(Bolder/Box/Hensley)
|
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
|
|
My friends are telling me I'm chasing rainbows
|
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 wondrin' 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 till
|
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, long time -
|
And know I won't have to wait too long before she's mine
|
