When I Write The Book Songtext

now I can remember like it was only yesterday love was young and foolish like a little child at play but oh how lovers change - I never dreamed how easily ?cause now I?m just a shadow of the boy I used to be and when I write the book about my love it will be about a man who?s torn in half about his hopes and ambitions wasted through the years the pain will be written on every page in tears when I write the book about my love I was a fool to myself when I kept on runnin? around and I fared little better when I tried settlin? down maybe some magic moment - I?ve never known one, not for long for all too soon the magic is in a moment gone and when I write the book about my love it?ll be a heartbreaking story about love and luck when I get down on the pages all I felt it will make the hardest-hearted of critics? hearts melt when I write the book about my love when I was young love was fun and I was so happy - I looked so good and I dressed so snappy two-tone shoes on my feet big old smile on my face - as I moved and grooved all over the place now I?m down in the heels my complexion is bad ?cause my love life is sadder than sad and when I write the book about my love it?ll be a pop publication, tougher than tough when I get down on the pages all I missed it will shoot to the top of the best-sellers list when I write the book about my love
