Samba de Orfeu - Johnny Mathis

The sun is hot, the nights are long.

love’s the inspiration to write this song.

With feelings high, I kiss the sky

and ask the stars to put their sparkle in your eyes.

The sun is hot, but passion’s not

I kiss the breeze and call the wind to pass my love on.

I need you near, but you’re not here.

And so I trust my love and passion to the skies.

I dance for you, Samba de Orfeu

with rhythm blue, I dance for you.

A samba beat, let two hearts meet.

And let the beat, rise up high into the dark sky.

I think of you, I dream of you

And now I pass my love and passion to the skies

I dance for you samba de Orfeu

with rhythm blue, I dance for you.

The sun is hot, the nights are long.

love’s the inspiration to write this song.

With feelings high, I kiss the sky

and ask the stars to put their sparkle in your eyes.

Passion in your eyes

into your eyes

into your eyes …
