That's amore
When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet, you're in love
When you walk in a dream but you know you're not dreamin', signore
'scusa me, but you see, back in old Napoli, that's amore

There is a more recent thread for this one, with some letters, which have led me to CROMLECH (not all matching) A cromlect is a stone sircle, as is a dolment. You have the initial "cr", but I can't make the rest of it fit. But I feel this must be the word.

Yes of course, it's an anagram of CR, HOLMES and smallC
