Chris De Burgh The Ecstacy Of Flight Lyrics

The Ecstacy Of Flight 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,
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...
