Lyrics
- There are many lands in this old world of ours
There are lands both far and near
There are lands that we know naught of
There are lands that we hold most dear
But the land most desired the whole world o’er
Is the land of Romance that lies at youth’s door
Refrain
The land of Romance where love reigns supreme
The wonderful land of which all of us dream
The sunlight is golden, the sky always blue
Roses bloom ev’rywhere, birds singing too
The king is Prince Charming so handsome and bold
One to compare, with the gallants of old
And the queen so it seems, is the girl of my dreams
In the wonderful land of Romance
- There are lands where day is all sunshine and flowers
There are lands where all is night
There are lands where peace is reigning
There are lands where men rule by might
But the wonderful land that we love to behold
Is the land of Romance where one never grows old
