Golden light falls on Copacabana's shore Gentle waves whisper secrets I've heard before Palm trees sway to the rhythm of your heart In this moment, we're never apart The ocean breeze carries your perfume Dancing shadows in the fading bloom Sunset in Rio, painting the sky Colors of passion that never die Hold me closer as the day slips away In your arms, I'll always stay Street musicians play our favorite song The melody carries us along Through the cobblestone streets of old Our love story waits to be told Carnival lights begin to glow Time moves fast but love moves slow Sunset in Rio, painting the sky Colors of passion that never die Hold me closer as the day slips away In your arms, I'll always stay When the stars appear above the bay And the moon lights up our way Every heartbeat tells me true There's no place I'd rather be than here with you Sunset in Rio, our love's sweet refrain Through the joy and through the rain Hold me closer as the years drift by Our love will never say goodbye
