Taylor, James - Only A Dream In Rio Lyrics
More than a distant land over a shining sea
More than the steaming green. More than the shining eyes
Well they tell me it's only a dream in Rio
Nothing could be as sweet as it seems on this very first day down
They remind me, "Son, have you so soon forgotten?"
Strange taste of a tropical fruit, romantic language of the Portuguese
Melody on a wooden flute, samba floating in the summer breeze
It's all right, you can stay asleep, you can close your eyes
You can trust the people of paradise to call your keeper and tender your good-byes
Oh, what a night, wonderful one in a million frozen fire Brazilian stars
Oh, holy southern cross, later on take me way downtown in a tin can
Can't come down from the bandstand, I'm never thrown for such a loss when they say
Quando a nossa mãe acordar, andaremos ao sol
Quando a nossa mãe acordar, todos os filhos saberão
Todos os filhos saberão e regozijarão
Caught in the rays of the rising sun on the run from the soldier's gun
Shouting out loud from the angry crowd, the mild the wild and the hungry child
I'll tell you there's more than a dream in Rio
I was there on the very day and my heart came back alive
There was more, more than the singing voices
More than the upturned faces and more than the shining eyes
But it's more than the shining eye, more than the steaming green
More than the hidden hills, more than the concrete Christ
More than a distant land over a shining sea
More than a hungry child, more like another time
Born of a million years, more than a million years

Taylor, James Only A Dream In Rio Comments
TRULY his hidden masterpiece. This tune is as good as Fire and Rain or anything he ever wrote. This is beyond incredible
He must be a good man — and men I have met quite a few.
This was the very first concert I ever saw back in 78 loved him then and still love him today, this is one of my favorite songs!
THE BEST EVER, LOVE THIS SONG!
Ouvi essa música hoje de manhã sabia que era James Taylor agora que achei saudades do passado
Oh mr. James Taylor I just love you so much my whole life now here at 55 on top of the mountain oh my lord of Mercy
We saw this performed live back in ‘86, and it was beyond sublime. We were transported from Irvine, California to Rio de Janeiro. Heavenly.
My late husband took us to mgm Grand (10-11-11-one month after the hellish carnage in nyc). The love, emotion that we all experienced that magic, was a balm for every soul present. Thank you everso, sweet baby James!!!!!👼💛💗💛💙💜💚❤👼
one word - masterpiece.
Muito lindo. è emocionante ouvir o trecho cantado em portugues
Que voz perfeita! Love James Taylor!!!!!es maravilhoso❤❤❤❤❤

Love JT. His music never goes out of style.
Stunningly beautiful song. A nice surprise to find here.
isn't it orchestra playback?
James' vocal is live but the band is miming to playback.
@JGMiller that's why we don't hear Rosemary's shaking ;-)

Angela, I hope for the same. Blessings to you..JT is ENORMOUSLY Special
IKR? I've been bargaining with God for years to keep JT alive forever... or at least until I'm gone. Fact is he's only 11 years older than me so maybe my prayer will be answered! 😊❣️
hace tanto tiempo y tantas alegrías, gracias James!
