Lyrics
Meditation
Antonio Carlos Jobim, Harold Gimbel
Intro chant ends with “when she comes back to me.”
In my loneliness,
When you’re gone and I’m all by myself,
And I need your caress.
I just think of you,
And the thought of you holding me near,
Makes my loneliness disappear,
Though you’re far away,
I have only to close my eyes,
And you are here to stay.
I just close my eyes,
And the sadness that missing your brings,
Soon is gone and this heart of mine sings.
Yes, I love you so.
And that for me is all I need to know.
I will wait for you,
Til the sun falls from the sky,
For what else can I do?
I will wait for you,
Meditating how sweet life will be,
When you come back to me.
Solo
Yes, I love you so.
And that for me is all I need to know.
I will wait for you,
Til the sun falls from the sky,
For what else can I do?
I will wait for you,
Meditating how sweet life will be,
When you come back to me.
Chant and ending with “when you come back to me.”
