The Girl From Ipanema
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, each one, she passes goes "ah!"
When she walks she's like a samba that swings
So cool and she's so gentle
And when she passes, each one, she passes goes "ah!"
Oh, but I watch her so sadly
How can I tell her, I love her?
Yes, I would give my heart gladly
But each day when she walks to the sea
She looks straight a head not at me
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, each one, I smile, but she doesn't see
She doesn't see
She just doesn't see
