Quiet Nights lyrics

The torch I carry is handsome
It's worth its heartache in ransom
And when the twilight steals
I know how the lady in the harbor feels

When I want rain I get sunny weather
I'm just as blue as the sky
Since love is gone, can't pull myself together
Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry

Friends ask me out, I tell them I'm busy
I must get a new alibi, I stay at home
And ask myself where is he?

I've grown accustomed to his face,
He almost makes the day begin,
I've grown accustomed to the tune he whistle night and noon.
His smiles, his frowns,
His ups his downs are second nature ot me know
Like breathing out and breathing in.

I was so really independent and content before we met,
Surely i could always be that way again and yet
I've grown accustomed to his looks,
Accustomed to his voice,

Quiet nights of quiet stars
Quiet cords from my guitar
Floating on the silence that surrounds us

Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams
Quiet walks by quiet streams
And the window looking on the mountains and the sea how lovely
This is where i want to be
Here with you so close to me
Until the final flicker of life's ember

I who was lost and lonely
Believing life was only
A bitter tragic joke

Someone to hold me tight
That would be very nice
Someone to love me right
That would be very nice
Someone to understand each little dream in me
Someone to take my hand and be a team with me
So nice life would be so nice
If one day i find
Someone who would take my hand and samba through life with me

Someone to cling to me stay with me right or wrong
Someone to sing to me some little samba song

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking and
When she passes, each one she passes goes

When she walks, she's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle that
When she passes, each one she passes goes

But I watch her so sadly
How can I tell her, "I love you?"
Yes, I would give my heart gladly
But each day, when she walks to the sea

I search for phrases to sing your praises
But there aren't any magic adjectives
To tell you all you are

You're just too marvelous, too marvelous
For words like glorious, glamorous
And that old standby amorous
It's all too wonderful, I'll never find the words
That say enough, tell enough
I mean they just aren't swell enough

You're much, too much and just too very, very

If you see me walking ddown the street
And i start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by
Walk on by
Make believe that you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve in private
Cause each time i see you i break down and cry
Walk on by.

I just can't get over losing you and so if i seem broken and blue
Walk on by
Walk on by
Foolish pride that's all that i have left
So let me hide the tears

It seems we stood and talked like this before,
We looked at each other in the same way then,
But i can't remeber where...
Or when.

The clothes you're wearing are the clothes you wore,
The smile you are smiling you where similing then,
But I can't remeber where...
Or when.

Some things that happened for the first time
Seem to be happening again.

And so it seems that we have met before,

You're my thrill
You do something to me
You send chills right through me
When I look at you
Cause you're my thrill

You're my thrill
How my pulse increases
I just go to pieces
When I look at you
Cause you're my thrill

Nothing seems to matter
Here's my heart on a silver platter
Where's my will
Why this strange desire
That keeps mounting higher
When I look at you
I can't keep still

You, my thrill
