I met a girl at the carnaval
In Rio de Janeiro
We danced all night on the boulevard
In doorways we did the tango

I miss her lips
And the way she sashayed her hips
As she shook her shoulders
I miss the smell of her hair
I don't care if it takes my whole life
To find her

We were dancing in the summer rain
We were dancing throught the night
She never said her real name
So I called her Spanish eyes
Spanish eyes ...

The sun came up
And the girl was gone
Her masquerade was over
I searched the streets
Drunk with love
But no one seemed to know her

I miss the touch
Of her body so much
I long for the warmth inside her
Somewhere in time she will come
Back to me
And I'll spend my whole life beside her
Repeat
