Non-Stop to Brazil
Astrud Gilberto
Silver jet
Take me
I’m all set
Take me
Through the sky
Fly me to his side
Fly me
Where the air of Rio sings
All my hopes ride on the wings
Make this trip
Non-stop
Like my heart
Non-stop
Bring me where he is
Help my heart be his
Long lost child
Love waits at the end of the sky
So fly me to Brazil
“Seek a true friend, for a friend seeks the benefit of a friend. Do good to the people for the sake of God or for the peace of your own soul that you may always see what is pure and save your heart from the darkness of hate.”

“You own everything that happened to you. Tell your stories. If people wanted you to write warmly about them, they should have behaved better.”
