PERFIDIA (TONIGHT)

Jimmy Dorsey



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
