Acoustic Alliance Band - Corcovado

A great version of this bossa-nova standard (written by Jobim of course), sung in English, performed by the Acoustic Alliance Band (live at Bluesboro, 2001. No, I wasn't there...)

Quiet nights of quiet stars, quiet chords from my guitar
floating on the silence that surrounds us

Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams, quiet walks by quiet streams
and a window that looks out on the mountains and the sea, oh 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, have found with you,
the meaning of existence, oh my love

I love this group, I saw them preform at the Florida Folk Festval-- They were great!

I hope I get to see them again!
