Only A Dream in Rio
(James Taylor)
MORE THAN A DISTANT LAND
OVER A SHINNING SEA
MORE THAN THE STEAMING GREEN
MORE THAN THE SHINNING EYES
WELL THEY TELL ME, IT'S ONLY A DREAM IN RIO
NOTHING COULD BE AS SWEET AS IT SEEMS ON THIS VERY FIRST DAY DOWN
THEY REMIND ME, SON HAVE YOU SO SOON FORGOTTEN
OFTEN AS NOT IT'S ROTTEN INSIDE AND THE MASK SOON SLIPS AWAY
STRANGE TASTE OF A TROPICAL FRUIT
ROMANTIC LANGUAGE OF THE PORTUGUESE
MELODY ON A WOODEN FLUTE
SAMBA FLOATING IN THE SUMMER BREEZE
(TAKE IT) IT'S ALRIGHT YOU CAN STAY ASLEEP
YOU CAN CLOSE YOUR EYES
YOU CAN TRUST THE PEOPLE OF PARADISE
TO CALL YOUR KEEPER AND TENDER YOUR GOODBYES
OH WHAT A NIGHT WONDERFUL ONE IN A MILLION
FROZEN FIRE BRAZILIAN STARS
OH HOLY SOUTHERN CROSS
LATER ON TAKE MY WAY DOWNTOWN IN A TIN CAN
CAN'T COME DOWN FROM THE BANDSTAND
I'M NEVER THROWN FOR SUCH A LOSS WHEN THAY SAY:
QUANDO A NOSSA MÃE ACORDAR / ANDAREMOS AO SOL
QUANDO A NOSSA MÃE ACORDAR / CANTARÁ PELO SERTÃO
QUANDO A NOSSA MÃE ACORDAR / TODOS OS FILHOS SABERÃO
TODOS OS FILHOS SABERÃO E REGOZIJARÃO
CAUGHT IN THE RAYS OF THE RISING SUN
ON THE RUN FROM THE SOLDIER'S GUN
SHOUTING OUT LOUD FROM THE ANGRY CROWD
THE MILD THE WILD AND THE HUNGRY CHILD
I'LL TELL YOU THERE'S MORE THAN A DREAM IN RIO
I WAS THERE ON THE VERY DAY AND MY HEART CAME BACK ALIVE
THERE WAS MORE
MORE THAN THE SINGING VOICES
MORE THAN THE UPTURNED FACES
AND MORE THAN THE SHINNING EYES
BUT IT'S MORE THAN THE SHINNING EYE
MORE THAN THE STEAMING GREEN
MORE THAN THE HIDDEN HILLS
MORE THAN THE CONCRETE CHRIST
MORE THAN A DISTANT LAND
OVER A SHINNING SEA
MORE THAN A HUNGRY CHILD
MORE LIKE ANOTHER TIME
BORN OF A MILLION YEARS
MORE THAN A MILLION YEARS
