Michael Feinstein Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Music in the air
A dream that can be heard
Isn't it romantic
Moving shadows write the only magic word
I hear the music playing in the trees above
While all the world is saying you were meant for love
Isn't it romantic
Merely to be young on such a night as this
Isn't it romantic
Every note that sounds is like a lovers kiss
Sweet symbols in the moonlight
Do you think that I will fall in love per chance
Isn't it romance
