Each one she passes goes, aaaaaah

This song is one of my all-time favorites. Nothing else takes me back to the early 60's quite like this does. To get in the mood, put on a cool & slinky vintage dress, make yourself a martini - then kick off your heels and start swaying your hips......just like the Girl from Ipanema. 



"The Girl from Ipanema"

Tall, and tan, and young, and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
Each one she passes goes, aaaaaah

When she walks she's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gently
That when she passes
Each one she passes goes, aaaaaah

Ooh, but he watches so sadly
How can he tell her he loves her
Yes, he would give his heart gladly
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at him

Tall, and tan, and young, and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
He smiles, but she doesn't see.......
