Love is like a
Nev-er end-ing mel-o-dy,
Po-ets have com-pared it
to a sym-pho-ny,
A sym-pho-ny con-duct-ed by
the light-ing of the moon,
But our song of love is
Slight-ly out of tune
Once your kiss-es raised me
to a fev-er pitch,
Now the orch-es-tra-tion
Does-n't seem so rich,
Seems to me you've changed
the tune we used to sing,
Like the bos-sa no-va
love should swing . . . .
We used to harm-o-nize
two souls in per-fect time,
Now the song is dif-f'rent
and the words don't e-ven rhyme,
'Cause you for-got the mel-o-dy
our hearts would al-ways croon,
And so What good's a heart
that's slight-ly out of tune?
Tune your heart to mine
the way it used to be,
Join with me in har-mo-ny
and sing a song of lov-ing
We're bound to get in tune
a-gain be-fore too long,
There'll be no Des-a-fi-na-do
when your heart be-longs
to me com-plete-ly
Then you won't be slight-ly
out of tune, you'll
sing a-long with me!
