I met a girl at the carnaval

In Rio de Janeiro

We danced all night on the boulevard

In doorways we did the tango



I miss her lips

And the way she sashayed her hips

As she shook her shoulders

I miss the smell of her hair

I don't care if it takes my whole life

to find her



Chorus

We were dancing in the summer rain

We were dancing throught the night

She never said her real name

So I called her Spanish eyes

Spanish eyes ...



The sun came up

And the girl was gone

Her masquerade was over

I searched the streets

Drunk with love

But no one seemed to know her



I miss the touch

Of her body so much

I long for the warmth inside her

Somewhere in time she will come

Back to me

And I'll spend my whole life beside her



Repeat chorus
