Lyrics for Only A Dream In Rio by James Taylor:
| | | Artist: | James Taylor |
| | Album: | Why Here | | Track: | Only A Dream In Rio | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 83 | | | | Lyrics: | more than a distant land
over a shining sea
more than the steaming green
more than
the shining 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
somba floating in the summer breeze
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
brazillian stars
oh holy southern cross
later on take me way downtown in a tin
can;
can't come down from the bandstand
i'm never thrown for such a loss when they
say
quando a nossa mae acordar
andareimoz au sol
quando a nossa mae
acordar
cantara' pelos sertao
quando a nossa mea acordar
todos os filios
saberao
todos os filios saberao
e regozilarao
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 shining eyes
but it's
more than the shining eye
more than the steaming green
more than the hidden
hills
more than the concrete christ
more than a distant land
over a shining
sea
more than a hungry child
more like another time
born of a million years
more
than a million years | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
