Carioca Girl

From up in the mountains you can see the beaches lying in the sun
Copacobana to Leblon
And daily you go there knowing you will see a vision when she comes
Walking straight out of a Jobim song
You canў‚¬"ўt help but stop and stare — olive skin and raven hair
With a voice like angels wings she casts her spell oh yeah
Sheў‚¬"ўs a Carioca girl, walks like an angel, talks like an angel
Carioca girl, sheў‚¬"ўll take your breath away
Sheў‚¬"ўs a Carioca girl, walks like an angel
Slowly the night falls,
As Corcovado looks down on the scene below
And music spills from the street cafѓ(c)s
Gilberto Gil playing —
The songs they seem to resonate with life and love
In the Brazillian way
And you see her dancing there,
how she seems to float on air
With a rhythm divine she can leave life behind,
In the way that she moves transcends time. You can tell
Sheў‚¬"ўs a Carioca girl, walks like an angel, talks like an angel
Carioca girl, she takes your breath away
Carioca girl, Carioca girl yeah yeah
And you see her dancing there,
How she seems to float on air
Sheў‚¬"ўs a Carioca girl, walks like an angel, talks like an angel
Carioca girl, oh yeah, she takes your breath away…
Carioca girl Carioca Girl Carioca girl Carioca Girl
You see the way she moves you see those smiling eyes
You see the sound of Rio, you see it in her eyes
You hear the sound of Rio, in her eyes
