Meditation ( Meditaçao ) 

In my loneliness . . .

when you're gone and I'm all by myself,

an' I need your caress, 

I just think of you, and the thought of you holding me near

makes my loneliness soon disappear . . . 

 

Though you're far away, 

I have only to close my eyes and you are back to stay, 

I just close my eyes and the sadness missing you brings, 

soon is gong and this heart of mine sings

yes, I love you so, and that for me is all I need to know . . .

 

I will wait for you, 

'till the sun falls out of the sky, for what else can I do?

I will wait for you, 

meditating how sweet life will be when you come back to me . . .

 

< instrumental break >

 

I will wait for you, meditating how sweet life will be when you come back to me . . .

Became these quiet nights of loving you!

 

( I will wait for you . . . )  Come back to me . . .
