lyrics

“Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O no, it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wand'ring bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken."
Sonnet 116 - William Shakespeare
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

You stood at the bottom of the stair
Your rumpled shirt, your windswept hair
You smiled and drew me near
Humming softly in my ear
Your hand fit mine like a kid glove, under your spell helpless dove
You made promises you couldn’t keep, but I was blind, in too deep.

Hopeful romantic when I met you
Hopeful romantic through and through
Like a Chaplin movie I played the part
A slave to my foolish heart. mmmmm
Hopeful romantic ‘til my dying day
‘Cause I found that true love never goes away
I’m glad I let love have its way
What can I say?
Hopeful romantic all the way.

Quiet tones of a Gershwin tune
Stolen kiss in the afternoon, soft and slow
In the theater back row
You cradled me in your arms
I gave in to all your charms
In a trance our hopeless romance.

Hopeful romantic till my dying day
‘Cause I found that true love never goes away
I’m glad I let love have its way, what can I say?
Hopeful romantic all the way.

When I’m withered, old and gray
Laying in a daisy field of clay
I know I’ll have no regret
For what you give you get.

Hopeful romantic till my dying day
‘Cause I found that true love never goes away
I’m glad I let love, have it’s way
What can I say?
Hopeful romantic all the way
I’m glad I let love, have its way
What can I say?
Hopeful romantic, lead the way.
