Rio Nights 1922

When night has fallen down
in dear old Rio,
down in dreamy old Brazil;
The stars begin to shine,
and one that I call mine,
Just waits for me,
I know she loves me still.
The fleecy clouds like mantles
hide the hill tops,
there beside the southern sea;
At this bewitching hour
Beneath an old rose bower,
somebody there is lonesome
just for me.

Rio nights are full
of silent splendour
when the tropic moon
is in the sky,
I keep growing fonder,
ev'ry time I wander,
with a maid
who is so sweet and shy,
Romantic Rio
weaves a spell around you;
Golden hours we spent
so bright and gay,
You just want to spoon,
parting comes too soon;
When you linger down
that Rio way.

When night has fallen down
in dear old Rio,
down in dreamy old Brazil;
the one I call my own,
is now no more alone,
I sit beside her there
when all is still.
The fleecy clouds like mantles
hide the moonlight
Out beyond the harbor lights;
But at this wooing hour,
we sit beneath our bower,
United once again on Rio nights.
