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
|
& the world to him is a beautiful place
|
When a boy is in love
|
|
He's up & 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 & 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 & he kisses her lips
|
The world sings a love song & 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
|
& late in the night, as he sleeps in his bed
|
Visions of her sweet charm, how they dance in his head
|
& 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
|
