Lyrics:
Verse

[Dubusson]
Into the center
Of my heart you enter;
Ah!  fair tormentor,
Tell me you'll be mine.
I'll spend my treasure
On you without measure;
Your whims my pleasure-
How can you decline?

[Sand]
Curb your rare devotion,
Lachrymose emotion,
Or you'll start an ocean
Made of tearful brine.

[Dubusson]
What hidden joys we'll unravel!
There will be no gravel
On the roads we travel
When our souls entwine.

Refrain 1

Love, let us go flying
On the wings of romance.
Why be so denying?
Give your true love a chance.
Though women keep sighing,
At no other I'll glance.
Love is blind,
But we will find
Paradise on the wings of romance.

Refrain 2

[Sand]
Sir, I would go flying
On the wings of romance.
Sir, I'm not denying
My heart's longing to dance.
I've dreamed of a dream home
Where no sorrow would chance-
Just for two,
But not with you-
You will not do for wings of romance.
