(A.C. Jobim, N. Gibbel, N. Mendonca)

[Recorded Januare 31, 1967, Hollywood]



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 soon 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 till 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
