Staring at a computer screen
And pouring out my heart
Is not the same as a pen and page
Give me romance! Give me art!
Someone fly me to the moon!
Actually, I heard I could go for 65k…
Still – it’s not the same as going there by heart
Give me romance! Give me art!
“Aw, but who wants anything in Black & White?”
You say, “Even BONANZA was in Technicolor from the start!”
But you’ll never see a shadow like Citizen Kane
Give me romance! Give me art!
A typewriter, an amulet, a Victrola Master’s Voice
(Raise your hand if you know what any of these are)
I realize it’s impractical, but what happened to a horse & cart?
Give me romance! Give me art!
Call me Old Fashioned, but you’re drinking one, so…
Maybe we aren’t quite so far apart
You give me the future and I’ll give you the past
And we’ll mambo in the middle…
Old romance, new art
