Like A Lover
1968 Adapted from original Portuguese O Cantador written by Nelson Motta and Dori Caymmi
English Like a Lover written by Alan Bergman and Marilyn Bergman
“Like a lover the morning sun
Slowly rises and kisses you awake
Your smile is soft and fuzzy as you let it play
Upon your face
Oh how I dream
I might be like the morning sun to you
I might be like the morning sun to you
Like a lover the river wind
Sighs and ripples its fingers through your hair
Upon your cheek it lingers never having known a sweeter place
Oh how I dream
I might be like the river wind to you”
