He's fought and he's fallen He's on his knees before he's on his feet A sinister romantic Oh, he's about to be and she's about to see Teachin' torches to burn bright She's hanging on the cheek of night A snowy dove trooping with crows He never saw true beauty till tonight CHORUS: She'll take him to the brink of deliverance Show him that much Oh, don't you know it Oh, don't you know it So he falls in love to feel that he's falling She'll let him know his heart Oh, don't you know it Oh, don't you know it That's Shakespeare in love He's fought and he's fallen He's on his knees before he's on his feet A glittery romantic Oh, he's about to be and she's about to see His bounty's boundless like the sea His love is endless, just as deep The more he gives the more he has 'Cause both of them are truly infinite CHORUS: She'll take him to the brink of deliverance Show him that much Oh, don't you know it Oh, don't you know it So he falls in love to feel that he's falling She'll let him know his heart Oh, don't you know it Oh, don't you know it That's Shakespeare in love That's Shakespeare in love A sinister romantic He's on his knees before he's on his feet CHORUS: She'll take him to the brink of deliverance Show him that much Oh, don't you know it Oh, don't you know it So he falls in love to feel that he's falling She'll let him know his heart Oh, don't you know it Oh, don't you know it That's Shakespeare in love That's Shakespeare in love
