________________________________________________________


When I try to sing you say I sound a bit off-key

Can’t stay on the beat and wreck the melody  
    
But you are so beautiful I want to find a way

to sing what's in my heart but it's more than I can say
 
My words for you have to soar outside of me

and to hold them in would be such agony

the camera of my mind has you on a photograph

but when you listen you just have to laugh



And if you must insist on classifying me

You would rate me lower than a senseless comedy

And have to lie to me so I open up to you  
  
So this is bossa nova is taking me to lower grounds


My words for you have to soar outside of me

and to hold them in would be such agony

the camera of my mind has you on a photograph

but when you listen you just have to laugh


Don’t forget that in each beat a heart must go

carried in the tune is more that you can know

if only you could hear the song inside of me

and if I only could touch you


But you are so beautiful and I want to find a way

to sing what is in my heart but it's more than I can say
 
My words for you have to soar outside of me

and to hold them in would be such agony

the camera of my mind has you on a photograph

but when you listen you just have to laugh

Yeah  it does...Thanks Gary...But It would be better if we could extend the ending a few bars...I never paid attention to it when we did it originally but if you find the files see what you can do .
