Isn't It Romantic - Gladys Moncrieff, Columbia Symphony Orchestra, Lorenz Hart

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?
