My Romance
Michael Feinstein 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 soft 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 have to have a moon in the sky
My romance doesn't need a blue lagoon standing by
No month of May, no twinkling stars
No hide away, no soft 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 Michael Feinstein's "My Romance" are all about the powerful and enduring love between two people, and how that love can transcend any external trappings or romantic cliches. The first line of the song sets the tone for this theme, with the singer declaring that "My romance doesn't have to have a moon in the sky." This line suggests that the singer's love is so strong that it doesn't need any extra embellishments or symbols to make it special - it's already special all on its own.
The song goes on to list the various things that a traditional love story might include - a blue lagoon, twinkling stars, soft guitars - and dismisses them one by one. The message seems to be that these things are nice, but ultimately not necessary to make a romance truly great. Instead, the singer asserts that they can make their most fantastic dreams come true just by being with the one they love.
Throughout the song, the singer's voice is soft and tender, conveying a feeling of deep emotion and intimacy. The simple, unadorned melody and spare musical arrangement allow the lyrics to take center stage and communicate the powerful message of enduring love.
