This Is Romance
Peggy Lee · Other Songs - Peggy Lee
Countless crowds of silver clouds enthralling us
You and I together, lovers of a feather
Heaven's near with you my dear with me.
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
Oh yet you fail to surrender to a night such as this
What dreamy magic of your eyes
Enchanted my heart
But will the magic of your love
Be granted my heart
I'm in a trance, let me be heaven bound dear
This is paradise found dear
Sweetheart this is romance.
La-da-da-dee,la-da-da-da-da-dee
La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-dee
Yet you turn from my kiss
La-da-da-dee,la-da-da-da-da-dee
La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-dee
To a night such as this
What dreamy magic of your eyes
Enchanted my heart
But will the magic of your love
Be granted my heart
I'm in a trance, let me be heaven bound dear
This is paradise found dear
Sweetheart this is romance.
