Slightly Out Of Tune Lyrics

Slightly Out Of Tune lyrics

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!
