And, while I’m enjoying some good music, you can do the same… the best music, in fact. Corcovado, by Antonio Carlos Jobim. Jobim‘s one of my favorite composers, and this is one of my favorite of his works.

Quiet nights of quiet stars

Quiet chords from my guitar

Floating on the silence that surrounds us

Quiet walks by quiet streams

Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams

And a window that looks out on Corcovado

Oh, how lovely

This is where I want to be

Here with you so close to me

Until the final flicker of life’s amber

I who was lost and lonely

Believing life was only

A bitter tragic joke

Have found with you

The meaning of existence, oh my love
