Meet Me In Rio Lyrics

I’ve wasted some years
Looking for the things that matter
Looking for the things that never appear
‘til they’re done
And they may never have been
But that was just the beginning

And I’ve longed for sometime
Time I know that was mine
Looking for you
Looking for me
Looking for a place in the world I could be

And I saw you tonight
In a light that could only be
Once in a lifetime
Now I know where I’m destined to go

Meet me in Rio
Meet me in Rio
Where the fire shine
in the dark night where the black lake and the morning
Aren’t more than a warning
That life is either mystery or a mistake
Meet me in Rio
I’m yours

Meet me in Rio
Meet me in Rio
Where the fire shine
in the dark night where the black lake and the morning
Aren’t more than a warning
That life is either mystery or a mistake
Meet me in Rio
I’m yours

Meet me in Rio
I’m yours
Meet me in Rio
Meet me in Rio
Meet me in Rio

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
