Lyrics Corcovado (Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars) - Stan Getz , João Gilberto

Some say the odds are against us
Some pray our love at first sight will not last
We know the past cannot harm us
As long as we're both together

Sometimes the wind tries to break us
Sometimes we walk right into friendly fire
But our desire won't forsake us
As long as we're both together

It may be cliche to say
Our love is stronger than Gibraltar
Deeper than the deep blue sea
But me, I believe it
If you read the history
That tells the tale of you and me
We conquer all adversity together
As long as we're both together

It may be cliche to say
Our love is stronger than Gibraltar
Deeper than the deep blue sea
But me, I believe it
If you read the history
That tells the tale of you and me
We conquer all adversity together
As long as we're both together

Now we are here in this moment
And although no one avoids every minor key
Every crazy concerto, we play
Through the song together

Inside these beautiful mountains
With the sky as our blue periphery
The path leads us forward
As long as we're both together

If I exaggerate I do
Because the love I feel for you
Continues to proliferate inside me

The lyricists I quote with admiration
Both invoke me to express
The joy I feel with you beside me
As long as we're both together
