Song: Like A Lover
Artist: Isabella Ortega
Album: The Bossa Nova Experience
Mood: Oh well. Perfect when you’re in love… when you’re daydreaming about the one you love… when you really want to be with that person. Yikee!!!
This song keeps on playing on my music player for weeks now. I love the song… the melody, and the lyrics. It’s so nice how a lover was compared to the morning sun, the river wind and the velvet moon. Try to read also in the chorus part of the song how the singer envies a cup and a table.
Like a lover, the morning sun / Slowly rises and kisses you awake /Your smile is soft and fuzzy / As you let it play upon your face /Oh, how I dream I might be like the morning sun to you
Like a lover, the river wind / Sighs and ripples its fingers through your hair
Upon your cheek it lingers / Never having known a sweeter place / Oh, how I dream
I might be like the river wind to you
Like a lover, the velvet moon / Shares your pillow and watches while you sleep
Its light arrives on tiptoe / Gently taking you in its embrace / Oh, how I dream
I might be like the velvet moon to you
How I envy a cup that knows your lips /Let it be me, my love / And a table that feels your fingertips / Let it be me, let me be your love /Bring an end to the endless days and nights /Without you
It’s so nice imagining yourself singing this song for someone you want to be with. Yikee!!! Hehe. Of course, when you love someone, you always want to be with that person.
Among the Filipino bossa nova albums that I have, only Isabella Ortega has a version of this song, from her The Bossa Nova Experience album. The CompanY have their tagalog version of this song entitled “Tulad Mo”, from their Destination: Bossa album.
