I was in Arizona
Someone called me on the phone
A voice like music said
You're not alone this rhythm is a dream
There was a beam of light
A stream of poetry
United seven angels in the night
The likes of Brubeck & Jobim

Suddenly the moment was a samba sublime
Lyrical, melodious in five quarter to time

Then you became enchanted with me
And my shadow vanished
In the brightest eye we merged
And now we're music in the sky

5/4 samba changed my life
To rhythm & rhyme
5/4 samba is a stage
In the river of time

5/4 samba changed my life
And you became mine
5/4 samba changed my strife
To rhythm & rhyme
5/4 samba changed my life
To rhythm & rhyme

5/4 samba changed my life
With angel divine
5/4 samba changed my life
And you became mine
5/4 samba changed my life
To rhythm & rhyme
