Wasn't It Romantic Lyrics - Michael Feinstein

Though the world has grown cold 

We can vanish the chill 

We can order the present to vanish at will 

We can darken the room, we can start the machine 

And from here in the gloom, as we gaze at the screen 

We can step into yesterday, still, we can step into yesterday, still 

Oh, wasn't it romantic? All storybook and song 

You fragile as a snowflake, I resolute and strong 

How lovely the glow that I recall, how lovely to know that love was all 

White willows in the moonlight, bright silver in the street 

Oh, did it really happen, or was it just a dream? 

No matter, I still await the moment when I will know romance again 

Isn't it romantic? Oh, wasn't it romantic? 

Music in the night, all storybook and song 

A dream that can be heard 

Isn't it romantic? You fragile as a snowflake 

Moving shadows write, I resolute and strong 

The oldest magic word, how lovely the glow that I recall 

I hear the breezes playing in the trees above 

How lovely to know that love was all while all the world is saying 

You were meant for love 

Isn't it romantic? White willows in the moonlight 

Merely to be young, bright silver in the street 

On such a night as this 

Isn't it romantic? Oh, did it really happen 

Every note that's sung or was it just a dream? 

Is like a lover's kiss 

No matter, I still await sweet symbols in the moonlight 

The moment when, do you mean that I will fall in love perchance? 

I will know romance again, Isn't it romance? 

Wasn't it romance?
