Close my eyes and I think of her.
The sweet smell of her skin
Is a voice inside
That is taking me
Where the sun rises.
Alone are the words
But if they are written,
Everything can change.
Without any more fear I want to shout
This great love.

Love, just love
Is what I feel.

Tell me why when I think,
I only think of you.
Tell me why when I see,
I only see you.
Tell me why when I believe,
I only believe in you,
Great love.

Tell me that never,
That you will never leave me.
Tell me who you are,
Breath of my love days.
Tell me that you know
That you will choose only me.
Now you know,
You are my only great love.

Springs will pass,
Cold and stupid days to remember.
Terrible lost nights without sleeping,
Others making love.

Love, you are my love
Forever, for me.

Tell me why when I think,
I only think of you.
Tell me why when I love,
I only love you.
Tell me why when I live,
I only live in you,
Great love.

Tell me that never,
That you will never leave me.
Tell me who you are,
Breath of my love days.
Tell me that you know
That I would never be mistaken.
Tell me that you are
That you are my only great love.

That you are my only great love.

Antonio Carlos Jobim
1964
