Romance - Kathryn Grayson
Romance a play boy
Who is born each spring
To teach the nightingale to sing
A very pretty song: "I love you"
Romance a legend on an old brocade
A prince who tells a country maid: "I love you"
Now where this whimsy comes from
I don't know;
For when it comes it's just about to go
Romance a flower that will bloom awhile
With sunshine from a lover's smile
That lover's tears bedew Ah
Yet when I seek this beauty
Flower of youth's first dawning
I find a prosy work-a-day world
Stretching and yawning
Love is locked up in cages
Kept for a poet's pages;
Life and adventure
Don't seem to be paying attention to me
And so I dream of fair Romance
And let my fancies weave pretty stories
And tho' I know they are not so
I like to go wand'ring
Amid their wistful glories
My princes become what I mold them
And they stay for the breath of a sigh
I open my arms to enfold them
And they're gone like a breeze rushing by
Ah this is a humdrum world
But when I dream I set it dancing
When life is gray
I have a way to keep it gay
Passing the time of day with love
