Only A Dream In Rio

JAMES TAYLOR

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
Samba floating in the summer breeze, take it easy

It's all right, you can stay asleep
You can close your eyes
You can trust the people of paradise
To call your keeper and tender your good-byes

Oh, what a night, wonderful one in a million frozen fire Brazilian stars
Oh, holy southern cross, later on
Take me way downtown in a tin can
Can't come down from the bandstand
And 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 eyes
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
