Bossa Rio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Two angels in love together they fall
I was wrong to help my self to your love
Its cold though hell will thaw
You left me here to stare
At pictures of a love you left in despair
And I don't want to pray for the love
I think about you everyday now
I wonder where you are
And how you inspire
But it's impossible to see through the smile
That left me here to die
You left me here to stare
At pictures of a love you left in despair
And I don't want to pray for the love
That let the angel fall
You left me here to stare
At pictures of a love you left in despair
And I don't want to pray for the love
That let the angel fall
