Frank Sinatra Album

Writer(s): Antonio Carlos Jobim - Ray Gilbert - Vinicius DeMoraes


Your love is rain
My heart the flower
I need your love or I will die
My very life is your power
Will I wither and fade or bloom to the sky

Aqua de Beber
Give the flower water to drink
Aqua de Beber
Give the flower water to drink

The rain can fall
On distant deserts
The rain can fall upon the sea
The rain can fall upon the flower
Since the rain has to fall let it fall on me

Aqua de Beber
Give the flower water to drink
Aqua de Beber
Give the flower water to drink

Go on your way with the cloudless blue sky above
May all your days be a wonderful song of love
Open your arms and sing of all the hidden hopes you'll ever treasure
And live out your life in peace

Where shall I look for the love to replace you
Someone to light up my life
Someone with strange little ways
Eyes like a blue autumn haze
Someone with your laughing style
And a smile that I know will keep haunting me endlessly

Sometimes in stars or the swift flight of seabirds
I catch a moment of you
Thats why I walk all alone
Searching for something unknown
Searching for something or someone to light up my life

Writer(s): Antonion Carlos Jobim


Sad is to live in solitude
far from your tranquil altitude
Sad is to know that no one ever can live on a dream
that never can be, will never be
dreamer awake, wake up and see.

Your beauty is an aeroplane
so high my heart can't bear the strain
A heart that stops when you pass by
only to cause me pain
sad is to live in solitude

Ah take a look and you'll see the way I have become and the way things became
Sadness and sorrow are here in the little things you touched with your hands
This loving home was a home so happy to protect you and keep you with care
The flowers in the window were smiling were glowing just knowing you were there


Listen my love nevermore don't ever go away
Cause we are you are your life and your dream and we want you to stay
Come in my love come to me don't let this heartless world
Bring another good bye
Embrace me in a simple way
Don't speak don't remember and darling don't cry

What should I call this happy madness that I feel inside of me
Sometime of wild October gladness that I never thought I'd see
What has become of all my sadness all my endless lonely sighs
Where are my sorrows now

What happened to the frown and is that self contented clown
Standing grinning in the mirror really me
I'd like to run through Central Park carve your initials in the bark
of every tree I pass for every one to see

I feel that I've gone back to childhood and I'm skipping through the wildwood
So excited that I don't know what to do
What do I care if I'm a juvenile I smile my secret little smile
Because I know the change in me is you

What should I call this happy madness all this unexpected joy
That turned the world into a baby's bouncing toy
The god's are laughing far above One of them gave a little shove
And I fell gaily gladly madly into love

So close your eyes, for thats a lovely way to be
Aware of things your heart alone was meant to see
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together
You can't deny, don't try to fight the rising sea
Don't fight the moon, the stars above and don't fight me
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together
When I saw you first the time was half past three,
When your eyes met mine it was eternity
By now we know the wave is on its way to be
Just catch that wave don't be afraid of loving me
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together
When I saw you first the time was half past three
When your eyes met mine it was eternity
By now we know the wave is on its way to be
Just catch that wave, don't be afraid of loving me
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together

This is just a little sambaBuilt upon a single noteOther notes are sure to followBut the root is still that note
Now this new note is the consequence of the one we've just been throughAs I'm bound to be the unavoidable consequence of you

There's so many people who can talk and talk and talkAnd just say nothing or nearly nothingI have used up all the scale I know and at the end I've comeTo nothing I mean nothing
So I come back to my first note as I must come back to youI will pour into that one note all the love I feel for youAny one who wants the whole show show do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ci-doHe will find himself with no show better play the note you know

Someone said, drink the water, but I will drink the wine.
Someone said, take a poor man, rich don't have a dime.
So fool yourselves if you will, I just haven't got the time.
If you can drink the water, I will drink the wine.
Someone gave me some small flowers, I held them in my hand.
I looked at them for several hours, I didn't understand.
So fool yourselves if you will, you can hold out your hand,
I'll give back your flowers, and I will take the land.
And I will drink the wine.
Sometimes I'm very very lonely, there's only me to care.
And when I'm very very lonely, I want someone to share,
I'm going to drink the wine, I'm gonna take my time,
And believe in a world that is mine.
Someone gave me flowers, held them in my hand.
Looked at them for many hours, didn't understand.
Go on and fool yourselves if you will, you can hold out your hand,
I'll give back your flowers, and I will take the land.
And I will drink the wine, and I will take the l

Close to you I will always stay.
Close to you, though you're far away.

