Samba de Paradisio
Paradise is sad because
You can never go back again
Paradise is sad because
You can never cry again
Paradise is sad because
The sun shines only now and then
Paradise is sad because
The clock stops just at ten —
All the trash you left behind
Is lovely in its way
Every funny little thing
With nothing much to say:
Eternity is incomplete without it,
It's a burden, never doubt it,
But you don't know much about it,
Because you're not in Paradise
And Paradise is sad today.
Paradise is sad because...
The moon glides by on purple rails
Across the skies of Paradise
And the clouds spread their silver sails
It's really, really very nice,
Night and day are just the same,
The sun, the clouds, the wind, the rain,
The pleasure and, oh, yes, the pain,
But you, you're not in Paradise
And Paradise is sad today.
Paradise is sad because...
