(Jobim /Gimbel)

 

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 that missing you brings

Soon is gone 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 stars fall from out of the sky

But what else can I do?

I will wait for you

Meditating how sweet it'll be

When you come back to me

 

Just the memory of your little smile

Makes everything worthwhile

You're so right for me

There could never be anyone new

Could thrill me the way that you do

No, I won't forget

For though you're gone I feel your nearness yet

 

Oh, I will wait for you

'Til the stars fall from out of the sky

But what else can I do?

I will wait for you

Meditating how sweet love will be

When you come back to me
