about

Songwriting team Richard Rogers and Lorenz Hart composed this song for the musical film “Love Me Tonight” (1932). The song’s beginning is sung by male lead Maurice Chevalier, and then passed relay-style through a series of minor characters before being finished by female lead Jeanette MacDonald.

lyrics

I’ve never met you, yet never doubt, dear
I can’t forget you
I’ve thought you out, dear
I know your profile, and I know the way you kiss
Just the thing I miss on a night like this

If dreams are made of imagination
I’m not afraid of my own creation
With all my heart, my heart is here for you to take
Why should I quake?
I’m not awake

*
Isn’t it romantic?
Music in the night
A dream that can be heard

Isn’t it romantic?
Moving shadows write the oldest magic word
I hear the breezes playing in the trees above
While all the world is saying you were meant for love

Isn’t it romantic?
Merely to be young on such a night as this
Isn’t it romantic?
Every note that’s sung is like a lover’s kiss

Sweet symbols in the moonlight
Do you mean that I will fall in love perchance?
Isn’t it romance?
(repeat from * )
