My Romance
Tuck Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My romance doesn't need to have a moon in the sky
My romance doesn't need a blue lagoon standing by
No month of may
No shining star
No hideaway
No soft guitar

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
'cause my romance doesn't need a thing but you

Overall Meaning

In Tuck's song "My Romance," the lyrics communicate that the singer's love is strong enough to exist without the typical romantic tropes. They declare that their romance doesn't need a moon in the sky, a blue lagoon, the month of May, or even a shining star. The singer goes on to say that they don't need a hideaway or a soft guitar either. Despite the lack of these romantic symbols, the singer says that their love is strong enough to do anything they desire.


Furthermore, the lyrics state that the singer's romance doesn't need a castle rising in Spain or the dancing to a constantly surprising refrain to exist. Instead, the singer can make their most fantastic dreams come true solely because of their love. Hence, the refrain of the song is, "My romance doesn't need a thing but you."


This song beautifully expresses that love is not about the extravagance but the people involved, and it can be simple yet powerful. It does not have to be grand or have external factors, but it can still be fulfilling and joyous.

I feel really lucky to see these guys live in the 90's -- but I have to say , they are just much that better now. And thank you France for supporting American jazz musicians. More love for them there than here.
