ROMANCE ME WITH A SONG OF LOVE
for Gioia

Serenade me in my season of sorrow,
sing your usual part,
and let me see your gypsy dance
that so excites my heart.
Serenade me with your nakedness,
give me your hand without its glove.
Romance me with a song of love.

Serenade me in my hours of struggle,
gather me in your arms,
purr with cat contentment,
enchant me with your charms.
Serenade me with your laughter,
the kind that is a triumph.
Romance me with a song of love.

Serenade me in my days of anger,
thrill me with your touch,
use the tenderest caresses
I always crave so much.
Pamper me with your kisses,
with lips like a fluttering dove.
Romance me with a song of love.
