Lyrics

Intro
Soft guitar strums, gentle percussion fade in
Verse 1

Under the palm trees, where the sea meets the sand I walk alone, with your memory in hand The waves whisper secrets of what we once knew In this endless summer, my heart calls to you

Chorus

Oh, saudade, you pull me like the tide In your arms, I find my peace of mind Dancing in the rhythm of the night Love's gentle fire, burning soft and bright

Verse 2

Moonlight on the water, reflecting our past Echoes of laughter, moments that didn't last Yet in every breeze, I feel you near In this bossa beat, our love reappears

Chorus

Oh, saudade, you pull me like the tide In your arms, I find my peace of mind Dancing in the rhythm of the night Love's gentle fire, burning soft and bright

Bridge

Time slips away like sand through my fingers But the melody lingers, in quiet it sings A touch of sorrow, a spark of delight In your absence, I hold on tight

Chorus

Oh, saudade, you pull me like the tide In your arms, I find my peace of mind Dancing in the rhythm of the night Love's gentle fire, burning soft and bright

Outro
Fading guitar and vocals

Saudade... waves of you... fade into the blue

Gentle percussion trails off
