So close your eyes
For thats a lovely way to be Aware of things your heart alone
Was meant to see
The fundamental loneliness goes
Whenever two can dream a dream together
You can’t deny
Don’t try to fight the rising sea
Don’t fight the moon, the stars above
And don’t fight me The fundamental loneliness goes
Whenever two can dream a dream together
When I saw you first
The time was half past three
When your eyes met mine
It was eternity
By now we know
The wave is on its way to be Just catch that wave don’t be afraid
Of loving me The fundamental loneliness goes
Whenever two can dream a dream together
Together… together… together…
Intermezzo
When I saw you first
The time was half past three
When your eyes met mine
It was eternity
By now we know
The wave is on its way to be Just catch that wave
Don’t be afraid of loving me The fundamental loneliness goes
Whenever two can dream a dream
Together, together, together
Together, together, together…
I was a teenager when I first heard this on WMAL radio in the Washington, DC suburbs back in the 60s. Felix Grant was the DJ and he was instrumental in bringing Bosa Nova to the US. After hearing this I immediately went out and bought the album. I just about wore it out.
