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)
