Chris De Burgh - The Ballroom Of Romance lyrics

In the ballroom of romance, there's a rock band playing

People swaying to the beat, swaying in the heat

In the corner over there by the door is a local casanova

Yelling for another double scotch, "hey, steady on the rocks!"

And when the girl walked in, a complete unknown

There was mass confusion, this beauty was alone

And then the room began to shimmer

Every heart was beating fast

Every man who had to win her was moving fast, they said

I'm ready, I'm ready for romance

I'm ready for romance is here at last

In the ballroom of romance, there's a young man waiting

Standing looking over at the scene, it could be you or me

Every eye in the room was watching as she walked over to him

Whispered "do you want to come with me, I'm heading for the beach"

In her BMW 635, going smooth at ninety, feeling good to be alive

And then the moon began to shimmer

Hey, the sea was roaring in

Just one kiss and then his heart began to sing, he said

I'm ready, I'm ready for romance

I'm ready for romance is here at last

Hey, the moon began to shimmer

And the sea was roaring in

And the last thing I remember was her kiss, I said

I'm ready, I'm ready for romance

I'm ready, I'm ready for romance

I said I'm ready, I'm ready for romance

I'm ready for romance is here at last

In the ballroom of romance

In the ballroom of romance

In the ballroom of romance

In the ballroom of romance

I'm ready

Life goes on, same old song

Life goes on and love grows strong

Love grows strong

Love grows strong

Same old song

Love goes on
