MY ROMANCE
(Ned Washington / Victor Young)

Arthur Tracy (The Street Singer)

Also recorded by: Al Bowlly


Each love affair they sing about is pretty much the same
But they don’t know how different love can be
There’re other ways to bring about that gentle little flame
Let me explain the way love came to me

My romance was different from the rest
We met one rainy afternoon.
A parasol went gay, and I was in the way
She didn’t even say “I’m sorry”.

My romance, it started on the spot
Without the aid of stars or moon
A look, a smile, a sigh
I still can’t figure why
But that’s how my romance began

(Instrumental Break)

My romance, it started on the spot
Without the aid of stars or moon
A look, a smile, a sigh
I still can’t figure why
But that’s how my romance began
