Its a quarter to seven
On a saturday morning
I open my eyes
After the friday night
I dont worry about
The rain upon my window
Cause where Im going
I know the sun will always shine
So now Im heading away
Down to rio de janeiro
Ill be leaving all my
Lonely times behind
And if Im looking for love in
Rio de janeiro
Therell be someone there
I know wholl find the time
In this golden place
Theres a smiling face
Ive got to find
And I wont have to wait too long
Before shes mine
My friends are telling me
Im chasing rainbows
Or searching for the
Gold beneath the sea
But rainbows only shine
When its been raining
And gold will never
Keep you company
So now Im wonderin
What to say in conversation
To the lady of my dreams
That I should meet
If I speak to her
The language of all nations
Then Im sure that shed be
Knocked right off her feet
And I know she will
Then Ill love her
Till the end of time
And I wont have to wait too long
Before shes mine
Well Ive been happy enough in
Rio de janeiro
Ive got a woman here
That I can call my own
It doesnt matter if
Im living here or there-o
Cause she used to live
Next door to me back home
So if youre thinking that
Ive settled down forever
Ill be telling you
Youve made a big mistake
Cause Ill be heading away
Down to denver, colorado
Theres a woman there
Ive got to try and make
She can fill the hole
In my heart and soul
For a long, long time
And I wont have to wait
Too long before shes mine
