In honor of the third anniversary
of LOVE SONGS, I have
just placed on the WWW my latest
musical book, True Romance.
It's the story of two sisters
who grow up in a world which cherishes
romance and the extraordinary
things that happen to them as a result.

and you will be catapulted
straight back to December 7,
1941.)
***************************
And here, in the title ballad
from the show,
I have tried to recreate an
actual song from World War II.
True Romance
In a crowded room,
On a busy street,
You don't know why,
But your eyes will meet.
And soon you're floating
In some magic dance---
That's true romance,
That's true romance.
On a lonely road,
A deserted square,
You look up and see
He is standing there.
And soon you're certain
By his loving glance,
It's true romance,
It's true romance.
You think it's perfectly grand
When he says "hello";
You find he's taking your hand
And will never let go---
He'll never let go.
Such things that happen
Are never by chance---
It's true romance,
It's true romance.
