Story Behind The Song
I met the actual girl whow walked to the beach at Ipanema. Her name is Helo(Heloisa) Pinheiro and she inspired Antonio Carlos Jobim(music)& Vinicius de Moraes(lyrics) to write the famous "Girl From Ipanema" (Garota de Ipanema). Helo likes our new song so much that she included "Helo From Ipanema" in her book "The Eternal Girl From Ipanema"

Lyrics
HELO FROM IPANEMA
Music by: Phil Morrison
Keith Williams
Words by: Phil Morrison
This song I sing for Helo
And to see her would be as in a dream
She`d walk the beach at Ipanema
Down in Rio - where life is love supreme
Bridge 1
A cool breeze comes in from the ocean
So gently it blows through her hair
Her body is graceful in motion
Free as a bird that flies
Up in the sky without care
Vinicius wrote words for Helo ...and
Jobim gave those words a melody
Bridge 2
The sun shines on Corcovado
It stands high ...majestically
Below ...was Helo Pinheiro
That tall tan girl, who walked to the sea
Now when you go to Ipanema...
You`ll remember... that song`s famous girl
The sound of bossa nova
This song heard `round the world
This song`s famous girl
