Romantic

No one need remind me
How I’ve longed to have somebody find me
Waiting here inside my Empty Blue
No one need repeat it
‘Cause I’m well aware I can’t defeat it
All alone against my Empty Blue
Love walks in when you appear
No one needs to make it clear
That there’ll never be another
For me like you
No one else can do it
You’re the only one to see me through it
Take me far away from my Empty Blue

She walked in and ev’ry one saw her
No one stirred so dazzled we all were
Something in her eyes drew me to her
I didn’t know what I was thinking of
But, I stood up and I fell in love
She smiled at me and what could I do then
That look in here eyes was all that I knew then
Something told me I might be in danger
I didn’t know what I was thinking of
When I stood up and fell in love
We sailed on the seas of pure ecstasy
A lifetime together intended
An ocean of love just for her, just for me
Suddenly it ended
She is gone and I am no wiser
Another fellow now stands beside her
I ask myself if he too’s gonna wonder
If he knew what he was thinking of
When he stood up and fell in love

I took one look at you and I knew then
Life for me would never be the same
That moment you first caught my eye
I suddenly understood why
Up until then I never felt this way
People don’t believe me, but it’s true
I took one look and then I knew
I knew that you would be mine forever
Even though I didn’t know your name
Seeing you just standing there
Made me indelibly aware
That night our love was born
And it was born to stay
Cynics can’t conceive it, but I do
I took one look and then I knew
I was a non-believer through and through
Love was that great deceiver of ingenues
A myth meant for fools and dreamers
So blind was I
But then you came and opened my eyes
And love flooded in
Only then did I realize what a fool I had been
So many yesterdays we have shared now
Ours has been a lovely lovers’ game
Sure, we’ve seen ups, we’ve seen downs
With lots of laughs and some frowns
But after all, I still recall
That day when you appeared
And made my world so new
Love at first sight with you would be true
I took one look and then I knew

I’ve asked you many times and always you’ve declined
My offers so repetitive
But soon you’re gonna find that something’s fixed in my mind
I’m inclined to be competitive
Someday I will win the contest
Cross the line and seize the trophy
Someday I will triumph at what I aim to do
And, Baby, I aim to do it with you
Someday I will savor vict’ry
Know the taste and thrill of conquest
Someday I will make it, I’m gonna see it through
And, Baby, I’m gonna make it with you
You’re the one who should run this marathon with me
When it’s done I know who the winner’s gonna be
So, let’s get started and we’ll see
Join me in this competition
Maybe you’ll emerge the champion
Maybe yours will be the prizes that ensue
So, come on, Baby,
I want to make it with you
Don’t make it maybe
I want to do it with you

How could I be so wrong?
Why’d it take me so long?
A lifetime of loving I’ve spent
On loves everlasting that came and went
How could I be so wrong?
It was you, it was you
I never noticed what ev’ryone knew
That you were meant for me
And I, I was meant for you
I’ve been blind, out of my mind
Searching the world for a girl
I’d never find
When all along it was always you
How many times have I set out to sail
With some port of love as my destination?
How many times did my voyage fail
When I should have realized
Love was right here before my eyes?
The past is past, my future is cast,
It’s late in the game, but at least and at last
I now know it was always, always you.

Though I’m in a quand’ry I have a clue
Of how to solve these doubts that I feel
The answer’s not beyond me, I know what I must do
To confirm that what I gaze on is real:
Just let me touch you, and then I’ll know
Your’re not a vision that comes and goes
Just let me touch you then it would seem
I’d be sure at once if you’re more than a dream
If I could hear you whisper my name
Your tender tones would prove and proclaim
You’re no mere illusion of beauty supreme
You’d reveal that you are real and more than a dream
How long have I waited for this, eager for you to appear,
A lifetime of love I have missed
In search of someone such as you and now you’re here!
Now I have found you at last, can it be true what I see?
Can all these dreams I’ve amassed
Come alive before my eyes so wond’rously?
Just let me touch you, that’s all I plead
For if I touch you I’d then proceed
At once to show you my passionate esteem
When these doubt I’ve held are at last dispelled
And you’re more than a dream

Just so you know, just so you know
There’s something I must tell you
I haven’t changed, I’m still the same
As that guy you first said ‘yes’ to,
Remember?
Years have passed since the die was cast
That made you mine
When we were oh so young
When we asked would our love last
Till the end of time
When love songs all were sung
I haven’t changed, I’m still the same
Just so you know
Life has taken us on many turns
At times we thought we’d lost our way
At times we acted like two strangers
Trav’ling together
The world is oh so diff’rent now
From when we started off that yesterday
Ev’rything’s so unfamiliar
Wouldn’t you say?
Just so you know, just so you know,
There’s something I must tell you
I love you still, I always will,
Just so you know

On a night such as this
Why deny what we feel?
Why insist that we resist
This passion that’s oh so real?
Your eyes bely what’s in your heart
Why prolong this long delay
Let’s not wonder where to start
Just let the night have her way.
I intend to surrender to
The night and you and thrills untasted
Can’t you see that such ecstasy
By you and me must not be wasted
So let the night have her way
Give in and let her hear us say:
I am yours and you are mine!
Let’s let the night begin!
On a night such as this
It’s all right if we stay
And exchange a single kiss
Then let the night have her way.

Let’s not say goodbye till we meet again
Even though you’ve got to go
In the by and by
Maybe I’ll see you now and then
Let’s save our last goodbye for our next hello
The times with you these years have been oh so real
So quickly did the seasons flow
So we’ll skip the tears and hope that
You will understand
If we save our last goodbye for our next hello
Why must there be such change
Would it be such a crime
If things stayed the way that they are?
Would that we could arrange
To hold back the march of time
And keep things the way that they are
Who knows what’s ahead
In those where and whens
So whimsic’ly our fates bestow
All we know instead
Is that this friendship mustn’t end
Let’s save our last goodbye
For our next hello
