Isn't It Romantic?
The Ruby Braff George Barnes Quartet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Music in the night
A dream that can be heard
Isn't it romantic
Moving shadows write the oldest magic word
I hear the breezes playing in the trees up 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's sung is like a lover's kiss
Sweet symbols in the moonlight
do you think that I will fall in love per chance?
Isn't it romance?
Isn't it romantic
On a moonlight night
She’ll cook me onion soup
Kiddies are romantic
and if we don't fight we soon will have a troupe
We'll help the population,
it's a duty that we owe to dear old France
Isn’t it romance?
