Romance and rhythm
Taught me to sparkle anew
Brought me dream-of-able you
Sweetheart
Rhythm and romance
Romance and rhythm
That gave our budding affair
Its start
The stars gleam
The moon beams
The skies seem to smile
The breeze flies
A tree sighs
Please stay around a while
Rhythm and romance
Romance and rhythm
A combination so real
An invitation to steal
Your heart
Now the stars gleam
The moon beams
The skies seem to smile
Oh, the breeze flies
A tree sighs
Please, stay around a while
Rhythm and romance
Romance and rhythm
A combination so real
Oh, oh, an invitation to steal
