Lyrics

In Brazil, they have a samba with a simple melody
Just one single note is sounded and repeated constantly
Well, my love is like that samba with that simple melody
Just one single, steady feeling that's repeated constantly
That's the way my love is like the sun that shine above
Is ever burning a constant fire, I will leave you never
For I know that you'll forever be returning my great desire
So my single note's a symbol of the love I have for you
And my single note's repeated for my love is constant, too
Yes, if ever I should leave you, I would cry awhile and then
I'd return to you, my true love and my single note again
That's the way my love is like the sun that shine above
Is ever burning a constant fire, I will leave you never
For I know that you'll forever be returning my great desire
So my single note's a symbol of the love I have for you
And my single note's repeated for my love is constant, too
Yes, if ever I should leave you, I would cry awhile and then
I'd return to you, my true love and my single note again
I'd return to you, my true love and my single note again
I'd return to you, my true love and my single note again
