"Vivo Sonhando" (a.k.a. "Dreamer", translated literally as "I Live Dreaming") is a bossa nova song from 1962 with words and music by Antônio Carlos Jobim.[1] English lyrics were added later by Gene Lees.
In 1990, for a Brazilian album project, Susannah McCorkle received permission from Jobim to compose new lyrics in English, entitling her version, "Living on Dreams."[2]
The first recording of "Vivo Sonhando" was by Os Cariocas in 1963.[3] Jobim recorded an instrumental version the same year for his debut album, The Composer of Desafinado Plays, and recorded a vocal version in English on his 1980 album, Terra Brasilis.