You'll always be near, as though you were here by my side.
No matter where, in my dreams, I'll find you there.

Close to me, sharing your caress.
Can't you see you're my happiness?

Wherever you go, my heart will go too.
What can I do?
It only wants to be close to you.

(choral interlude)

Wherever you go, my heart will go too.
What can I do?

If you knew the joy you bring,
How my hungry heart would sing
If only we could be close to you.

And on that dawn just when the day was breaking,
I saw your face everywhere.
And on that morning, love was in the making,
I heard your voice, I hear music, I've no care.
Sunrise in the morning, stay awhile, you know that I'll
Be thinking of you now and everyday.
Make it worth my while, I'll see that you will always smile.
And never stray, you stay baby, I'll pray.
On that sweet night I looked at moonbeams clearly,
Moonbeams dancing in your eyes.
And it was right I know I loved you dearly,
I saw your face, I hear music, I've no care.
Sunset in the evening, stay awhile, you know that I'll
Be thinking of you now and everyday.
Make it worth my while, I'll see that you will always smile.
And never stray, you stay, baby, I'll pray.
Stay awhile, you know that I'll
Be thinking of you now and everyday.
Make it worth my while, I'll see that you will always smile.
And never stray, you stay, baby, I'll pray.
Please stay, baby, I'll pray. Oh, you stay, baby, I'll pray.
Please stay, baby I'll pray..

It's not that easy bein' green, having to spend each day the color of the leaves
When I think it could be nicer bein' red or yellow or gold
Or something much more colorful like that
It's not easy bein' green, it seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things
And people tend to pass you over 'cause you're
Not standin' out like flashy sparkles on the water, or stars in the sky
But green is the color of Spring, and green can be cool and friendly-like
And green can be big like an ocean, or important like a mountain, or tall like a tree
When green is all there is to be, it could make you wonder why
But why wonder, why wonder? I am green and it'll do fine
It's beautiful, and I think it's what I want to be.
And green can be big like an ocean, or important like a mountain, or tall like a tree
When green is all there is to be, it could make you wonder why
But why wonder, why wonder? I am green and it'll do fine
It's beautiful, and I think it's what I want to be

Lady, are you crying, do the tears belong to me
Did you think our time together was all gone
Lady, you've been dreaming, I'm as close as I can be
And I swear to you our time has just begun
Close your eyes and rest your weary mind
I promise I will stay right here beside you
Today our lives were joined, became entwined
I wish that you could know how much I love you
Lady, are you happy, do you feel the way I do
Are there meanings that you've never seen before
Lady, my sweet lady, I just can't believe it's true
And it's like I've never, ever loved before
(Chorus) Lady, are you crying, do the tears belong to me
Did you think our time together was all gone
Lady, my sweet lady, I'm as close as I can be
And I swear to you our time has just begun

All My bags are packed
I'm ready to go
Standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye

But the dawn is breakin'
it's early morn
the taxi is waitin'
and he's blowin' his horn

Already I'm so lonesome I could die
So kiss me and smile for me
tell me that you'll wait for me
hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
don't know when i'll be back again
Oh babe I hate to go...

There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now they didn't mean a thing

Every place I go I'll think of you
Every song I sing I'll sing for you
When I come back I'll bring you a wedding ring

So kiss me and smile for me
tell me that you'll wait for me
hold me like you'll never let me go

Because I'm leavin' on a jet plane
don't know when I'll be back again
leavin' on a jetplane dont know when I'll be back again
Oh babe I hate to go.....

Her day was born in shades of blue
Her song was sad the words were true
Her morning came too fast too soon
And died before the afternoon
Poor lady day could use some love, some sunshine
Lady day has too much rain
Poor lady day could use some spring, some breezes
Lady day has too much pain
It's such a lonely face
Such a cloudy sky
So many shadows in her eye
So many empty dreams
So many bitter times
Just a handful
Of broken rhymes
Poor lady day could use a smile, some kindness
Lady day has too much rain
Poor lady day could use some dreams, some flowers
Lady day has too much pain
Just too much to say
Just to much to know
Too little time to say hello
And then the evening comes
And now she doesn't cry
And it's too late to say
Good-bye
