This Must Be Paradise

See that shadow cross the mountain

Summer in the warbler's eye

Beauty never is forgotten,

though the moment passes by.

Imperceptibly the evening

Slowly dials down the light

All the flora seems to smolder

Water-coloring into

the muted pallet of the night.

Can you see how our seclusion is complete?

With the summertime in bloom

And our feet side by side in the grass staring up at the sky

I assume, this must be paradise...

Tenderly now, allow me to demonstrate

You need only undulate

Keeping time with the samba like this while stars rise

With the moon, this must be paradise...

I can think of several uses

For the joys within our reach

And if hunger overtakes us,

Open sesame! I brought with me

Banana, plum and peach

Can you see how our seclusion is complete?

With the summertime in bloom

And our feet side by side in the grass staring up at the sky

I assume, this must be paradise...

Tenderly now, allow me to demonstrate

You need only undulate

Keeping time with the samba like this while stars rise

With the moon, this must be paradise...
