The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Brazil, the Brazil that I knew
Where I wander’d with you
Lives in my imagination
Where the songs are passionate
And a smile has flash in it
And a kiss has art in it
For you put your heart in it
And so, I dream of old
Chorus
Brazil, where hearts were entertaining June
We stood beneath an amber moon
And softly murmured “Someday soon”
We kissed and clung together
Then, tomorrow was another day
The morning found me miles away
With still a million things to say
Now, when twilight dims the sky above
Recalling thrills of our love
There’s one thing I’m certain of
Return I will, to old Brazil
