ROMANCE
(Gordon Lightfoot)

As recorded Gordon Lightfoot 1983


You said you were through with romance
Why take a chance on anyone
You're so beautiful too
I can tell by the way that you dance.

They say that people don't change
Why rearrange the original
You do something to me
That my eyes cannot see at a glance.

Signs of a new beginning
Signs of a life worth living
The better to forget than to be all that upset
It's the time to taste the wine.

And maybe someday things will change
And come within range and be laughable
Everything is okay 
I can tell by the way that you dance.

They say that people don't try
That's just a lie, they work miracles
It's a gift from above
When we talk about love and romance.

Signs of a new tomorrow
Signs of a life without sorrow
The better to forget than to be all that upset
It's the time to taste the wine.

And maybe this time you will be
Romantic like me when I'm with you
And I think you might say
I can tell by the way that you dance.

They say that people don't change
Like Home On The Range, it's original
You do something to me
That my eyes cannot see at a glance.

You do something to me
When we talk about love and romance.
