Tears fall like rain
Sweet music is to blame
When you hear a certain sound
Though it might be far away
Put your sadness down
Listen to the sound of the samba
No don't you cry
I sing a lullaby
When your world is in a spin
And it just won't let you go
Take a deep breath in
Listen to the sound of the samba
But the samba does not know
If you're looking for a place you feel you should go
And the samba does not feel all of the things you feel
It's just waiting for a time to show that it's real
Tears fall like rain
Sweet music is to blame
When you hear a certain sound
Though it might be far away
Put your sadness down that's all I have to say
When your world is in a spin
And it just won't let you go
Take a deep breath in
And listen to the sound of the samba
