[Verse 1]
Would you know the romance of a lifetime?
Would you sense it when you met face to face?
Would your heart surmise that yonder lies your pinnacle?
Or would you shut your eyes
Too worldly wise and cynical?

[Verse 2]
Would you guess that his first tender greeting
Was the music of that old, old refrain?
Would you know in advance
That you've met the romance of a lifetime?
Or would you pass him by
Never to meet again?
