Eu, você, nós dois Aqui neste terraço à beira-mar O sol já vai caindo e o seu olhar Parece acompanhar a cor do mar Você tem que ir embora A tarde cai Em cores se desfaz, Escureceu O sol caiu no mar E aquela luz Lá em baixo se acendeu Você e eu Eu, você, nós dois Sozinhos neste bar à meia-luz E uma grande lua saiu do mar Parece que este bar já vai fechar E há sempre uma canção Para contar Aquela velha história De um desejo Que todas as canções Têm pra contar E veio aquele beijo Aquele beijo Aquele beijo
