Você viu só que amor nunca vi coisa assim
E passou, nem parou, mas olhou só pra mim
Se voltar, vou atrás, vou pedir, vou falar
Vou contar que o amor foi feitinho pra dar
Olha é como o verão quente o coração
Salta de repente só pra ver a menina que vem
Ela vem sempre tem esse mar no olhar
E vai ver tem que ser nunca tem que amar
Hoje sim diz que sim já cansei de esperar
Nem parei, nem dormi, só pensando em me dar
Peço, mas você não vem
Deixo então, falo só, digo ao céu, mas você vem
Você viu só que amor nunca vi coisa assim
E passou, nem parou, mas olhou só pra mim
Se voltar, vou atrás, vou pedir, vou falar
Vou contar que o amor foi feitinho pra dar
Olha é como o verão quente o coração
Salta de repente só pra ver a menina que vem
Ela vem sempre tem esse mar no olhar
E vai ver tem que ser nunca tem que amar
Hoje sim diz que sim já cansei de esperar
Nem parei, nem dormi, só pensando em me dar
Peço, mas você não vem
Deixo então, falo só, digo ao céu, mas você vem

As a Jazz listener it is my first time listening Ms. Stacey Kent. Her voice is extraordinary.

I have just recently found her through UTube as well. She has a stunning; captivating voice but I think what got my attention the most is her ability to phrase a song to perfection so it literally paints a picture. To this point I don’t know anyone who does this as well as her. As I find more and more of her work I am amazed. She definitely has a gift of voice.
