Perfidia

To you my heart cries out "Perfidia," For I found you, the love of my life, In somebody else's arms Your eyes are echoing "Perfidia," Forgetful of our promise of love, You're sharing another's charms With a sad lament, my dreams Have 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'll take it back with a sigh, Perfidious one, good-bye. --- Perfidia - Jimmy Dorsey
