Romance
The Melachrino Strings and Orchestra 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 softly 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
My romance doesn't need a thing but you
The song "Romance" by The Melachrino Strings and Orchestra talks about how a conventional romance does not need any grand things like the moon or a blue lagoon but only the presence of the person they adore. The opening lines state that the singer's love does not require any grandeur or romantic gestures. The subsequent lines, "No month of May, no twinkling stars, No hideaway, no soft guitars" further elaborate on the fact that true love doesn't depend on these things.
The following verse goes on to clarify that this particular romance is not based on materialistic concepts like castles in Spain or constantly surprising refrains in a dance. The singer claims to be able to make their own dreams come true even without these things. In the end, the two lines, "My romance doesn't need a thing but you, My romance doesn't need a thing but you" wrap up the song's essence – true love does not require anything other than the person they love.
