When A Boy Falls In Love

Sam Cooke

I've heard them say love was a wonderful things

Something you couldn't hide on a shelf

But for 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 beatiful 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 not 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, 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 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 strings of regret tear away at his heart

And late in the night as he sleeps on his bed

Visions of her sweet song, how they dance in his head

And before you know he is buying a ring

To capture forever that sweet darling thing

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

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