"Desafinado" lyrics

"Desafinado"

Love is like a neverending 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 bossa nova, love should swing

We used to harmonize, two souls in perfect time
Now the songs are different and the words don't even rhyme
'Cause you forgot the words our hearts would always croon
So, what good's a heart that's slightly out of tune?

Tune your heart to mine the way it used to be
Join with me in harmony and sing a song of loving
We're bound to get in tune again before too long
Cupid's gonna play the main part
When your heart is given to me completely
Then you won't be slightly out of tune
You'll sing along with me

Tune your heart to mine the way it used to be
Join with me in harmony and sing a song of loving
We're bound to get in tune again before too long
Cupid's gonna play the main part
When your heart is given to me completely
Then you won't be slightly out of tune
You'll sing along with me

Sing along with me
Sing along with me
Ah, sing along with me
Oh, sing along
