Holiday Romance letra

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

Is it just a holiday romance?
A simple holiday romance
I wondered, should I take a 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 meet
And I knew that Lavinia
Would only be my lady for the week

It was just a holiday romance
A simple holiday romance
I wondered, 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
