Kathy Barr & The Desert Song Ensemble - Romance

{MARGOT}
Romance
A playboy who is born each spring
To teach a nightingale to sing
A very pretty song!
"I love you"

Romance
A legend on an old brocade
A prince who tells a country maid
"I love you"

Now where this whimsy comes from
I don't know
For when it comes it's just about to go

Romance
A flower that will bloom a while
With sunshine from a lover's smile
That lover's tears be dew!
Ah!

Yet when I seek this beauty
Flower of youth's first dawning
I find a prosy workaday world
Stretching and yawning
Love is locked up in cages
Kept for a poet's pages
Life and adventurе
Don't seem to be
Paying attention to me!

And so I drеam of fair romance
And let my fancies weave pretty stories
And though I know they are not so
I like to go
Wand'ring amid their wistful glories

{MARGOT & SPECIAL GIRLS}
My Princes become what I would them
(Her Princes become what she would)
And they stay for the breath of a sigh
(And then for a breath of a sigh)
I open my arms to enfold them!
(She opens her arms to enfold)
And they're gone
Like a breeze rushing by!
(Gone like a breeze rushing by!)

Ah, this is a humdrum world
(Oh, what a world!)
But when I dream I set it dancing
(But when she dreams she sets it dancing)
When life is gray
I have a way, to keep it gay
Throughout the time, I dream of love
(Of love)
