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


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
That's Shakespeare in love


That's Shakespeare in love

That's Shakespeare in love


That's Shakespeare in love
