I love my love with an "L" that stands for longing
An "L" that once stood for loneliness now stands for lovers lane
And the lake we came to often
And the light through the tress of the moon on the lake and the laughter

In the long long hours that my love is left all alone to sing its song in
I love my love with an "L" that stands for longing

I love my love with an "O" for overpowering
An "O" that once stood for out of bounds now is the overture
Of romantic times and places
For our love seems to be like a tree growing in an oasis

And the sun breaks through and the trees will bloom, the blossoms all start flowering
I love my love with an "O" for overpowering

I love my love with a "V" for very dearly
A "V" that once stood for all in vain now stands for valentine
In a world that's vastly sweeter
For her kiss verifies all the joy in her eyes when I meet her

Life begins anew, it's a differwent view not a vision seen unclearly
I love my love with a "V" for very dearly

I love my love with an "E" for every minute
An "E" that once stood for emptiness now stands for everywhere
That we've ever been together
And the eager embrace that's eternally ours and forever

For a romance will make your life stand still from the moment you begin it
I love my love with an "E" for every minute
I love my love with an "L" for longing, overpowering, very dearly, "E" for every minute of the day
And my love loves me in exactly the same sort of way

There will be violins playing
Softly, somewhere, won't there?
I shall be flying through rainbows
Though I can't fly, shan't I?
And when he lowers his lips
To kiss me, surely
The world will be lost from view
How much of the dream comes true?
He'll be the prince
Out of every childhood story, surely
His arms could crush me
But he will hold me gently, won't he?
And as the dawn slowly opens one eye,
Won't I find life wonderful and new?
How much of the dream comes true?
How much of the dream comes true?

Rome, the city of secrets
every lover has shared.
Narrow streets lead to archways
and thoughts of people who cared.

Pictures painted in sunlight,
happy memories of one night.
Secrets whispered in a fountains spray

Step by step we go walking
where those lovers have gone.
Can you still hear them talking
of times they wandered alone?

Some were gay and lighthearted,
others cried when they parted.
Carved initials in the stone,
echoes of a tender song,
the secrets, the secrets of Rome

Every kiss and every tear,
they are all remembered here,
the secrets, the secrets of Rome.

He's tall and he's dark
And like a shark he looks for trouble
That's why the zero's double
Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

He's suave and he's smooth
And he can soothe you like vanilla
The gentleman's a killer
Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

Damoiselles and danger
Have filled the stranger's past
Like a knife he cuts through life
Like ev'ry day's the last.

He's fast and he's cool
He's from the school that loves and leaves 'em
A pity if it grieves 'em
Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang's not a fool.

[No, he's no fool
He's no fool
He is no fool.]
