|
Here I am strolling down |
|
Atlantic Avenue |
|
With the sunlight in my eyes |
|
Here I am and there's nothing |
|
I would rather do |
|
When I want some peace of mind |
|
Oh, I leave the smoke of Rio behind, |
|
as evening starts to fly |
|
I wanna feel the ocean breeze |
|
where the mountains touch the sky |
|
So come on |
|
down Atlantic Avenue |
|
Let the samba take a hold of you; |
|
'cos I know there is no place |
|
like the Avenue |
|
When the music gets a hold of you |
|
Drive along to Ipanema, |
|
but there's always time to spare |
|
Forget the troubles of the world |
|
when they get too much to bear |
|
Oh oh, wooh |
|
Flying down to Rio |
|
never thought I would be |
|
walking by the ocean here today, no |
|
Pretty soon I got to leave, |
|
but I know my heart will stay |
