Though the world has grown cold

We can vanish the chill

We can order the present to vanish at will



We can darken the room, we can start the machine

And from here in the gloom, as we gaze at the screen

We can step into yesterday, still, we can step into yesterday, still



Oh, wasn't it romantic? All storybook and song

You fragile as a snowflake, I resolute and strong

How lovely the glow that I recall, how lovely to know that love was all



White willows in the moonlight, bright silver in the street

Oh, did it really happen, or was it just a dream?

No matter, I still await the moment when I will know romance again



Isn't it romantic? Oh, wasn't it romantic?

Music in the night, all storybook and song

A dream that can be heard



Isn't it romantic? You fragile as a snowflake

Moving shadows write, I resolute and strong

The oldest magic word, how lovely the glow that I recall



I hear the breezes playing in the trees above

How lovely to know that love was all while all the world is saying

You were meant for love



Isn't it romantic? White willows in the moonlight

Merely to be young, bright silver in the street

On such a night as this



Isn't it romantic? Oh, did it really happen

Every note that's sung or was it just a dream?

Is like a lover's kiss

No matter, I still await sweet symbols in the moonlight



The moment when, do you mean that I will fall in love perchance?

I will know romance again, Isn't it romance?

Wasn't it romance?
