No Consolation

One of my very first Bossa Nova compositions, No Consolation was created in 2010. I collaborated with the brilliant and accomplished American author, Ms. Sonia Levitin.  Here are her haunting lyrics, and a little taste of a recording with Ms. Costa and the band, as we prepare for our next concert.

You, longing for you

in the light of the dawn, I think of you

The days seem to linger too long

Without your face, time is a lonely place

Memory haunts me like a song.

Long ago, I was alone

And I thought I knew, just how to arrange my days

But then, you rushed into my life

And suddenly, everything changed for me

Everything changed in me, everything changed.

Friends all tell me I'll get over it

I'm not trying to get over it

i just want to keep you in my memory.

They keep saying that they knew it

Trying hard to help me through it

Saying from the start that it was meant to be.

No, No Consolation

Let me spend the day, and end in the night,

My heart longing only for you

Tomorrow, yes tomorrow,

Maybe I'll go and open my door.

Crying no more, sighing once more,

Loving once more.
