STRANGEST ROMANCE, THE
(Fay Tishman)

as recorded by Patti Page
1958


It was the strangest romance,
We met at a dance in July;
He came with somebody else,
So did I!

It was the strangest romance,
He came to the dance to forget
Someone he loved,
But he couldn't forget!

He told me the story of how they had parted,
And I understood very well.
My heart was aching,
For him it was breaking,
For I had the very same story to tell!

It was the strangest romance,
Heaven was watching above,
For when the dance ended,
We were in love!

He told me the story of how they had parted,
And I understood very well.
My heart was aching,
For him it was breaking,
For I had the very same story to tell!

It was the strangest romance,
Heaven was watching above,
For when the dance ended,
We were in love!
