Holiday Romance

I had a break for a week

So I booked my seat

And confirmed a reservation

At a quiet little seaside hotel

I packed my bags

And I caught my train and

Reached my destination

Just in time for the dinner gong--ding dong

Then I saw Lavinia

Standing at the bottom of the stairs

And I fell for Lavinia

The moment that I saw her standing there

Lavinia looked so divine

As she walked up to the table to dine

And then Lavinia's eyes met mine

I thought can this be love

Can this be lovey-dove

Or just a holiday romance?

Can this be long lost love at last

Or is it just a flash in the pan?

Then after cheese and liqueurs they struck up the band

I plucked up my courage and I asked Lavinia to dance

That was the start of my holiday romance

Just a holiday romance

We did the foxtrot, samba and danced through the night

The last waltz came and we held each other so tight

That was the start of my holiday romance

Just a holiday romance

A simple holiday romance

I wonder should I take this chance?

We walked on the beach

And we paddled our feet

And we watched all the swimmers

And my holiday treat felt complete

We drank lemonade

And we sat in the shade

I thought I must be on a winner

And I acted cool and discreet

For I knew that Lavinia

Was the shyest lady that I'd ever met

And I knew that Lavinia

Would only be my lady for the week

It was just a holiday romance

A simple holiday romance

I wonder should I take this chance?

Just a holiday romance

Can this be love

Can this be lovey-dove

Or just a holiday romance?

I tried to kiss her, she walked away

She said "Better stop, my husband's

Coming to collect me today"

That was the end of my holiday

Sweet and innocent holiday

End of my holiday romance
