It's a quarter to seven on a Saturday morning
I open my eyes after the Friday night 
I don't worry about the rain upon my window
'Cos where I'm going I know the sun will always shine

So now I'm heading away down to Rio de Janeiro
I'll be leaving all my lonely times behind 
And if I'm looking for love in Rio de Janeiro
There'll be someone there I know who'll find the time

In this golden place, there's a smiling face I've got to find
And I won't have to wait too long before she's mine

There comes a time, me and Jason went for the sun
Or searching for the gold beneath the sea 
But rainbows only shine when it's been raining
And gold can never keep you company 

So now I'm wondering what to say in conversation
To the lady of my dreams that I should meet 
If I speak to her in the language of all nations
Then I'm sure that she'd be knocked right off her feet 

And I know she will, then I'll love her 'til the end of time 
And I won't have to wait too long before she's mine

Well, I've been happy enough in Rio de Janeiro
I've got a woman here that I can call my own 
But it doesn't matter if I'm living here or there
'Cos she used to live next door to me back home 

But if you're thinking that I've settled down forever
I'll be telling you you've made a big mistake 
'Cos I'll be heading away down to Denver, Colorado
There's a woman there I've got to try and make 

She can fill the hole in my heart and soul for a long time 
And know I won't have to wait too long before she's mine
