Isn't it Romantic?
(Rodgers and Hart)
ISN'T IT ROMANTIC?
I've never met you, yet never doubt, dear;
I can't forget you, I've thought you out, dear.
I know your profile and I know the way you kiss,
just the things I miss on a night like this.
If dreams are made of imagination
I'm not afraid of my own creation.
With all my heart, my heart is here for you to take.
Why should I quake? I'm not awake.
Isn't it romantic?
Music in the night, a dream that can be heard.
Isn't it romantic?
Moving shadows write the oldest magic word.
I hear the breezes playing in the trees above
while all the world is saying you were meant for love.
Isn't it romantic
merely to be young on such a night as this?
Isn't it romantic?
Every note that's sung is like a lover's kiss.
Sweet symbols in the moonlight,
do you mean that I will fall in love per chance?
Isn't it romance?
My face is glowing, I'm energetic.
The art of sewing I found poetic.
My needle punctuates the rhythm of romance.
I don't give a stitch if I don't get rich.
A custom tailor who has no custom
is like a sailor, no one will trust 'em.
But there is magic in the music of my shears.
I shed no tears, lend me your ears.
Isn't it romantic?
Soon I will have found some girl that I adore.
Isn't it romantic?
While I sit around my love can scrub the floor.
She'll kiss me every hour or she'll get the sack
and when I take a shower she can scrub my back.
Isn't it romantic?
On a moonlight night she'll cook me onion soup.
Kiddies are romantic
and if we don't fight we soon will have a troupe.
We'll help the population,
it's a duty that we owe to dear old France.
Isn't it romance?
- Lorenz Hart & Richard Rodgers
i don't believe I've ever sung that last verse before. ;^D
My great grandparents had a similar story 100 years ago, but she died two days later. The San Franicisco Chronicle headline read: She Follows Him To The Grave
My cousin used to say that he had told her, I'll take you with me Kathleen.
Oh! I love that song!
My mother and father celebrate their 51st on May 21 of this year.
Their song is "Time After Time".
My mom's not doing so well now and I'm not able to visit them as much as I'd like.
Brings a little tear to my eye when I hear their song....
"Time after time, I tell myself that I'm, so lucky to be loving you..."
*Sigh*
