This Is Romance Lyrics
Hal Kemp
Lyrics
This is romance
There's a sky to invite us
And a moon to excite us
Yet you turn from my kiss
This is romance
It's a moment of splendor
Yet you fail to surrender
To a night such as this
The dreamy magic of your eyes
Enchanted my heart
But will the magic of your love
Be granted my heart?
Now I'm in a trance
Let me be heaven bound, dear
This is paradise found, dear
Sweetheart, this is romance
