Quiet Night Of Quiet Stars (Corcovado)

Andy Williams

English Words by Gene Lees and Music by Antonio Carlos Jobim



(peak Adult Contemporary Billboard position # 15 in 1965)



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



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
