Lyrics: Alan Bergman/Nelson Motta/Marilyn Bergman Music: Dori Caymmi Like a lover the morning sun Slowly rises and kisses you awake Your smile is soft and drowsy As you let it play upon your face Oh, how I dream I could 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 How I envy a cup that knows your lips Let it be me my love And a table that feels your finger tips Let it be me, let me be your love Bring an end to the endless days and nights without you Like a lover the velvet moon Shares your pillow and watches while you sleep Its light arrives on tip toe Gently taking you in its embrace Oh how I dream I might be like the velvet moon to you
