Like a Lover Songtext
von Sérgio Mendes & Brasil ’66

Like a lover the morning sun
Slowly rises and kisses you awake
Your smile is soft and fuzzy as you let it play
Upon your face
Oh how I dream
I might be like the morning sun to you
I might be like the morning sun to you
Like a lover the river wind
Sighs and ripples its fingers through your hair
Upon your cheek it lingers never having known a sweeter place
Oh how I dream
I might be like the river wind to you
I might be like the river wind to you
How I envy a cup that knows your lips
Let it be me... my love
And a table that feels your fingertips
Let it be me... let me be your love
Bring an end to the endless days and nights without you...
Like a lover the velvet moon
Shares your pillow and watches while you sleep


Its light arrives on tiptoe gently taking you
In its embrace
Oh how I dream
I might be like the velvet moon to you
I might be like the velvet moon to you
Oh how I dream
I might be like the river wind to you
I might be like the river wind to you
How I envy a cup that knows your lips
Let it be me my love
And a table that feels your fingertips
Let it be me let me be your love
Bring an end to the endless days and nights without you...
Like a lover the velvet moon
Shares your pillow and watches while you sleep
Its light arrives on tiptoe gently taking you
In its embrace
Oh how I dream
I might be like the velvet moon to you
I might be like the velvet moon to you
I might be like the velvet moon to you
I might be like the velvet moon to you
I might be like the velvet moon to you
I might be like the velvet moon to you
I might be like the velvet moon to you
I might be like the velvet moon to you
