Saying goodbye to friends    Saying goodbye to lonelyness.  I am on my way to Rio  the place where I wanna be.  You know that I soon will leave  so don't try to make me stay.  I'm on my way to Rio  I'm coming back some day.  Don't you ask me why  got to live a little longer    Don't you start to cry  got to be a little stronger.  Don't you ask me why  got to live a little longer  . . .  Rio de Janeiro - Rio    Land of sun  samba and wine -  Rio de Janeiro - Rio  I feel fine.  Do you believe in love? Do you believe in happyness?  Come with me to Rio  the place where I wanna be.  Dancing the night away  no time for tears and sorrow.  I'm going there tomorrow  I'm coming back someday.  Don't you ask me why  got to live a little longer  . . .  Rio de Janeiro - Rio  . . .  Rio de Janeiro - Rio  . . .
