From the 1955 musical “Pipe Dream”
Words by Oscar Hammerstein II
Music by Richard Rodgers
The sheet music:
Lyrics
The romance that you have waited for
Will come when it comes
Without a word of warning it will start
With a sudden blare of trumpets
And the rattle of drums
A dream will take possession of your heart
Refrain:
You start to light her cigarette
And all at once you love her
You’ve scarcely talked, you’ve scarcely met
But all at once you love her
You like her eyes, you tell her so
She thinks you’re wise and clever
You kiss goodnight and then you know
You’ll kiss goodnight forever
You wonder where your heart can go
Then all at once you know
