Lyrics
My romance doesn’t have to have a moon in the sky,
My romance doesn’t need a blue lagoon standing by.
No month of May, no twinkling stars,
No hide away, no soft guitars.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,
My romance doesn’t need a thing but you.
