THE SUMMER IN BRAZIL song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

I remember the summer
the season we spent in Brazil
the jungle falling down to the coast line
the trees running up to the hill
and you were like a spirit
a ghost dancing over the white crystal sand
a feeling passing through me
that I will never never never understand

I won't call it magic
but something close, close to ecstasy
I won't call it rapture
but it was something, something so perfect to me
a day of light and beauty
a day meant for memory
a day that loved you
and I knew that you love me too
completely

the flowers of the deep woods
gave off the essence of pure serenity
and somehow I knew that
my soul was no longer held in captivity
and freedom seemed so real
and life was a blessing in all its intensity
and you were the north star
that I always would find
no matter where you are
you always, always would be mine

(chorus:)
remember the summer
when you heart went right through me
remember a day
impossible to be
remember the summer
as if it was all there is
the summer, the endless summer
that was the summer
that we learned to live

there was no tomorrow
there was no past, it was a mystery
there was only the moment
the moment that took up, up all history
the sun stopped its moving
the birds stood still in the air
the earth stopped revolving
and we just didn't care

an infinity
compressed into a single point of time
a tranquillity
that stretched the horizon, an endless ever line
and I thought I knew
that such a thing could never come to end
but then at last
the clock was ticking once again
ticking once again

(chorus:)
remember the summer
when you heart went right through me
remember a day
impossible to be
remember the summer
as if it was all there is
the summer, the endless summer
that was the summer
that we learned to live

THE SUMMER IN BRAZIL song lyrics 3rd version
by Joel Sattler

I remember the time
the endless summer
that we spent in Brazil
and I recall
we were so happy
safe in each other's arms
under the hill

and I remember the sun
and the jungle falling
right on down to the sea
and in my mind
I see you dancing
on the white crystal sand
for me

and it went
right through me
a feeling I don't understand
but I knew
it was all true
it was a day of ecstasy

a day of light
when each moment was simply right
something like magic
like a moment that's
full of perfection

in my eyes
you were joy
come to life a day full of beauty
that is the mem'ry
that I'm keeping
of sweet Brazil back in the summer
with you

back when I knew that you loved me too
it was so sweet
the flowers of the deep with you they mingled
and my soul
was complete
and every single part of me tingled
the days were perfect
that we spent there
on the beach of endless summer

in Brazil

when in my mind
I think
I'm going blind

I'm there again
back when
I can be alive and then
I remember endless summer.....
