Song lyrics to My Heart Was Doing a Bolero, performed in Copacabana by Andy Russell, written by Sam Coslow
My heart was doing a Bolero
Under the stars in Rio de Janeiro
Holding you, I was dazzled and electrified
While a tiny little voice inside seemed to whisper
“Darling, this is the moment of moments”
I don’t remember, were we dancing
Was it a Tango or was it a Beguine
All I know is my heart was doing a Bolero
And you were so close to me in Rio de Janeiro
(Instrumental Break/Dance routine)
My heart was doing a Bolero
Under the stars in Rio de Janeiro
Holding you, I was dazzled and electrified
While a tiny little voice inside seemed to whisper
“Darling, this is the moment of moments”
I don’t remember, were we dancing
Was it a Tango or was it a Beguine
All I know is my heart was doing a Bolero
And you were so close to me in Rio de Janeiro
