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 |

My romance doesn't need to have a moon in the sky
My romance doesn't need a blue lagoon standing by No month of May No shining star No hideaway No soft guitar My romance doesn't need a castle rising in Spain Nor a dance to a constantly surprising refrain Wide awake I can make my most fantastic dreams come true 'Cause my romance doesn't need a thing but you |

Big cadillac car Rich and famous No matter who you are you are I seen a rock n roll rider I seen a cinema star Chorus: Won't you roll down the road Roll down the road roll down the Roll down the road with me Want you to roll down the road Roll down the road roll down the Roll down the road with me Deep into the night Blue velvet push Cut glass crystal I mean it means so much Long cool fingeroos Soft tenderloin touch Chorus City sidewalk shining wet with rain Run through the run through one more again Run through the jungle Fetch a lady's glove Kicking off a bundle Go on and give it a shove Speak up don't mumble Who do you love |

Oh, you are my only one
You are my only one Well, I'm telling you now Now you're my only one I've got two long legs like to carry me Two sharp eyes to look for the light I got two strong arms to hold on tight Two good friends on my left and right But only one, only one And you are my only one You are my only one Don't be leaving me now Now you're my only one Now there's only one road before me Too many turns in the way Thousands of things to do today Millions of moments I must admit But only one, only one And you are my only one You are my only one Well, I'm telling you now Now you're my only one Taken for granted and pushed aside All that it wanted was a place to run and hide Missing message in a hollow tree Hidden deep inside a memory And the memory seems like dreams Hundreds of hopes in the past Nevertheless it was never the last Hold on strong or you fade out fast And only one, only one Oh, you are my only one You are my only one Don't be leaving me now Believe in me now Believe in me now Well, I'm telling you know You're my only one Yeah, you are my only one You are my only one Don't be leaving me now Now you're my only one Yeah, you are my only one You are my only one Well, I'm telling you now Now you're my only one Yeah, you are my only one You are my only one Don't be leaving me now Believe in me now Oh, you are my only one You are my only one Well, I'm telling you now You're my only one Oh, you are my only one You are my only one Don't be leaving me now Believe in me now |

Life's good friends are hard to find
And now one of mine is dead The things I should have said to her I shall say to you instead Mona, Mona So much of you to love Too much of you to take care of Mona, Mona You got too big to keep And too damn old to eat When you where just a football At your mama's side I reckon everyone figured you For a bar-b-que when you died And here i'm thinking about you lying underground Pushing up a pine tree in my field Oh Mona, Mona You can close your eyes I've got a twelve gauge surprise Waiting for you Wince the day she passed away Everything's just the same Everywhere i go Somebody mentions her name Sometimes it's easiest to tell a friend a lie 'cause they don't understand the way i feel Oh Mona, Mona So much of you to love Too much of you to take care of So long Now she is gone and i am left alone as you can see But ever since i caused her death I do miss her company |
