Of all the boys I’ve known and I’ve known some
‘Til I first met you I was lonesome
You came in sight and my heart grew light
The world was new to me

You’re swell I’ll admit you
Deserve expressions that fit you
Racked my brain hoping to explain
Things you do to me

Bei mir bist du schoen
Please let me explain
Bei mir bist du schoen
Means that you’re grand

Bei mir bist du schoen
Again and again
Means you’re the fairest in the land

I could say bella bella
Even say wunderbar
Each language only goes to show
How wonderful you are

I try to explain
Bei mir bist du schoen
So kiss me, say you’ll understand

Zulu man is feeling blue, hear his heart beat a little tattoo
(Diga diga doo diga doo doo, diga diga doo diga doo)
You love me and I love you, when you love it’s natural to
(Diga diga doo diga doo doo, diga diga doo diga doo)
Well I’m so diga diga doo by nature (by nature)
If you don’t say diga diga doo to your mate you’ll lose that papa
Let those funny people smile, how can there be a virgin isle
(Diga diga doo diga doo doo, diga diga doo diga doo)

Bei mir bist du schoen
Please let me explain
Bei mir bist du schoen
Means that you’re grand

Bei mir bist du schoen
Again and again
Means that you’re the fairest in the land
I could say bella bella
Even say wunderbar
Each language only goes to show
How wonderful you are

I try to explain

Bei mir bist du schoen
Kiss me, kiss me

Kiss me, baby

Bei mir bist du schoen

Over time
I've been building my castle of love
Just for two
Though you never knew you were my reason
I''ve gone much too far
For you now to say
That I've got to throw
My castle away

Over dreams
I have picked out a perfect come true
Though you never knew it was of you I've been dreaming

The sand man has come
From too far away
For you to say come
Back some other day

And though you don't believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed
Over love
Over me

Over hearts
I have painfully turned every stone
Just to find
I have found what I've
searched to discover

I come much too far
For me now to find
The love that I sought
Can never be mine

And though you don't believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed
Over love
Over me

And though the odds say improbable
What do they know
For in romance
All true love needs is a chance
And maybe with a chance you will find
You too like I
Overjoyed
Over love
Over you
Over you.

Trying to pick up the pace,
Trying to make it so I never see your face again.
Time to throw this away,
Want to make sure that
You never waste my time again.

How does it feel?
Oh how does it feel to be you right now dear?
You broke this apart,
So pick up your piece and go away from here.

Please just let me go now.
Please just let me go.
Would you please just let me go now?
Please just let me go.

Out of my, get you out of my,
Get you out of, God,
Get you out of my head.
Get Out.

Gotta get you out of my,
Gotta get you out of, God,
Gotta get you out of my head.
Get Out.

Never said we'd be friends,
Trying to keep myself away from you,
'Cause you're bad, bad news.

With you gone, I'm alive,
Makes me feel like I took happy pills,
And time stands still.

How does it feel?
Oh how does it feel to be the one shut out?
You broke all the rules.
I won't be a fool for you no more my dear.

Please just let me go now.
Please just let me go.
Would you please just let me go now?
Please just let me go.

Out of my, get you out of my,
Get you out of, God,
Get you out of my head.
Get Out.

Gotta get you out of my,
Gotta get you out of, God,
Gotta get you out of my head.

Get Out.

In 2010, the title track earned Claus Ogerman the Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s).
The album's title comes from the English-language title of the bossa nova standard "Corcovado", written by Antonio Carlos Jobim and first made popular in the early 1960s. The title track is one of three selections written or co-written by Jobim. Krall had previously included the Jobim-penned "How Insensitive" ("Insensatez") on her 2006 release From This Moment On, and performed Jobim's "The Boy from Ipanema" with Rosemary Clooney on the latter's 2000 album Brazil.




Someone to hold me tight
That would be very nice
Someone to love me right
That would be very nice
Someone to understand each little dream in me
Someone to take my hand and be a team with me
So nice life would be so nice
If one day I find
Someone who would take my hand and samba through life with me

Someone to cling to me stay with me right or wrong
Someone to sing to me some little samba song
Someone to take my heart and give his heart to me
Someone who's ready to give love a start with me
Oh yes that would be so nice, nice
Should it be you and me
I could see it would be nice

Someone to cling to me stay with me right or wrong
Someone to sing to me some little samba song
Someone to take my heart and give his heart to me
Someone who's ready to give love a start with me
Oh yes, life would be so nice, nice
Should it be you and me

I could see it would nice
