Most used lyrics after the 1960s: "Quiet nights of quiet stars, quiet chords from my guitar, floating on the silence that surrounds us. Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams, quiet walks by quiet streams... " Gene Lees' version follows with: "and a window that looks out on Corcovado, oh how lovely. This is where I want to be, here with you so close to me, until the final flicker of life’s ember. I who was lost and lonely, believing life was only, a bitter tragic joke, have found with you, the meaning of existence, oh my love"
