How Insensitive

Norman Gimbel - Vinicius DeMoraes - Antonio Jobim

© New Thunder Music, BMI

How insensitive I must have seemed
When she told me that she loved me
How unmoved an' cold I must have seemed
When she told me so sincerely

Why she must have asked
Do I just turn an' stare in icy silence
What was I to say
What can you say when a love affair is over
[ instrumental ]
Now she's gone away

And I'm alone with a memory of her last look
Vague an' drawn an' sad I see it still
All her heartbreak in that last look

How she must have asked
Could I just turn an' stare in icy silence
What was I to do
What can one do when a love affair is over

What can you do
When a love affair is over
It's over

Stay With Me

Nick Perito - Ray Charles

© Roncom Music, ASCAP

Stay with me stay with me
Don't leave me now when you know how I depend on you
Every day every way
My little world revolves all around you

Before you came my way my days were grim and gray
But then you smiled and I knew dear
My dreams had come true dear
Love is mine you are mine

Now life is sweet
Let me keep the love you've brought to me
Say it's for evermore
Say that you'll stay with me
[ instrumental ]
Say it's for evermore
Say that you'll stay and stay
please say that you'll stay with me

The Shadow Of Your Smile

Paul F. Webster - Johnny Mandell

© Miller Music, ASCAP

One day we walked along the sand
One day in early spring
You held a piper in your hand
To mend it's broken wing
Now I'll remember many a day
An' many a lonely mile
The echo of a piper's song
An' the shadow of a smile

The shadow of your smile
When you are gone
Will color all my dreams
And light the dawn
Look into my eyes my love and see
All the lovely things you are you are to me

Our wistful little star
Was far too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so did I
Now when I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile
[ instrumental ]
Now when I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile

Meditation (Meditacao)

Norman Gimbel - Newton Mendonca - Antonio Jobim

© Duchess Music, BMI

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 missing you brings
Soon is gong 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 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
[ instrumental ]
I will wait for you meditating
How sweet life will be when you come back to me
Became these quiet nights of loving you
(I will wait for you) Come back to me

And Roses And Roses

Ray Gilbert - Dorival Caymmi

© Ipanema Music, ASCAP

Everyday I sent another present
Just to let her know how very much I care
Wrote a little love note with each present
But it didn't seem to get me anywhere

My poor worried heart was almost certain
That this love affair would never be
Then I sent a dozen yellow roses
Then from that moment she belonged to me

Roses roses roses I thank all the roses
That bloom in the spring
Love is a wonderful thing

The rest of my life I will bring her
Roses and roses and roses of love

Roses roses roses I thank you for saying
What I couldn't say
Oh what a wonderful way
To tell her I Love You each day
With roses and roses and roses of love
And roses and roses and roses of love
And roses and roses and roses

Yesterday

John Lennon - Paul McCartney

© Maclen Music, BMI

Why she had to go
I don't know she wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday

Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh I believe in yesterday

Suddenly I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh yesterday came suddenly

Why she had to go
I don't know she wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday
[ instrumental ]
Yesterday love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh I believe in yesterday
Oh I believe in yesterday

Coo coo roo coo coo paloma
Tell her that I'm oh so lonely
Coo coo roo coo coo paloma
Tell her that I love her only

Please pretty little dove
Hurry to my love tell her this for me
Since she is far away
Every day is sad blue as it can be
I couldn't even start
Pouring out my heart to her in a letter
You pretty little bird

Coo coo roo coo coo paloma

Coo coo roo coo coo
Coo coo roo coo coo

Dindi

Ray Gilbert - Aloysio DeOliveira - Antonio Jobim

© Corcovado Music, BMI

Sky so vast as the sky
With far away clouds just wandering by
Where did they go
Oh I don't know don't know

Wind that speaks to the leaves
Telling stories that no one believes
Stories of love
Belong to you and me

Oh Dindi
If I only had words
I would say all the beautiful things that I see
When you're with me
Oh my Dindi

Oh Dindi
Like the song of the wind in the trees
That's how my heart is singing Dindi happy Dindi
When you're with me

I love you more each day
Yes I do yes I do
I'd let you go away
If you take me with you

Don't you know Dindi
I'd be running an' searching for you
Like a river that can't find the sea
That would be me without you my Dindi
[ instrumental ]
Don't you know Dindi
I'd be running an' searching for you
Like a river that can't find the sea
That would be me without you my Dindi

Baia

Ray Gilbert - Ary Barroso

© Peer Int, BMI

Oh Baiá when twilight is deep in the sky Baiá
Someone that I long to see keeps haunting my memory
And so the loneliness deep in my heart calls to you calls to you
(Oh Baiá) Oh Baiá

(I live in the memory of many dreams ago
When the stars were bright and you were mine alone
My love for you can not die though the oceans run dry
Or heaven's call from the sky now you're gone)

Baiá can't you hear my lonely call
Morea make my life complete again
How I pray for the day when I'll see you smile
And my heart will beat again

Oh Baiá when twilight is deep in the sky Baiá
Someone that I long to see keeps haunting my memory
And so the loneliness deep in my heart calls to you calls to you
(Oh Baiá) Oh Baiá (Oh Baiá)

Once I Loved

Ray Gilbert - Vinicius DeMoraes - Antonio Jobim

© Ipanema Music, ASCAP

Once I loved
And I gave so much love to this love
It was the world to me

Once I cried
At the thought I was foolish and proud
And let you say goodbye

Then one day
From my infinite sadness you came
And brought me love again

Now I know
That no matter whatever befalls
I'll never let you go

I will hold you close make you stay
Because love is the saddest thing
When it goes away

Love is the saddest thing
When it goes away
[ instrumental ]
I will hold you close make you stay
Because love is the saddest thing
When it goes away

love is the saddest thing
When it goes away
When it goes away

Carnival (Manha De Carnaval)

George Weiss - Luiz Bonfa - Antonio Maria

© Ross-Jungnickel Music, ASCAP

I'll sing to the sun in the sky
I'll sing 'till the sun rises high
Carnival time is here
Magical time of year
And as the time draws near
Dreams lift my heart

I'll sing as I play my guitar
I'll cling to a dream from afar
Will love come my way

This Carnival day
And stay here in my heart
Will true love come my way
On this Carnival day
Or will I be alone with my dream

Quiet Nights Of Quiet Stars (Corcovado)

Gene Lees - Buddy Kaye - Antonio Jobim

© Leeds Music, ASCAP

Quiet nights and quiet stars quiet chords from my guitar
Floating on the silence that surrounds us
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams quiet walks by quiet streams
Climbing hills where lovers go to watch the world below together

We will live eternally in this mood of reverie
Away from all the earthly cares around us
My world was dull each minute until I found you in it
And all at once the happiness I knew
Became these quiet nights of loving you
[ instrumental ]
We will live eternally in this mood of reverie
Away from all the earthly cares around us
My world was dull each minute until I found you in it
And all at once the happiness I knew
Became these quiet nights of loving you
