|
I've heard them say love was a wonderful thing |
|
Something you couldn't hide on a shelf |
|
But to me they no longer have to explain |
|
Because I know for myself |
|
He awakens each morn with a smile on his face |
|
When a boy is in love |
|
And the world to him is a beautiful place |
|
When a boy is in love |
|
He's up and he's gone, there's no breakfast for him |
|
'Cause he lives on the love of his sweet little gem |
|
The days are through, though it's not very long |
|
Before he must talk to his girl on the phone |
|
That's how it is when a boy falls in love |
|
His girl's voice on the phone brings him wondrous delight |
|
When a boy is in love |
|
If there's been any darkness and all face from sight |
|
When a boy is in love |
|
He can hardly wait till the moment they meet |
|
For he knows when he sees her, his day will be complete |
|
When they're finally alone and he kisses her lips |
|
The world sings a love song and his heart turns a flip |
|
That's how it is when a boy falls in love |
|
At the end of the day the time comes they must part |
|
The strains of regret tear away at his heart |
|
And late in the night, as he sleeps in his bed |
|
Visions of her sweet charm, how they dance in his head |
|
And before you know, he is buying a ring |
|
To capture forever that sweet darlin' thing |
|
That's how it is when a boy falls in love |
