Slightly Out of Tune (Desafinado) Songtext
von Doris Day

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 kiss has 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 a 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
And 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 lovin′!
We're bound to get in tune again
Before too long
There′ll be notice if we're not
Oh, when your heart belongs to me completely
Then you won′t be slightly out of tune,
You'll sing along with me
