Isnt It Romantic
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
