Perfidia

To you My heart cries out "Perfidia" For I find you, the love of my life In somebody else's arms Your eyes are echoing "Perfidia" Forgetful of the promise of love You're sharing another's charms With a sad lament my dreams are faded like a broken melody While the gods of love look down and laugh At what romantic fools we mortals be And now, I know* my love was not for you And so I take it back with a sigh Perfidious one, Goodbye With a sad lament my dreams are faded like a broken melody While the gods of love look down and laugh At what romantic fools we mortals be And now, I know* my love was not for you And so I take it back with a sigh Perfidious one, goodbye Goodbye --- Perfidia - Ben E.
