My Romance

James Taylor

My romance doesn't need to have a moon in the sky

My romance doesn't need a blue lagoon standing by

No month of May

No shining star

No hideaway

No soft guitar

My romance doesn't need a castle rising in Spain

Nor a dance to a constantly surprising refrain

Wide awake I can make my most fantastic dreams come true

'Cause my romance doesn't need a thing but you

About this Song

My Romance by James Taylor is a tender ballad that delves into the simplicity and purity of true love. The lyrics express a sentiment that romance need not be embellished with grand gestures or extravagant settings. Instead, it celebrates the beauty of love found in the everyday moments and honest emotions shared between two people. Key themes include love, simplicity, contentment, and the rejection of superficiality. One particularly poignant moment is when Taylor sings about not needing 'a castle rising in Spain' to feel the depth of his emotions, underscoring the idea that authentic love transcends materialistic desires.
