My Romance

My Romance

music by Richard Rodgers (left)

lyric by Lorenz Hart (right)

I won't kiss your hand, madam, crazy for you though I am.

I'll never woo you on bended knee.

No, madam, not me.

We don't need that flow'ry fuss.

No, sir, madam, not for us

My romance doesn't have to have a moon in the sky.

My romance doesn't need a blue lagoon standing by.

No month of May, no twinkling stars.

No hideaway, no soft guitars.

My romance doesn't need a castle rising in Spain

Nor a dance to a constantly surprising refrain.

Wide awake, I can make my most fantastic dreams come true.

My romance doesn't need a thing but you...
