Andy Williams
 English Words by Gene Lees and  Music by Antonio Carlos Jobim

 (peak Adult Contemporary Billboard position # 15 in 1965)

 Quiet nights and quiet stars
 Quiet chords from my guitar
 Floating on the silence that surrounds us

 Quiet nights and quiet dreams
 Quiet walks by quiet streams
 And the window lookin' on the mountains and the sea how lovely

 This is where to be
 Here with you so close to me
 Till the final flicker of life's ember

 I who was lost and lonely
 Believing life was a only a bitter tragic joke
 Have found with you the meaning of existence oh, my love

 This is where to be
 Here with you so close to me
 Till the final flicker of life's ember

 I who was lost and lonely
 Believing life was a only a tragic joke
 Have found with you the meaning of existence oh, my love
