Bossa Nova
By Ilya Chervony · American Chanson
Read lyrics
The coffee’s getting cold again
the radio’s almost through
a Bossa Nova in the room
keeps turning into you
You sit somewhere in my thoughts
like a song that won’t let go
long after everyone has left
long after the lights go low
You know I like you
I never hid it very well
and some things don’t get lighter
just because you tell
Everyone has a chance
everyone has a choice
One step in the night
one voice in my heart
And if you wait for something sure
something clear to appear
you might miss the only moment
that was already here
The city wears its midnight lights
like diamonds in the rain
I wonder if you feel the same
or give it all a name
I won’t pull you closer
I won’t ask you to stay
love doesn’t need a reason
it doesn’t move that way
I’m just here at this table
where nothing needs to be said
just two people, one silence
and everything unsaid
Everyone has a chance
everyone has a choice
One step in the night
one voice in my heart
And if you wait for something sure
something clear to appear
you might miss the only moment
that was already here
The coffee’s gone
the song is done
the night is almost through
And if tomorrow changes nothing
Still I’ll think of you
