MEDITATION

English Words by Norman Gimbel

Music by Antonio Carlos Jobim

In my loneliness, when you’re gone and I’m all by myself and I need your caress

I just think of you and the thought of you holding me near makes my loneliness disappear

Though you’re far away, I have only to close my eyes and you are back to stay

I just close my eyes and the sadness that missing you brings soon is gone and this heart of mine sings

Yes, I love you so and that for me is all I need to know

I will wait for you ‘til the sun falls from out of the sky for what else can I do?

I will wait for you, meditating how sweet life will be when you come back to me
