- You've given me a love that
I used to seek,
Where the silences are as warm as the words we speak.
You've given me a love that is so secure,
Thoughtful and thoroughly mature.
Something that time would enhance,
I have that love I've been longing for,
So why do I long for romance?
Why travel back where my youth
is
Where shattered dreams take
ages to mend?
Why, when I've learned what
the truth is
That sheer romance is never
love's friend.
Love should be warm and gentle,
Something that time can enhance---
Love should be all that it is
right now,
So why do I long for romance?
Oh, why do I long for romance?
