When a Boy Falls in Love

I've heard them say love is a wonderful thing

Something you can't hide on a shelf

But for me they no longer have to explain

Because I know it 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

For he lives on the love of his sweet little gem

The day's not through, but 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

Her voice on the phone brings him wondrous delight

When a boy is in love

If there's been any darkness, it all fades from sight

When a boys in love

He can hardly wait til the moment they meet

For he knows when he sees her his day is 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 strings of regret tear away at his heart

And late in the night as he sleeps on his bed

Sweet visions of her, how they dance in his head

And next thing you know, he's buying a ring

To capture forever that sweet darling thing.

That's how it is when a boy falls in love.
