He's fallin', he's fallin'
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
Teaching torches to burn bright
She's hanging on the cheek of night
A snowy dove true ping 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 fallin', he's fallin'
He's on his knees before he's on his feet
A jittery romantic
Oh, he's about to be and she's about to see
He's found his 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
(Repeat Chorus)
That's Shakespeare in love
A sinister romantic
He's on his knees before he's on his feet
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
(Repeat Chorus)
That's Shakespeare in love
That's Shakespeare in love
