"Like A Lover"
(Alan Bergman / Marilyn Bergman / Dori Caymmi / Dorival Caymmi)

Like a lover the morning sun, slowly rises and kisses you awake. Your smile so soft and drowsy, as you let it play upon your face. Oh... How I dream I could be like the morning sun to you.
Like a lover the river wind slides and ripples its finger through your hair upon your cheek it lingers never having known a sweeter place. Oh... How I dream I could be like the river wind to you.
How I envy your cup that knows your lips, let it be me my love, and a table that feels your fingertips. Let it be me, let me be your love. Bring it into the endless days and nights without you.
Like a lover the velvet moon, shares your pillow and watches while you sleep, its light arrives on tiptoe, gently taking you in its imbrace. Oh... How I dream I could be like the velvet moon to you.
I could be like the morning sun, I could be like a lover, to you...
Like a lover the velvet moon
