Lyrics of Romance Runs in the Family by Glenn Miller
chorus
Romance runs in the family
So, honey, what can I do?
My ma′s romantic, my pa's romantic
And I′m that way about you
Romance runs in the family
It's always played a big part
For generations we've been sensations
In all affairs of the heart
verse
Every one of our descendants down through the centuries
Gave away their independence for moments like these
And that′s the reason
chorus
Romance runs in the family
So honey, what do you say?
My folks would like it
If we could strike it
The same sweet way
Writer(s): Al Hoffman, Al Goodhart, Mann Curtis
