《When I Write the Book》歌词

[00:00:06] Now I can remember like it was only yesterday

[00:00:15] Love was young and foolish like a little child at play

[00:00:23] But oh how love has changed I never dreamed how easily

[00:00:31] For now I'm just a shadow of the boy I used to be

[00:00:38] Oh yeah

[00:00:40] And when I write the book about my love

[00:00:45] It will be about a man who's torn in half

[00:00:48] About his hope and ambition wasted through the years

[00:00:53] The pain will be written on every page in tears

[00:00:59] Oh when I write the book about my love

[00:01:04] I was a fool to myself when I kept on runnin' around

[00:01:13] And I fared little better when I tried settlin' down

[00:01:21] Maybe some magic moments have I known but not for long

[00:01:29] For all too soon the magic was in a moment gone

[00:01:37] And when I write the book about my love

[00:01:42] It'll be a heartbreaking story of bad luck in love

[00:01:46] When I get down on the pages all I felt

[00:01:50] It will make the hardest hearted of critics' heart melt

[00:01:54] When I write the book about my love

[00:02:11] When I was young love was fun and I was so happy

[00:02:16] I looked so good

[00:02:17] And I dressed so snappy

[00:02:19] Two tone shoes on my feet

[00:02:21] Big old smile on my face

[00:02:23] As I moved and grooved all over the place

[00:02:28] Now I'm down at heel

[00:02:30] My complexion is bad

[00:02:32] 'Cause my love life is sadder than sad

[00:02:36] And when I write the book about my love

[00:02:40] It'll be a pop publication

[00:02:42] Tougher than tough

[00:02:44] When I get down on the pages all I missed

[00:02:48] It will shoot to the top of the best sellers list

[00:02:52] When I write the book about my love
