       [Verse] 
       
      Waves whisper secrets to the shore 
       
      A language only hearts implore 
       
      Golden sands where dreams adore 
       
      [Chorus] 
       
      Oh Ipanema 
       
      Where the sun always lingers 
       
      Oh Ipanema 
       
      Slipping through my fingers 
       
      The tide pulls me close then sets me free 
       
      [Verse 2] 
       
      Palm trees sway they hum a tune 
       
      Underneath the silver moon 
       
      Night embraces gone too soon 
       
      [Prechorus] 
       
      Footsteps vanish in the sand 
       
      Time dissolves like grains in hand 
       
      [Chorus] 
       
      Oh Ipanema 
       
      Where the sun always lingers 
       
      Oh Ipanema 
       
      Slipping through my fingers 
       
      The tide pulls me close then sets me free 
       
      [Bridge] 
       
      Is it the breeze or is it her smile 
       
      That stretches the moment mile by mile 
       
      Her laughter drifts soft as the sea    |
