicker of life's ember

I who was lost and lonely
Believing life was a only a bitter tragic joke
Have found with you the meaning of existence oh, my love

(instrumental interlude)

This is where to be
Here with you so close to me
Till the final flicker of life's ember

I who was lost and lonely
Believing life was a only a tragic joke
Have found with you the meaning of existence oh, my love


It's more the state of spirit than the lyrics. Alice can easily slip into melancholy, and this song represents a dream landscape of being able to be forever in a loved one's arms.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4FI3kqMoLU - this version is sung by Frank Sinatra - beautiful. The video is long but the actual song is short, less than 4 minutes

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuQPiC49BMA - and this is by Elis Regina, the original version in Portuguese. I always imagine this song sung by a woman.
