Just We Two 1924 Romberg

Happily we have found you;
graciously give the prize!
All of us seek your favour;
quick, ere the music dies!
Gentlemen you are tardy!
Folly your pleading sighs,
I am the partner
who shall guide her,
gazing into her eyes!
No! No! No!

Why should he be the victor
Why should he win the prize?
Why should he be the lucky man
who gazes into her eyes?

Gentlemen, I beg your grace,
'tis no place for a race!
Tho' so much devotion is sublime
I prefer one partner at a time,
Tho' to dance I would adore,
with you all at the ball!
But you cannot have a dance apiece,
kindly cease,
and for peace let me implore.

Just we two if they knew
how in the waltz we woo.
Memories all in vain
echoing still again.
While the waltz swells and halts,
singing of love's sweet pain,
haunting time ending too soon,
while we say Adieu!

Just we two if they knew
how in the waltz we woo.
Memories all in vain
echoing still again.
While the waltz swells and halts,
singing of love's sweet pain,
haunting time ending too soon,
while we say Adieu!
