Lyrics
THE MAGIC OF BRAZIL
music by: Jack Petersen
words by: Phil Morrison
Sea and sand
beneath the sky
A friendly voice says "como vai!"
The sounds of samba fill the air
With dancing everywhere
A Brazilian love affair
And you & I are there....
....to feel Bahia's sun
Where two people now are one
Lost in this paradise
But it feels so nice
THE MAGIC OF BRAZIL
Corcovado is above
Bossa Nova songs of love
Guitars play soothing melodies
Serenading you & me
Living out our fantasy
And we've found our destiny
....to see the mountains high
Where Ipanema is nearby
A smile is on every face
In this special place
THE MAGIC OF BRAZIL
