Artist/Band: James Taylor
Lyrics for Song: Only a Dream in Rio
Lyrics for Album: That's Why I'm Here [1985]



More than a distant

Over a shining sea

More than the steaming green

More than the shining eyes



Well they tell me it's only a drea in Rio

Nothing could be as sweet as it seems

On this very first day down

They remind me

Son have you so soon forgotten

Often as not it's rotten inside

And the mask soon slips away

Strange taste of a tropical fruit

Romantic language of the portugese

Melody on a wooden flute

Samba floating in the summer breeze



Take it easy



It's alright you can stay asleep

You can close your eyes

You can trust the people of paradise

To call your keeper

And tender your goodbyes



Oh what a night

Wonderful one in a million

Frozen fire brazilian stars

Oh holy southern cross

Later on

Take me way downtown in a tincan

I cant come down from the bandstand

I'm never thrown for souch a loss

When they say



Quando a nossa mãe acorda

Andaremos ao sol

Quando a nossa mãe acorda

Cantará pelo sertão

Quando a nossa mãe acorda

Todos os filhos saberão

Todos os filhos saberão

E regozijarão



Caught in the rays of the rising sun

On the run from the soldiers gun

Shouting out loud from the angry crowd

The mild the wild and the hungry child



I'll tell you

It's more than a dream in Rio

I was there on the very day

And my heart came back alive



There was more

More than the singing voices

More than the upturned faces

And more than the shining eyes

But it's more than the shining eye

More than the steaming green

More than the hidden hills

More than the concrete christ

More than a distant land

Over a shining sea

More than the hungry child

More like another time

Born of a million years

More than a million years
