"Carioca" lyrics - MICHAEL NESMITH

The stars in the night played a Blue Carioca
The moon shone outside as the planet revolved
The wind was caressed with the fragrance of summer
The night gentle nature impelled us to love
And I sat alone on a beach by a palm tree
Your silhouette cast a glow on the sand
And there with the sound of the waves and the smell of gardenias
Two lovers sailed on romance through a magical land

Dancing and dancing all night to that Blue Carioca
Living the wonderful dream that remains
Caught up inside of a Blue Carioca
Two lovers fly on its lovely refrain

Glide, glide on Carioca
Glide, glide on out to sea
Glide, glide on Carioca
Glide, glide on out to sea

Dancing and dancing all night to that Blue Carioca
Living the wonderful dream that remains
Caught up inside of a Blue Carioca
Two lovers fly on its lovely refrain

Glide, glide on Carioca
Glide, glide on out to sea
Glide, glide on Carioca
Glide, glide on out to sea
