I met a girl at the carnival in rio de janeiro.

We danced all night on the boulevard,

In doorways we did the tango.

I miss her lips and the way she sashayed her hips as she shook her shoulders.

I miss the smell of her hair.

I don't care if it takes my whole life to find her

[Chorus]

We were dancing in the summer rain.

We were dancing through the night.

I never knew her real name.

So I called her spanish eyes,

Spanish eyes...

The sun came up and the girl was gone.

Her masquerade was over.

I searched the streets drunk with love but no one seemed to know her.

I miss the touch of her body so much.

I long for the warmth inside her.

Somewhere in time she will come back to me

And I'll spend my whole life beside her.

[Chorus]
