Marrying For Love 1950 Berlin

Ten generations of Constantins
lived very comfortable lives.
They were contented to
live in style
supported by their wives.
Daughters of men who were wealthy
fitted them like a glove.
They all married for money
I meant to marry for love,

It's an old fashioned idea,
marrying for love.
And that old fashioned idea's
what I'm thinking of
where there's love,
poets have said
two can live as one,
that's an old fashioned idea,
but it's being done.
[Boy:] If she must have gold
let it be in her hair
rubies, let them be in her lips,
Diamonds, let them shine in her eyes,
Just an old fashioned romance
with a moon above
a romance
one that will end marrying for love.
That's the kind of love
that I'm thinking of.

It's an old fashioned idea,
marrying for love.
And that old fashioned idea's
what I'm thinking of
where there's love,
poets have said
two can live as one,
[Girl:] When I find the man
that I'm crazy about
there's much that I could do without,
But I couldn't do without love.
Just an old fashioned romance
with a moon above
a romance
one that will end marrying for love.
That's the kind of love
that I'm thinking of.
