In dreams I once designed you,
Then told a star
That I would never find you,
Yet here you are!

And now that I have met you,
I'll never let you go!
Please let your lips impart
Something my heart must know!

May I have the next romance with you?
Do I stand half a chance with you?
What is may fate?  I await your answer,
My future, what will it be?  You're my destiny!

May I have the next romance with you?
Take my heart and let it dance with you!
And in its ecstasy, every beat implores,
Darling, just to be faithfully yours!

May I have the next romance with you?
Take my heart and let it dance with you!
And in its ecstasy, every beat implores,
Darling, just to be faithfully yours!
