Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
In dreams I once designed you
Then told a star
That I would never find you
Yet here you are
And now that I have met you
I’ll never let you go
Please make your lips impart
Something my heart must know
CHORUS
May I have the next romance with you?
Do I stand half a chance with you?
What is my fate? I await your answer
So tell me, what will it be?
May I have the next romance with you?
Take my heart and let it dance with you
And in its ecstasy every beat implores
Darling, just to be faithfully yours
