Meditation - Astrud Gilberto (Acoustic cover English Lyrics)

Here is my cover of the English version of this song, I hope you like it. I have also recorded the Portuguese version: • Meditação - João Gil...
"Meditation" ("Meditação" in Portuguese) was composed by Antonio Carlos Jobim and Newton Mendonça, English lyrics by Norman Gimbel. Astrud Gilberto does a superb English version of this, as does Frank Sinatra.
Mediation
In my loneliness
When you're gone and I'm all by myself and I need your caress
I just think of you
And the thought of you holding me near
Makes my loneliness soon disappear
Though you're far away
I have only to close my eyes and you are back to stay
I just close my eyes
And the sadness that missing you brings
Soon is gone and this heart of mine sings
Yes I love you so, and that for me is all I need to know...
I will wait for you till the sun falls from out of the sky
for what else can I do
I will wait for you
Meditating how sweet life will be when you come back to me

Your Chord Phrasing is fantastic.

Thank you!

Hi, I like your songs, particularly the Bossa Nova standards. I too am English but now live in Brazil, I love this country but I would only live in Paraná or Santa Caterina because these are safer and cooler than further north. Being a Brit, my Portuguese is not 100%, but I can be understood.

[@robemachado]

You can go back home.

Hi, I am now living in Brazil and love Bossa Nova. I play along to this on my bass as a training exercise, I bought a nylon guitar but have found it difficult to replicate what you play - Do you start on A6?

[@SeeShellSinging]

Hi there, the intro starts on F/A but where I start singing is Fmaj6. Hope this helps!

[@isaacllerena2165]

[@glennpowell1838]

Very nicely done. You make being alone an inviting experience if one can play and sing this. You have perfect pitch and play effortlessly, though it required effort. Have you posted the Tabs for your version anywhere?
