Folks say that I act very shy There's truth in that, I'll confess The reason, you see Is known just to me I'm sure that you would never guess I want an old-fashioned romance A kiss and a shy glance But where is there someone like me? Who longs for a garden That's just built for dreams Where we can make love 'Neath the friendly moonbeams By a dreamy lagoon We would gaze at the moon And plan on how happy we'd be When we were wed Now that's why I've said Just an old-fashioned romance for me In the gloaming 'Neath a window Lovers sang long years ago 'I love you as I never loved before' But they don't make love like that anymore So I want an old-fashioned romance Just a kiss and a shy glance But where is there someone like me? Who longs for a garden That's just built for dreams Where we can make love 'Neath the friendly moonbeams And by a dreamy lagoon We would gaze at the moon And plan on how happy we'd be When we were wed Now that's why I've said Just an old-fashioned romance for me
