Romance
Terri Nunn Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I heard it said
Romance was dead and gone
And I almost believed it was true
Til the moment you came along
I know it's so hard to find romance
When the world moves so fast
But when I look at you
I get the feeling these feelings will last

*chorus*
Let's make our own romance
We've got time, we've got love
That's always been enough
Why don't we take the chance?
Pull me in close and dance
can you bring me your heart?
Bring on the stars
Bring back romance

I've been alone
I know you've been there too
So you know when there's no one to hold
Even moonlight can make you blue
But now, somehow, we've got each other
To fill up the night
And once we strike a spark
It won't take long before a fire will ignite

(repeat *chorus*)
Working together we'll build our love

And once we build it strong
It's gonna last forever

Line by Line Meaning

I heard it said
People often speak about the death of romance

Romance was dead and gone
Romance is perceived to have died and disappeared completely

And I almost believed it was true
I was nearly convinced that romance was dead and gone

Til the moment you came along
Until you showed up in my life

I know it's so hard to find romance
It's difficult to find romance

When the world moves so fast
In a world that is always on the move

But when I look at you
But when I look into your eyes

I get the feeling these feelings will last
I believe that these feelings of romance between us will endure

Let's make our own romance
We should create our own romance

We've got time, we've got love
We have plenty of time and love to share

That's always been enough
Love has always been enough for us

Why don't we take the chance?
Why not take a chance on love?

Pull me in close and dance
Hold me tight and let's dance

Can you bring me your heart?
Will you open your heart to me?

Bring on the stars
Let's bask in the romantic atmosphere

Bring back romance
Let's revive the romanticism that we deserve

I've been alone
I've been lonely

I know you've been there too
I understand that you've also experienced loneliness

So you know when there's no one to hold
You know what it's like to have nobody to embrace

Even moonlight can make you blue
Even the beauty of the moonlight can't take away the loneliness

But now, somehow, we've got each other
However, now we have each other

To fill up the night
To make the nights less lonely

And once we strike a spark
And once we discover the love between us

It won't take long before a fire will ignite
It won't be long before that love turns into something beautiful

Working together we'll build our love
We will build our love together

And once we build it strong
And once our love becomes stronger

It's gonna last forever
It will last forever

Rivalizó sin problemas con los duetos de Peter Cetera, quien fuera el más popular cantante pop de duetos en la segunda mitad de los 80's, desde aquella memorable canción "La próxima vez que me enamore" que Cetera cantara con Amy Grant y que le diera su primer numero uno en las listas de popularidad estadounidenses.
