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
