There was a boy...
A very strange enchanted boy.
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea,
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he.
And then one day,
A magic day, he passed my way.
And while we spoke of many things,
Fools and kings,
This he said to me,
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return.
And then one day,
A magic day, he passed my way.
And while we spoke of many things,
Fools and kings,
This he said to me,
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
More than you know
More than you know
Man of my heart, I love you so
Lately I find
You're on my mind
More than you know
Whether you're right, whether you're wrong
Man of my heart, I'll string along
You need you so
More than you'll ever know
Loving you the way that I do
There's nothing I can do about it
Loving may be all you can give
But honey, I can't live without it
Oh how I'd cry, oh how I'd cry
If you got tired, and said goodbye
More than I'd show
My romance doesn't have to have a moon in the sky
My romance doesn't need a blue lagoon standing by
No month of May
No shining stars
No hideaway
No soft guitar
My romance doesn't need a castle rising in Spain
Nor a dance to a constantly surprising refrain
Wide awake I can make my most fantastic dreams come true
'Cause my romance doesn't need a thing but you
Wide awake I can make my most fantastic dreams come true
He's a fool and don't I know it
But a fool can have her charms
I'm in love and don't I show it
Like a babe in arms
Men, are not a new sensation
I've done pretty well I think
But this half-pint imitation
Put me on the blink
I'm wild again, beguilded again
A simpering, whimpering child again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
Couldn't sleep, and wouldn't sleep
And ------ I do, if I shouldn't sleep
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
Lost my heart, but what of it?
My mistake I agree
He's a laugh, but I love it
Because the laugh's on me
A pill he is, but still he is
All mine and I'll keep him until he is
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - like me
La, da, da, da, da, di, dam
Mmmmmmm
La, da, da, da, da, da, dam
I guess the laugh's on me
I slept again, I tripped again
The way to my heart is unzipped again
