Open up the glass door. Sunlight on the floor. Coffee in a white cup. Waking the city up. I don't need a heavy coat. Read the letter that you wrote. Throw it in the trash can. Don't need another plan.

The air is smelling sweet. Dancing on the street. No worries in my head. Remember what I said.

Take me back to the blue. Where everything is true. I want to feel the heat. Sand beneath my feet. A melody so slow. The only place I know. My heart is in Rio.

Yeah, take me back to Rio.

Birds are flying high. Painting up the sky. Traffic is a mile away. Holiday is here to stay. Lemon in the ice tea. Just the wind and me. Closing up my tired eyes. Cutting all the ties.

The air is smelling sweet. Dancing on the street. No worries in my head. Remember what I said.

Take me back to the blue. Where everything is true. I want to feel the heat. Sand beneath my feet. A melody so slow. The only place I know. My heart is in Rio.

Yeah, take me back to Rio.

I traveled round the earth. To see what it is worth. But nothing feels the same. As calling out that name.

Take me back to the blue. Where everything is true. I want to feel the heat. Sand beneath my feet. A melody so slow. The only place I know. My heart is in Rio.

Yeah, take me back to Rio.
