My Romance
Gene Ammons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My romance doesn't need a blue lagoon standing by
No month of may, no twinkling stars
No hide away, no softly 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
The lyrics to Gene Ammons's song "My Romance" talk about the singer's love for someone and how it doesn't require grand gestures or settings to feel magical. Instead, the simple presence of the person is enough to make their dreams come true. The first two lines of the verse set the tone for the entire song by saying that the love he shares with his partner doesn't have to be under the perfect setting, like a moonlit night or a blue lagoon. He believes that their love stands alone and needs nothing to be considered romantic.
The singer then goes on in the next lines and says that he doesn't need any traditional symbols of love or romance like the month of May, twinkling stars, or softly playing guitars. He doesn't need a castle in Spain or even a constantly surprising dance refrain. All he needs is his loved one and the love that they share. The singer then confesses that with his partner, he can make his most fantastic dreams come true, which is the ultimate representation of his love for them. Overall, the lyrics to "My Romance" illustrate that true romance doesn't need extravagance but can be found in the simplicity of being with the one you love.

Soy saxofonista con 16 años y la verdad que escuchar este genio me hace explotar la cabeza con la sonoridad que lograba😍

Para mí es el más grande y olvidado saxofonista, mi mayor referencia de sonido y timbre de un saxo tenor,

Ammons always 'speaks' through his horn in a way very few jazz players have achieved. This a brilliant and beautiful example, a mastery of communication through music.
@bennyjazzful

This is underrate by a mile. It's time people learned about this guy.
