Aquele moço que amei
Em plena flor da juventude
Cheio de luz e atitude
Era repleto de virtudes
Amei demais esse rapaz
Ele tinha leveza sem riqueza
Soltava risada sem piada
Dava o seu amor
Sem me causar dor
Com o tempo a vida desbotou
Senhor! Canto alto pra Deus ouvir
Traz o samba pra ele sentir
Faz meu homem voltar a sorrir
Senhor! Nosso amor só se faz no agora
Sei que a juventude foi embora
Deixa as virtudes de outrora
Aquele moço virou homem
Meu Deus, como as virtudes somem!
Saiu do trilho, tá sem brilho
Perdeu a chama, só reclama
Chorei demais, não tem mais paz
Agora só a riqueza tem beleza
Hoje nem da piada ele acha graça
Não tem mais calor
Só me causa dor
O que aconteceu com meu amor?
Senhor! Traz o samba pra ele ouvir
Noel Rosa, Cartola, Almir
Faz meu homem voltar a sorrir
Senhor! Nosso amor só se faz no agora
Sei que a juventude foi embora
Mas deixa as virtudes de outrora
