Isn't It Romantic 1932 "Love Me Tonight"

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 things 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 per chance?
Isn't it romance?

Isn't it romantic?
Soon I will have found
some girl that I adore.
Isn't it romantic?
While I sit around
my love can scrub the floor.
She'll kiss me every hour
or she'll get the sack
and when I take a shower
she can scrub my back.
Isn't it romantic?
On a moonlight night
she'll cook me onion soup.
Kiddies are romantic
and if we don't fight
we soon will have a troupe!
We'll help the population,
it's a duty that we owe
to dear old France.
Isn't it romance?

My face is glowing,
I'm energetic.
The art of sewing
I found poetic.
My needle punctuates
the rhythm of romance.
I don't give a stitch
if I don't get rich.
A custom tailor
who has no custom
is like a sailor,
no one will trust 'em.
But there is magic
in the music of my shears.
I shed no tears,
lend me your ears.

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 per chance?
Isn't it romance?

Isn't it romantic?
Soon I will have found
some girl that I adore.
Isn't it romantic?
While I sit around
my love can scrub the floor.
She'll kiss me every hour
or she'll get the sack
and when I take a shower
she can scrub my back.
Isn't it romantic?
On a moonlight night
she'll cook me onion soup.
Kiddies are romantic
and if we don't fight
we soon will have a troupe!
We'll help the population,
it's a duty that we owe
to dear old France.
Isn't it romance?
