Romance
David Cassidy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Romance across a crowded room she looked so right.
And suddenly the whole world just stood still
I knew I had to move or I'd blow my chance making sweet
Romance she had the spark to set my heart on fire.
Romance I knew she felt me burning with desire.
And as I reached to ask her for her hand
She offered me a look I'll never forget.
Darling
We can take our time.
Turn the lights down low
Tonight I feel like letting go
And making sweet
Romance then I stroke your hair
Feel your face.
Romance I feel you start to move with such grace.
I hold you in my arms
You tremble and shake
And when I kiss your mouth it thrills me to death.
For tonight you're mine
Darling
We can take our time
Romance, romance, romance, romance.
Ca me fait vibrer et trambler
La facon donc tu me touches.
I'll make romance
Darling
I will make romance.
I want
Want make romance
With you I wanna make romance.
The lyrics of David Cassidy's "Romance" describe the powerful attraction between two people at first sight. The singer narrates how he met the woman of his dreams dancing across a crowded room and how the world stood still when they caught each other's gaze. He knew he couldn't let the chance go by, so he approached her and asked her to dance. The woman reciprocates his feelings and invites him to spend the night with her, making it clear that she has become irresistible to him. The singer is happy to oblige and they share a moment of intimacy filled with passion and tenderness. The French verse adds another layer of sweetness to the song as it describes how the singer is moved by the woman's touch and the way she makes him feel.
The song is a classic example of a romantic ballad that captures the excitement and joy of falling in love. The lyrics are straightforward and easy to follow but convey a lot of emotions and intimacy. The use of sensory details such as stroking hair, feeling faces, and kissing mouths creates a vivid image in the listener's mind and makes the experience of making sweet romance all-encompassing. The music is equally dreamy and soothing with its gentle melody and soft instrumentation, which enhances the mood of the lyrics and makes the listener feel embraced by the warm atmosphere of the song.
