He caught that look in her eyes
his heart it went boom
that's when he knew that it was true
he thought of them all
the long the short and the tall
what could he do
there was nothing he could do
Read all the lines in the book
how the hero was shot
how the girl that he loved
cried as he died in her arms
see the film of the book
see the close-up the look - see the kiss
did love never promise you this - the kiss
That day he spent all his pay
to show her the way that he knew
that a girl like she knew too
how to live love in style
where to go where to dance with the crowd
where to shout his love out loud
Read all the lines in the book
how the hero was shot
how the girl that he loved
cried as he died in her arms
see the film of the book
see the close-up the look - see the kiss
did love never promise you this - the kiss
