LYRICS
Lately I’ve been thinking about you and me, 
Of what we are and what we used to be.
Walking through the park and looking at the tree, 
in which we carved our names, baby, you and me.

And as the wind blows thru the leaves, 
my mind fills up with memories, 
blending with the smell of that familiar summer breeze, 
when we were young and so in love,
the days we couldn’t get enough..
How did they all fade into the past, too fast? 

Lately I’ve been thinking about you and me,
of what we are and what we used to be.
Now our names are written in a familytree;
we’ve grown up way too quickly, you and me.

And meanwhile life passes us by
We know that time really does fly, 
watching as our children grow and learn to say goodbye.
When were we young and so in love?
the days we couldn’t get enough
how did they all fade into the past, too fast? 
But the memories will last

I know your body tells you
But keep listening to your mind
Ask yourself the question – 
is it love that makes you blind?
If you know the morninglight will hit you in the eye
Then walk away
And save your love for another day

Yet the music plays on
Everybody has gone
And the wine is too strong
Not to have blended what’s right with what’s wrong
And the music plays on
And his body feels warm
And the feeling is so strong
Nothing stops you from carrying on

I know your body tells you
But keep listening to your mind
You’ll find yourself in true love’s sweet embrace another time
know that true love’s kiss –much more than this- is hard to find
Just walk away, and save your love for another day

Why do I feel things that you deny?
Who are you to call my love untrue?
When will we agree to all that we can be?

A kiss to start the day, 
A tender word to say
A song to sing along		 
a heart beat that is strong
A stroll along the shore	
three kids, or maybe four, or more		

A message on your phone
A laugh that’s ours alone
A loveseat on our lawn 
A shoulder to lean on
A pact between and me
That’s all that we can be 
			
Why do I feel things that you deny?
Who can prove that our love could be true?
Then will we agree to all that we can be?
Finally agree, to all that we can be

I wake up and I need you like the morning sun
I crave you like coffee for my cup
I long for you all day and when the eve’s begun 
I wonder why I ever gave you up

I can’t forget the day we met, the night so fine
It felt so good, I thought we’d never part
But little did I know that you weren’t only mine
Now I’m alone here with my broken heart

Without you there – It’s like eating from an empty plate
I despair – as I’m waiting to be served
I’ll be the last  – so I fill my glass, that’s my best friend
Until I fall asleep and it starts over again 

I know this can’t go on and you’re not Mr. Right
But how about the chance I could be wrong
Cause how can I erase you from my dreams at night
Whatever will it take to make me strong?

Honey I’m so blue without you
How can Love be true without you?

Without you there – I am sleeping in a cold empty bed 
I don’t care – how you treated me so bad
I close my eyes and imagine I’m back in your arms
I dream about you until I hear the alarm  

Honey I’m so blue without you 
How can  Love be true without you without you?

Busy Days

In this adaptation of Jobim's Desafinado, Louise sings about how the human immune system can be "slightly out of tune", thus failing to "recognize" and get rid of cancer cells. In her dayjob as a scientist at an antibody company, Louise works on immunotherapies to help overcome this. 

She is also a singer-songwriter @www.LouiseAlexandraMusic.com.

Slightly Out Of Tune (immuno-Oncology Bossa)

Scientist-Singer-Songwriter.  While working in Boston for 15 years as a cancer researcher, Louise's musical 'side-career' took off under the wings of the late and great jazz vocalist and mentor Rebecca Parris, who embraced Louise as her musical protegee. Besides interpreting the great american jazz standards, Louise writes  her own songs; poignant stories and catchy compositions with unique flavours of  jazz, latin, pop, and singer/songwriter fusion, brought to life by Boston’s finest jazz musicians. Rebecca Parris produced Louise's 2012 debut Destiny and directed the recordings of the upcoming album "TODAY", but sadly passed before seeing the second album come to fruition. The dedication is evident. Having since returned to The Netherlands, where she continues her scientific career, Louise is excited to premiere her new album "Today" on 12/12/2020!
