What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Romance, a play boy who is born each spring
2
To teach the nightingale to sing
3
A very pretty song: "I love you".
4
Romance, a legend on an old brocade,
5
A prince who tells a country maid: "I love you".
6
Now where this whimsy comes from, I don't know;
7
For when it comes it's just about to go.
8
Romance, a flower that will bloom awhile
9
With sunshine from a lover's smile,
10
That lover's tears bedew! Ah!
11
Yet, when I seek this beauty,
12
Flower of youth's first dawning,
13
I find a prosy work-a-day world
14
Stretching and yawning!
15
Love is locked up in cages,
16
Kept for a poet's pages;
17
Life and adventure
18
Don't seem to be paying attention to me!
19
And so I dream of fair Romance
20
And let my fancies weave pretty stories.
21
And tho' I know they are not so,
22
I like to go wand'ring amid their wistful glories.
23
My princes become what I mold them,
24
And they stay for the breath of a sigh!
25
I open my arms to enfold them,
26
And they're gone like a breeze rushing by.
27
Ah, this is a humdrum world,
28
But when I dream I set it dancing.
29
When life is gray, I have a way to keep it gay,
30
Passing the time of day with love.
Kathryn Grayson, Gordon MacRae - Desert ...
