Isn't It Romantic
Diana Krall Lyrics

Isn't it romantic?
A rhetorical question, wondering whether the current situation could be deemed romantic.

Music in the night
The presence of music during this evening.

A dream that can be heard
Music that elicits such a visceral response that it feels like a dream come true.

Isn't it romantic?
Repose of the underlying question, emphasizing the ongoing theme of romantic escapism.

Moving shadows write the oldest magic word
The ethereal nature of nighttime casts a spell on the surroundings, leaving a mystical trail of memories.

I hear the breezes playing in the trees above
The atmosphere of the night is serene with the gentle soothing sound of leaves rustling in the wind.

While all the world is saying you were meant for love
There's a sense that fate is guiding people towards romantic love.

Isn't it romantic?
The question repeats, with the same sentiment - this is all very romantic.

Merely to be young on such a night like this?
Being young and alive during a night like this is enough to inspire romantic thoughts under the stars.

Isn't it romantic?
Repeating the question, reflecting on the self-perpetuating romantic feeling that permeates the night.

Every note that's sung is like a lover's kiss
The music being played feels like it's coming from a place of passion and intimacy.

Sweet symbols in the moonlight
The romantic symbols of this evening seem like they're lit up by the glow of the moon.

Do you mean that I will fall in love perchance?
Speculating whether the romantic environment of the night will lead to a personal experience of falling in love.

Isn't it romantic?
The song ends with the same question it began with - the romantic feeling being pervasive and lingering.
