Wasn't It Romantic - Michael Feinstein

Though the world has grown cold

We can vanish the chill

We can order the present to vanish at will

We can darken the room we can start the machine

And from here in the gloom as we gaze at the screen

We can step into yesterday still

We can step into yesterday still

Ohh wasn’t it romantic,

All storybook & song

You fragile as a snowflake

I resolute & strong

How lovely the glow that I recall

How lovely, to know that love was all

White willows in the moonlight,

Bright silver in the street

Ohh did it really happen,

Or was it just a dream?

No matter I still await

The moment when

I will know romance again

Isn’t it romantic

Ohh wasn’t it romantic,

Music in the night

All storybook & song

A dream that can be heard

Isn’t it romantic

You fragile as a snowflake

Moving shadows write

I resolute & strong

The oldest magic word

How lovely the glow that I recall

I hear the breezes playing

In the trees above

How lovely, to know that love was all

While all the world is saying

You were meant for love.

Isn’t it romantic

White willows in the moonlight

Merely to be young

Bright silver in the street

On such a night as this

Isn’t it romantic

Ohh did it really happen,

Every note that’s sung

Or was it just a dream?

Is like a lover’s kiss.

No matter I still await

Sweet symbols in the moonlight

The moment when

Do you mean that I will fall in love perchance?

I will know romance again

Isn’t it romance.

Wasn’t it romance
