Desafinado (Slightly Out Of Tune) - Julie London

Love is like a never ending melody

Poets have compared it to a symphony

A symphony conducted by the lighting of the moon

But our song of love is slightly out of tune

Once your kisses raised me to a fever pitch

Now the orchestration doesn’t seem so rich

Seems to me you’ve changed the tune we used to sing

Like the bossa nova love should swing

We used to harmonize two souls in perfect time

Now the song is different and the words don’t even rhyme

‘Cause you forgot the melody our hearts would always croon

What good’s a heart that’s slightly out of tune?

Tune your heart with mine the way it used to be

Join with me in harmony and sing a song of love

We’re bound to get in tune again before too long

There’ll be no Desafinado when your heart belongs to me completely

Then you won’t be slightly out of tune, you’ll sing along with me!
