Píseň: When A Boy Falls In Love

Interpret:
Sam Cooke
Album:
Try A Little Love
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
