Rupert Holmes The Last of the Romantics song lyrics

We're gonna built a home from stone instead of steel

Our love will make it real

It's a cottage down the lane

We'll fill the fireplace with logs and cracklin' sticks

We'll lie near by the bricks as we hear the pristine rain

But ‘till we build that home we'll lock our bed room door

Make plans and love within this one room eight by four

I'll never ask for much I'll only ask for more

And as our love is do I'll turn and say to you

We are the last of the romantics

Reaching for love before we lose it to the past

For at the last we are romantic

Free from time and space

We can build a place where all that is romantic can last

So close your eyes and see my clearing in the trees

Your face will feel the breeze and the wind is lace with pine

The sun will rise to where the hills embrace the sky

A stream will wander by like a rolling ball of twine

You must believe I'll make it real I can't say when

But harder times than this have been and even then

A million loves have lived and love lives on again

As long as there are two who say the way we do

We are the last of the romantics

Reaching for love before we lose it to the past

For at the last we are romantic

Free from time and space

We can build a place where all that is romantic can last

We are the last of the romantics

Reaching for love before we lose it to the past

For at the last we are romantic

Free from time and space

We can build a place where all that is romantic can last
